An African-American man in his 30s has been arrested for setting a string of fires at black churches in St. Louis, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting.
Speculation swirled that the fires were racially-motivated, especially given the proximity to Ferguson, Mo., the St. Louis suburb that was the site of massive protests last year over the police-involved shooting of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man.
A white priest at St. Louis’ Christ Church Cathedral asserted that the arsonist had racist motives.
“Holy God, if we ever needed a wake-up call to believe that racism is alive in St. Louis — if this is not it, I don’t know what it could be,†Mike Kinman said, according to CNN.

Black churches matter...
He’ll probably turn out to be a leader in the Black Lives Matter organization, or otherwise an Obama/Sharpton agitator.
That black fool arsonist must have thought they were “white” churches.
“A white priest at St. Louis’ Christ Church Cathedral asserted that the arsonist had racist motives.”
Useful idiot.
I think he knew what they were.
Looks like he may have been right. Just not the ones he originally guessed.
Well, there goes the whole narrative for that one.
Wonder if it will make the evening news? /you gotta know I’m joking
Always knew it would turn out to be a black person.
Maybe, but I doubt it. More likely he thought whitey would be blamed, as supported by the priest's statements.
Backstory to this will be interesting. If he did this hoping to blame white people he’ll still somehow be a hero. He’ll be seen as an “activist” in the “movement”...
Once again political correctness inspired conventional wisdom was wrong.
Probably just a Democrat. Democrats have been burning black churches since the civil war.

We’ve seen this kind of false flag incident dozens of time. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth among the leftists, possibly even some slitting of wrists.
Late Friday news that doesn’t fit the agenda will be forgotten by Monday.
“This Don’t Matter” will become their new mindless chant.
An African-American man in his 30s...
With the recent “you are what you feel” movement, maybe they will explain that he’s a white man trapped in black skin, so its still a racist act.
This is no problem for commies. Just like Dan Rather-not. Sure the documents were forged, but the story is still true. In this case, sure it was a black man hoping to pin this on whites, but the story of white’s doing it is still true.
