He chose Emanuel Church because he wanted to be sure he wasn’t killing white people

From this excellent and detailed Washington Post piece:

In custody, Roof told police that he chose Emanuel Church because he wanted to be sure he wasn’t killing white people. He said he “almost didn’t go through with it because they were so nice to him,” said a state lawmaker who was briefed by police.

Roof reportedly called the killings “my mission.”

The fact that Republicans are saying that this was an attack on Christians or whatever and not an attack on black people is really messed up.

They need to be called out on this repeatedly.
