It's not a mystery Nikki Haley.

Some of us understand what motivated this act and it was not anything to do with a church.

Hey stupid Fox News person. This was not an anti-Christian act

And you GOP candidate for President

Yes they were killed because they were Christians

And you different GOP candidate for President

Oh double Yes, they were killed because Religious Liberty

And you evil NRA member who can twist everything into if we just had a whole lot more guns


Oh thank you, they were killed because GUNS aren't in everyone's hands

And you, another GOP candidate

No I guess you're right. It is not going to be fixed by your government if your government actively endorses the message that might encourage your activity, by say flying a flag in memory of those who fought in the first race war in this country, on the side that believed in white superiority. Or sold you a state license plate with that flag on it and whose governor can't understand what motivated this man to act.

Well the killer had told all of you what motivated him and it is RACISM It is the hatred of black people. It has nothing to do with victimizing Christians. It has nothing to do with political votes on guns. Maybe just maybe we can get those on the right to say words to acknowledge that there are racists in this country, who strangely seem to love the good old stars and bars (nothing but a symbol of Southern pride, BS).

I can't say it as well as a comment I found online:

It's hard to imagine a more dismissive treatment of the victims of a mass murder than to studiously ignore their very identity, the very thing that they were explicitly targeted and killed for, because your own ideology would prefer the truth be something different. To go even farther, and claim that their murder was not even about them, it was about your group, and how their murders prove how your group has been victimized. At least have the withered decency to acknowledge that the openly racist murderer was a racist murderer—that the man who said he was there to kill black Americans was, indeed, there to kill his victims for being black Americans. Do not give bull**** statements about your sympathies for the community when you aren't willing to even name the "community" being targeted.
