Charleston, Dylann Roof and the racism of millennials
The Washington Post ^ | June 19,2015 | Karen Attiah

Posted on 06/19/2015 7:24:52 AM PDT by Biggirl

America should be shaken to its very core by what happened in Charleston. The gruesome massacre of nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, a historically black church in Charleston, S.C., may amount to the worst racially motivated terror attack of our generation and a deeply violent reminder that racism and white supremacy continue to course through America’s veins. One cannot help but draw comparisons to the firebombing of a black church in Birmingham, Ala., almost 52 years ago.

That is because in some ways, they are the most racist.

They are conditioned to see everything as race and color.

Tell a millennial that you want to end immigration, as our over population heads to 500 million, which will be followed by a billion.

All he will hear, is “racism”, talk about improving education, law enforcement, affirmative action etc.........

Good point.
If someone is continually told by another person or an organization that they are evil, etc. then that victim has two possible reactions: (a) to believe what they are being told, or (b) to completely reject that person/organization and its message. Some will do (a), the healthier ones will do (b).
The Left and their Media cohorts will reap a ton of rejection.

“Racism and white supremacy continue to course through America’s veins”

He is caught. The American of European descent police did not let him go.

There is a group of people in this country who make money by exploiting Americans of African descent.

We used to call them slavers.

Now they are liberals.

Rather he is demons possessed which is better to say, under the control of the evil one.

If you cram Radical political Correctness down people’s throat that is completely blatant, you will end up with a certain percentage who will rebel and they will become full blown racists as an act of rebellion because the PC message they are being force fed is so off the walls in the first place that they fell they have to swing the pendulum back in the complete opposite direction.

When bad times hit these people will be proven right and all hell will break lose.

It is like what i have said before, this quest for “PC at any price” is gonna get a whole lot of people killed in the long run, especially minorities.

I have just been watching CBC Canada T/V. A member of the NAACP is holding forth. I think I caught the name Brooks. What followed is a diatribe of pure thinly disguised race hate. The man had veins standing out on his forehead. One target was the flag of the Confederacy. I stand to be corrected but he was calling for the banning of it.

I consider myself to an extent independent here. I make no mistake. The man's speech and manner is hatred of the vilest kind, because of it's thin disguise. Easy to see through the Reverend Wright, he left himself wide open. This man more skilled.

Because he is a muslim, one of Obama’s chosen people. You recall Obama saying that if things went badly for the muzzies, he would side with them.

Violent racists on both sides will be coming out of their holes after this. But we should look at why this relapse into more open violent racism is occurring>

Is it because Obama fulfilled the hopes of so many Americans of good will that he would set an example of a post-racial Presidency? Or has he pushed all the buttons the wrong way, jumping into controversies on bad information and inflaming the situations by elevating them into national racially tinged crises? And of course, he had the active support of Eric Holder and his frequent visitor, race hustler Al Sharpton.

He didn’t come back and try to heal the wounds in Ferguson, on Trayvon Martin, on Baltimore, or any of the other issues he helped escalate into white vs. black conflicts, even after trials and investigations gave the lie to the first reports.

Instead of being a force for reconciliation, the Obamas and their henchmen have been active in fanning the flames of black anger at whites into riot and personal attacks like the ‘knock out game” -— all the while doing absolutely nothing of substance to help black communities get out of poverty and the destruction of their culture and families through drugs, gangs, and anti-education attitudes by children.

So it is not surprising that the white racists will come crawling out from under their rocks to oppose what they see as a purposeful policy of destruction (transformation) of their country and the American ethos. They will encourage and welcome a race war in America.

So for many of us who had high hopes for a post-racial Presidency, all we see is a provoked retreat into the violent past on both side of the racial divide.

My post on the President of the NAACP seemed somewhat harsh accusing him of race hatred. I tried to access any information and cannot seem to find any real overt Sharpton type stuff.

I did find an interview with one Erin Burnett with Mr. Brooks. She quoted the stepfather of Michael Brown, an black male shot by police. He screamed "Burn this bitch down" referring to Ferguson city. Mr. Brooks replied " I don't think it was a call for violence, or caused violence". Somewhat debatable I would think. I just seemed to think that race baiting was a valid criticism of Mr. Brooks on the subject of Roof's evil deed.

I propose any references to millenials as being the least racist group be amended to WHITE MILLENIALS. The black ones are THE most racist, as evidenced by their flash mobs, participation in several high-profile riots, beating old, white WWII veterans to death and violent-crimes-against-whites statistics in general.

I’d put the 1960’s Black Panthers, Symbionese Liberation Army, and Black Muslims up against those black millennials any day.

Having to grow up watching the nightly news celebrate the first African American Disabled Trans-Lesbian Feminist Women’s Studies Major to successfully pump her own gas could potentially lead to hard feelings.

And then the news follows up this story with the story about the white guy who got shot to death for his cell phone or $50 in the cash register.
