(CNN)—Dylann Roof admits he did it, two law enforcement officials said -- shooting and killing nine people he'd sat with for Bible study at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina.

But why? To start a race war, Roof told investigators, according to one of the officials.

By telling authorities his aim, Roof admitted he attacked unarmed civilians for political purposes in an act of terror.

There you have it. He wasn't looking for Christians. He wasn't completely disengaged from reality. He bought a gun with his birthday money so he could start a race war. Because he has been taught to hate "the other".

1. White America is treating this like "just a shooting" when it was an act of terror, because...

since wasn't an act of terror to white people, its not being treated as an act of terror.

2. What the RW media wants is white folks in fear of not white folks...this is killing the narrative.

And since the corporate media is in fear of the RW media they will not call them out...it is like a circle jerk of media criminal incompetence.

4. Actually the word 'terror' is never applied to Domestic Terrorists. That word is being reserved for

the purpose of getting support for all of our Wars for Profit. To apply it to the actual real threat which is right here in the US, see all the mass murders over the past few years, would make people sit up and think and realize that more Americans are being murdered by Americans, mostly white young men, than have been by any foreign terrorist over the past decade and a half.

Terror is the language or war. For Domestic terrorists we have different language.

Killer cops imo, fall under the Terror label also, they have killed over 500 US citizens since Jan of this year, most of them African Americans.

Yet 'none dare call it terror'.

We have two kinds of terrorist here. One, White Cops and haters like this latest mass killer, who are terrorizing the African American community. And then we have the other kind, like Lanza.

We need to bring our troops home where they are NOT protecting anyone, see the statistics, and start demanding that Americans, and most particularly African Americans, are protected from the growing Domestic Terrorism against them right here by Home Grown Terrorists.
