Yeah, you got that one right.
The broader point, which the _Resident is at pains to deny for the sake of his politics, is that that kind of antipathy is rarer in the white community than it was 40 years ago or 60 years ago.
That's why the _Resident has to send out Sharpton and Holder to stir up the hate.
The Internet is alive with references to "race war" the wake of Roof's act. From what I've seen they're all coming from the black communities. The media conveniently ignores the fact that blacks have shot ten times as many blacks in the last three or four weeks. Now that doesn't (in any way) excuse what Roof did, nor does it tie his act to (variously) to southerners, Christians, or conservatives. It does go to illustrate that, even with the isolated act of a deranged person, the ones
screaming for conflict and confrontation ain't us.
I don't want a race war. None of my friends or family - from north or south - wish that on our nation. But we won't shrink from it either.
I guess we're having that "dialog on race" that Witholder said we were too cowardly to have.
