Pros And Cons Of Dylan Roof

Decent Essays
Immediately after the Charleston shootings, the media reported that Dylan Roof was an insane maniac with a drug problem. And that seems to be the case, for the most part.

But for those us who are conscience of what’s really going on in this world, we need to ask ourselves...Are we any less insane, watching idly as our countries follow the same path of South Africa?

Obviously, indiscriminate violence should always be condemned, but so should inaction and nonintervention.

The following discussion is from a Rhodesian White man now living in South Africa. He talks about Dylan Roof and the liberal agenda here in America… And warns us how liberal hypocrisy is leading us to a future state of South Africa.

His perspectives are drawn from his

    On February 26th, 2012, 17 year old Trayvon Martin was shot on the streets of Sanford, Florida, because he was perceived as threatening by local vigilante, George Zimmerman. Following Martin’s death, the nation was both shocked and outraged. How could something of racist nature occur here, in America? Yet this wasn’t the first incident, it was the first time the populace found out. In the United States, African Americans are two and a half times more likely to be killed by police than their white counterparts, though they may not even be committing a crime.…

    The Civil Rights Movement is taught in today’s classrooms in a way that discredits what the Black community went through and how they combatted the wrath of white supremacy in America. The European narrative of this historic event diminishes the potential influence it could have on current social justice movements, such as the Black Lives Matter movement. Not only is the involvement and the experiences of Black women are not included with the European narrative of the Civil Rights Movement, stories of Black people using firearms to protect themselves and their community are not told either. Seeing how that ignored part of the movement could actually inspired more efficient social movements and leaders, Charles E. Cobb decided to write This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed : How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible to showcase the reality of how Black people fought for their rights in this country.…

    Ida B. Wells-Barnett chronicles the gruesome attack on the civil rights of a people who have suffered far too much at the hands of a corrupt system in her work Mob Rule in New Orleans. In these retelling of the events that occurred on July 24th, 1900, it is evident that justice, in the hands of a racist and oppressive force, can never truly be justice. The most appalling realization that any reader of this work may come to is that one-hundred and eighteen years later, in our current American climate, the crimes committed against black Americans and other people of color still occur, and even more horrifying is the politicized, often racist media response and coverage that follows these events. As I moved through this text, I was continually disturbed by the experiences that three malicious bluecoats caused for countless African American members of their community, and how at the end of the day the perpetrators of murder and crime got off scot-free. Through this analysis, it is my goal to connect the past with the present to understand the racism that still affects our systems of government and police forces.…

    In response to the deaths of Mike Brown (27 August 2014) and Ferguson (09 August 2014), many protests emerged throughout the nation. “The police response to the uprising was intended to repress and punish the population, who had dared to defy their authority” (155). As the daily protests went on, the police brutality of Ferguson increased as a result of “frustration that they {police} could not make the Black men and women of Ferguson submit” (156). The Ferguson rebellion became the “focal point for the growing anger in Black communities across the country” (157). The young people of Ferguson experienced daily harassment.…

    “One-fourth of college students surveyed at the University of California say racism is no longer a problem in the U.S.” (Kingkade, 2015). This may be hard to believe with highly publicized cases such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner. Racism is still very much alive and is still a problem in the United States. After examining two articles, it is apparent that Ron Christie’s Justice Was Served in Ferguson—This Isn’t Jim Crow America and Victor M. Rios’s The Hyper-Criminalization of Black and Latino Male Youth in the Era of Mass Incarceration rhetorical situations differ in; stance, audience and purpose, but share a similarity in the issue.…

    Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Mike Brown, and many more have joined a category of African American people, who have been unjustly slain. Although, their murders have been highly publicized, caused uproars and inspired movements such as #blacklivesmatter, the people in this category have received little to no justice. It appears that we are seeing more and more African American lives taken. The fact that most of these murders are at the hands of white police officers or vigilantes calls to question whether the slave master has earned a badge and if he swapped his whip for a gun. These homicides are a modern-day mechanism for social control of African Americans.…

    On Friday, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot down in a motorcade on his way through Dealey Plaza. Through investigation and debate, the Warren Commission found that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin (Report of the Warren Commission On the Assassination of President Kennedy). “The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy”(“Top 10 JFK Assassination Quotes”). This final report done by the House Select Committee on Assassinations clearly contradicts the Warren Commission’s Report on the Kennedy Assassination which states that only a lone shooter killed JFK. Through careful research and examination, it is shown…
