For a petty psycho who used deflection all his life to navigate his issues it was easy bait for him to digest the Charleston saga and loosely put in on his issues of being a unemployable loser who just is feeling himself to much.

How can it not be about race, when this Flanagan shooter spent years at his work places complaining all the time about racial issues! He was clearly obsessed with race (see the dailymail for details)... Also, please remember that he did send a 26-page manifesto full of "race-war" references and racial insults... Yet it is not about race

Also, I can quote you word for word (just changing Charleston for Ferguson) and apply it to the Roof shooter:

"For a petty psycho who used deflection all his life to navigate his issues it was easy bait for him to digest the Ferguson saga and loosely put in on his issues of being a unemployable loser who just is feeling himself to much"

Same mental process for Flanagan and Roof : both were losers, unemployed, sexually frustrated and insecure, angry at the current state of race relations, selfish, attention-whoring in the pursuit of their heinous crimes...

Actually it's about mental illness is why it's not about race. Nor is this about sexual orientation, misogyny, or guns.

The guy had a long history of imagined racial and sexual orientation discrimination victimization. The operative word being IMAGINED He brought two lawsuits years apart, filed numerous complaints with the EEOC and management at various jobs and in every case they were dismissed because they were unfounded. The only place there was a discrimination issue going on was inside his fucked up head. That's why it's not about race

Once again, I can apply your rationalization text, to the Roof shooter:

"The guy had a long history of imagined racial victimization (he had his first girlfriend 'taken' from him by a Black man). The only place there was a racial issue about that (cause it was just a Game issue), was inside his fucked up head. That's why it's not about race"

See? If Flanagan was just mentally ill and not racist (in spite of his manifesto and its written, boiling racism), then by the exact same standards, Roof was also mentally ill and not racist (in spite of his manifesto and written, boiling racism)...

Double standards as usual... crazy White racist dude (Roof) goes on a media-whoring rampage, he is the Devil itself, the World will never be the same. But, crazy Black racist dude (Flanagan) goes on a media-whoring rampage, he is just mentally ill and a sad, hurt "Wounds-Collector"...

But anyway, the father and ex-bf of the blonde victim, both agree with you:

Clearly, they both don't want to be dragged in a race thing, and are afraid to talk about the shooter motives.

By the way, I much prefer and totally respect, the way a Black family would have reacted to such a drama (the loss of a dear one) (with more anger and visible pain)...
