This is going to be different from
other blogs I post. This is about a topic that is in the news but I
won't be using any names. Once the names of all the victims are
released I'll do that, but as for the shooter, his name will not be
mentioned in this post. Earlier today (yesterday as of this posting)
a 21 year old kid shot and killed nine people in church. It is said
that it was done because of their race. That is easy to believe when
you know that the kid was not a fan of Black people which all the
victims were and he is White and is all about racial supremacy.

This attack is being labeled a hate
crime as well as a terrorist attack. I don't like that. I don't like
either of those terms for various reasons. When you say hate crime it
marginalizes it. It means this against that. This race versus that
one. It makes people look at those that are the same skin color of
the attacker angry at people who've done nothing to them. Race crimes
get explanations attached to them that eventually lose their edge.
This isn't all about a race. Its about one idiot and his skewed
perception of reality.
