reverend eric manning is now mother emanuel s new pastor. are you concerned there could be more mass shootings like what you experienced in this church? there s always a possibility. i would pray that s not the case. but if we do not do anything, then evil will continue to rear its head. when photos emerged of the emanuel ame shooter posing with the confederate flag, lawmakers and activists demanded that something should be done. 23 days after the charleston massacre, governor nikki haley removed the flag from statehouse grounds. that flag does not represent the future of our great state. but on white nationalist websites like stormfront, the same sites that dylann roof frequented, exists an entirely different challenge. when nikki haley removed the
i mean, jack, is it correct that the white house that the spokesperson from the white house should parrot a random tweet from the president that is just factually inaccurate and just demonstrably a lie? well, i think we know sarah sanders has so many things on her plate that this probably was not a great statement of hers. i think the criticism is valid. but i do think that the fbi does owe everybody an explanation here. but not just here but if you look at dylann roof, the charleston massacre that killed 10 people. there was also a glitch in the background check which the fbi could be helpful for. there was a situation because he had been arrested for marijuana. he should not have been allowed to buy a gun. the guy named kevin neal in texas killed five people and he had also had some arrest records. and then the guy there s no doubt the fbi and any law enforcement should be held responsible for any glitches and stuff. but it does not have anything to do you acknowledge it
necessarily joining actual groups. so we re seeing more and more people like dylann roof, the author of the charleston massacre in 2015, man who murdered nine black church goers, but who was not affiliated with any hate group, never had discussions with people in the movement, simply read things on the internet that convinced him, as he said before he began to murder people, you re raping our women and taking over. so i think the movement is very large. i think it s growing, and i think, sadly, it s going to continue to grow as this nation essentially goes through a major demographic transformation in the next 20 years or so. following along with what you re saying here, mark, professor anderson, your book which you wrote called white rage, you say the unspoken truth of our racial divide. that fits in with what mark s saying. what is that unspoken truth that we need to know about? that unspoken truth is as
events yesterday, and motivated this young person that has now been charged with murder, and with being investigated for hate crimes. attorney general sessions, who i have not always agreed with, made a stronger statement. i must give him credit, and more specific. as a congressman of the opposition party, how do you respond to the nation s government s response to something like this? i mean, we ve gone through the charleston massacre. now we re seeing a blatant anti-semitic, anti-black rally by hundreds in virginia. and the violence that comes out of that. where are we, and how should government officials of both sides be responding? well, the president has really failed. and this is one of those instances where the president stands alone. many republicans have denounced this violence and have been willing to say it in clear
and if you talk about the boston marathon bombing, 9/11, he cited three attacks on american soil but totally ignoring the fact there is a whole other dynamic to terrorism in the fbi. so he could have said we have terrorism, we have home-grown terrorism, sandy hook, whatever, charleston massacre. we need to deal with this so we re all in it together. he went there and said, muslim countries, you have to drive them out. we re victim to what you essentially are allowing to take place. i think that is going to fall on deaf ears, particularly with the muslim populations. i think that was a very important point, that the muslim world which is not monolithic and not represented by just the leaders of those countries, many of whom aren t even democratically elected, they don t necessarily speak for the
