(CNN)A fire broke out at the Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Greeleyville, South Carolina, on Tuesday. Up to 50 firefighters fought to extinguish the blaze, a fire official said.

As yet, authorities do not know what caused it, said Williamsburg County Fire Chief Randy Swinton.

The local sheriff, local police and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division have also responded to the fire at the traditionally black church.

The FBI and five agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is also investigating, said ATF Special Agent Tom Mangan.

"Anytime there is a house of worship involved in a fire, ATF is automatically assigned to look into the cause," he said.

One report suggested lightning as a cause.

It’s a wave of insurance fraud. All of these other pastors know what happened in Charleston was a fraud and they want their cut too.

Yes. He said similar things many times. He made remarks about “White Trash”, too.

Until we know the cause of the fire is 1960s-style racial hatred and not lightning, wiring, candles, or arson for hire, this is a local news story.

Blacks are very free with the word ‘faggot,’ too. What if Queer Nation set the fire? Is it still a hate crime?

“....traditionally black church.”


This is not racist as opposed to an ALL African or nigra or black church.

BUT have a traditional white church and the black (no pun intended) booted thugs from the government with all kinds of writs would descend on them from all points of the compass.

Sheeeeeit.
