A terrorist gently walked into a church in Charleston, South Carolina and was welcomed with open arms by the church members.  As the church members did their prayer service, a white man named Dylann Roof waited one hour setting next to the black church members before getting up and shooting them.

The terrorist act isn't new to what is going on in the black community.  This year headlines have circled the world talking about unarmed and usually innocent black men and women being killed in a hail of bullets from police.  Many of these police have emails and text that show their racist and militant views towards black people.  Often these police officers are not prosecuted and usually are on paid leave while going through the American Judicial System.

Dylann Roof will also go through the same justice system.  The act of terror on the black community has many in that community angry that not more is done, and often white gunmen are looked at as having mental issues vs dealing with the deep rooted racist hatred that America was built on.  Dylann Roof even was shown with oppression flags from South Africa, Zimbabwe when they were under apartheid by the white minority in those African countries.  He also was near the oppressive Rebel flag that is still the flag that South Carolina uses.  The rebel flag is what the South used as a way of setting up their own country using their own currency, flag, and rules.  While the South lost, many American Southern States still carry part of the rebel flag as their State flag.

Dylann Roof is an example of society that ignores ignorance, non-acceptance, and one that creates excuses.  He, as a terrorist, should be dealt with like those involved in the 9-11 terrorist plot that hit New York City, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC.  Just because he is born in America, doesn't mean that he can't be viewed and treated as a terrorist threat.
