What does the mercenary's race have to do with this story?

It's part of the story.

And why did you feel it necessary to add "US Black" in parentheses to the thread title?

Because there are more Americans on FR than Russians or Chechenyans (sp?).

It is information that is available in the body of the story. Why did you feel compelled to add it in parentheses to the threadline?

Because there are more Americans on FR than Russians or Chechenyans (sp?).

Then why not just say "American" instead of "US black"? Why is the man's race relevant?

What is wrong with recognizing that certain misguided Americans are terrorists. In this instance, it was a US black that was murdering innocent school children.

And it is not limited to the color of a man's skin. Do you remember the US white who was a captured member of Osama's group?

To me, it shows that not all the terrorists are foreign terrorists. The time will probably come when we are having to fight them "over here" as well as "over there."
