Racism and Hatred in the United States

Dylan Roof’s race-hate driven murder of nine African-American congregants at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina is just the most recent of numerous acts of racist violence perpetrated by whites on blacks in the US, including some attacks by police officers which have gone unpunished despite the evidence of video footage. Roof was wearing a shirt with the old South African flag and the old Rhodesian flag but there’s evidence that he was also inspired by the Ku Klux Klan which still exists in southern states of the US and whose hooded robes have become the recognisable symbol of white racist extremism.
