White supremacism, firm-rooted in US?
Recently, Dylan Roof, a white supremacist, walked into a church in Charleston, South Carolina and shot dead nine black worshipers. He said he wanted to start a “race war.”
Only months before, another killing in Charleston, this time by a police officer. Walter Scott was shot dead in the back by police officer Michael Slager. Race killings are never far from the news these days in America.
Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Walter Scott and Fredie Gray. These are just some of the black men recently shot dead by white police officers in the United States.
The killings have brought massive protests and riots to numerous towns across America and sullied the image of the country in the eyes of the world.
And now, Dylan Roof. Many have called him insane. But is he merely part of a wider white supremacist movement? After the terrorist attack, a black church was burnt nearly every day for a week. This was mostly ignored by US media.
