First and foremost, I would like to pay my respect to the people of Charleston SC who families were affected by this hate crime. My prayers and love goes out to everyone in the community and the families for this senseless act. The next thing that needs to be addressed is the fact that Dylann Roof decided to walk into a church, sit at a table and decides to open fire. How could a person be so ruthless to just walk into a church and kill innocent people who are practicing their faith? Answer... Because Dylann Roof is a racist and had no remorse! Point, blank, period!!! He has been photographed with the confederate flag proudly, multiple guns in his hands, stepping on the American flag and even made a statement that he felt black people were taking over the world and he had to do something for "his people".

Police says Roof shot nine people inside Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church which is an historic location in South Carolina. Eight died at the scene; a ninth died at a hospital. Before he left the church, he asked one of the members whether he had shot her, and she said no."And he said good, because we need a survivor because I'm going to kill myself," Which he had clearly no intentions of doing.

The problem I have with this whole ordeal is the fact that it seems like the government is on his side! The judge wants people to think about the feelings of Dylann as well as his family! WTF... Wait there's more! As he is being transported from one location to another, the officials decides to stop at Burger King and provide him with a meal! Once again, wtf! How does this work? Everyday people are being detained, sentenced, etc and given the worse bail amount possible but Dylann gets a fundraiser as well a meal for the hateful crime he committed? You tell me what's wrong with this picture.

This is just a horrible event but what it does show is the judical system and the government clearly feel the same way that Dylann does. If it were the other way around and a black man opened fire within a white church, he would've either gotten shot on sight or given the death penalty without question. We've watched Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin and many more loose their life over acts from the authorities of the U.S.A but every single one, got off with a paid vacation and no repercussions.

All I ask is that America wake up... Especially Black America! We will never have justice, equality and all the things our ancestors and civil rights leaders fought for and it's sad. When will it end? My answer is, it won't. Before I end this story, I fell the obligation to show what the media will not, Dylann Roof as the racist and hateful person that he is!
