Charleston SC Church Shooting!!!!!

Hello folks I am not happy right now about 9 lives needlessly snuffed out by a white racist creep just because they were black. I am also hearing from folks that we need to love in these times of tragedy but when is the love going to show? White folks though most are disturbed by this tragedy I say it is not enough. When is it going to stop? Unarmed Black men being shot by the police? White folks gunning down black folks just because of the color of our skin? Black folks killing other black folks? My wife once told me these things are a spiritual attack on black folks and I'm starting to believe her? My thing is every time these things happen folks want to stop the violence and show love. Thing is if love was being shown these shootings would not be happening period. How can you ask someone to show love when folks are being killed needlessly by hate? This is the first thing folks want to do is calm us down, there are times when calm is not needed. Not saying violence is the ultimate answer but seems like the powers that be only understand violence. Peaceful marches are not working, the powers that be do not listen that because hate is being taught. I said earlier the blame falls on white folks in general. Of course not all because I know plenty of white folks that are good people(my wife, my Aunt Melanie for two). I am talking about is the hate taught from the time folks are babies against people who are different than they are. Hate against color of skin, special needs children, folks who might not be as smart as someone else, someone that looks different than the normal, these kind of things fit. People are scared of things that are different from them and if that's the case that makes for a dull world. This white racist creep walked into a church and systematically murdered 9 people. Why? Because of the color of their skin and the creep couldn't take the fact he couldn't survive without other folks different from him in the world. The problem is there are more like him walking around out there and I'm afraid we are going to see more and more outrageous things like this happening in America. Why? The laws do not adequately punish criminals like they should be punished so there's no deterrent from folks doing things like this. I hope folks are learning this is not a "postracial" society and racism is just as bad as it was during slavery and the reconstruction. The thing is racism is just different now put on a different prism than those times. This creep has the mentality of the Mob that destroyed Black Wall Street in Tulsa,Ok in 1921. Have things really changed in the abstract from when that jealous white Mob decided to attack those folks? Sometimes anger over these things needs to simmer on the surface instead of calm, maybe this will change these rotten attitudes of folks who do this kind of cowardly killing. This problem has to be fixed by white folks because they have the economic power in this country. Black folks we can do our part but nothing will get done unfortunately until white folks change their attitudes and the way they raise their children. Also I am not convinced justice will be served in this case, remember this is SOUTH CAROLINA folks where the Rebel flag still flies at the State Capitol. This is my rant today, God Bless and Peace to the Creatures(hopefully).
