"It just seemed too senseless, too random. It just didn't fit us," she said as she left the Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Va. "I'm not saying that we can't, but with all of the past things that have happened, it just didn't seem like the type of thing we would do."

Why don't you speak for yourself, Ms. Foster, instead of for "us."

... Morgan and Small both said they hoped that Muhammad's arrest won't create more racism for black American males ...
I demand reparations.

Leave it to the "race baiting" media to stir up the racial garbage. I hadn't really thought about them as blacks, but as sick killers; which is what they are. Until the left, gives up the racial c*ap, we're always going to have problems.

"But this just shows that the devil, he has an affirmative action program."

I've known for years that the devil is a Democrat....

As opposed to say....., your typical drive-by shooting?

"It just seemed too senseless, too random. It just didn't fit us," she said ...

It's not the black angle that worries me, it's the Black Muslim angle.

This isn't a "black" thing. It's an Islamist thing.

I seriously do not consider for one second that these shootings are a black thing, not at all, BUT, I do like to rub the fact that blacks did it into the faces of all those racists, white and black, who said it was a angry white male gun-show-loving redneck.

Yeah...."more racism"......oh, pullleeaasee......while racism exists today, it is more "equal opportunity" racism practiced by a few in ALL races......but "some" races won't admit that.

Divide and conquer. That's been the liberal game plan for the past 35 years. They won't stop using the race card until it stops working for them....

"Black Muslim"

Excuse me, but anything that is black and scary, such as an AR-15, must be label an "assault" something or other.

So, please refer to such people by the politically-correct term of "Assault Muslims".

Thank you,
The Management

"Beverly Foster, a 49-year-old black dentist from Arlington, Va., believed them, saying she didn't think blacks "killed like that." "

Hey Bev, been to Rwanda lately? In this same racist vein, Juan Williams [Sunday morning Fox channel bobblehead group groper] stated that he was "amazed" when he found out that the killer[s]"was one of us". And these racists vote!!!! The heavy left collectivists have created this racial divide for their own perverse ends and it remains to be seen whether it can ever be closed.

The guy is probably lying ,but,his boasting about being CIA leaves one wondering if that may be where he got his training.Before someone starts flaming,I am not suggesting this was planned by the CIA.My point is,his cold blooded murdering of civilians looks as if he could have been a sniper at some time,in another country.The more one kills the easier it becomes.It's not as if the CIA doesn't have snipers in other countries now is it.

"the Black Muslim angle"....they don't have to be black to be a problem, if that is what is on their minds. I do see your point, however.

Exactly! The media is dragging out the racial angle in order to avoid the obvious Muslim connection. It makes no sense to tie race to these killings, since the sniper killed people of all races, including his own. He was motivated by his perverse religion and hatred of America, not by race.

Apparently everyone's conveniently forgotten Colin Ferguson who shot up a trainload of people in New York some years ago. But people should not worry about a "racist" backlash.
If anything most whites will bend over backwards to avoid
a pointlessly divisive reaction like that. It's as though
the blacks quoted in the article really want (and pretend to "expect") a renewal of retrograde "racism". It's really
an extension of the current and ongoing "not all Muslims are like that" syndrome. But, of course, this black happened also to be a Muslim. So if we could just restrict
ourselves to a little "anti-Muslim" sentiment, folks, we should be alright.................
