My drafted post would have gotten me the ban hammer from this site.
The rage I feel at this moment...
If I see one corny "Legion of Bigot" posters in here, I'm coming for your neck[emoji]128545[/emoji]

Very sad news. It's obviously domestic terrorism. Don't expect this type of stuff in 2015

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

just waiting for someone to come in and say this wasnt racially motivated

MelechT: Apparently, this wasn't the first interaction that this terrorist has had with Mother Emanuel Church. They knew him and welcomed him.

Not sure why the city isn't on lockdown right now....

This **** is eating my insides


then the media seems to be more worried about if negros are going to be peaceful


When I learned about the Alabama church bombing as a kid I was like "wow life was so dangerous as a negro" "no way this will happen again"

Now at 28 I feel like I'm living in the history I once was taught. While we've gained some there also has been new methods put in place to target us.

Obama being in office has really made these white supremacist become physically dangerous. At this point I honestly feel like I need to be strapped at all times. Especially being in the south because I would rather die from an illness than by one of these white supremacist


Thoughts is with all my brothers and sisters in charleston

What the **** is happening.

Where would that be though? That's the question I find myself asking right now.

Not entirely sure, to be honest. Obviously there's racism everywhere so you'll never be able to completely avoid it. But I gotta believe there are places out there where the black/white thing isn't so prominent.

And part of it would be to stop the charade of acting like I'm accepted here by the majority. As I get older I see more and more that I'm not. Ive grown tired of pretending.

I've only been in this country for ten years and I feel the same way about people acting like they don't mind seeing me and people like me. To be honest, I'd move back to my country of origin in a heartbeat if it didn't look like it is on the brink of collapse. African countries should take advantage of the fact there are capable black people in all fields willing to move to places where their skin color wouldn't be a life threatening condition; not to say that there isn't any tribalism/separatism/xenophobia present in these countries, but skin color generally isn't a trigger for this level of hate.

So I guess it is open season on black people. We can't even worship anymore. But I guarantee that they will do an investigation, into the lives of the black people and make sure that they don't have checkered pasts, then they will memorialize them via the media, while giving the shooters a pass because he may have grown up in a dysfunctional family.

I haven't seen any other reports about it...hopefully it's unsubstantiated and just someone trying to be first to break a story on Twitter, but man....it's just sickening.

 

[fontaine]

To my famb trying to get to another country...

I visited Johannesburg and Cape Town South Africa...


As am american black... You get CRAZY respect... Would go back 10/10




Not sure if I'm quite grasping the gravity of this...



I feel like the anger still hasn't hit me yet... Like... I'm not sure if I'm as emotional right now because I can't wrap my head around a dude doing this...


When that dude ran up on them kids... **** didn't hit home until a couple days later when I totally understood the gravity and just how hateful a muh ***** can be. I just broke down.

I feel like I'm saying "wtf"... Will be followed by the true pain...

I'm welling up typing this, yo...

Just read this:

The Memphis shooting was near a church & not inside, it was a domestic disturbance between a man and a women. #MemphisShooting

If he doesn't get caught then it will only further embolden this clown, or inspire a bunch of copy cat acts of violence.
