Miama Herald columnist thinks Dylann Roof doesn't look white

Here's a picture of him, for reference:



http://www.liberalamerica.org/2015/06/20/miami-herald-columnist-charleston-shooter-doesnt-look-white/

Do you see what Delgado is trying to do? She, like so many on the right, thinks that if she can call into question Roof’s race, then it will partially obfuscate the fact that the crime was one of race, was a terrorist incident against black people, and allow her to cling to the belief that we live in a post-racial America where everyone is equal.

In other words, she wants to dump a big pile of bullcrap into the social media ether and try to pretend that nothing is as it seems. She wants to join the Fox News ninnies in their attempt to paint Dylann Roof’s actions as anti-Christian instead of anti-black.

I have one word to describe A.J. Delgado: Disgusting!

as far as I know. Roof isn't the one making the claim.

On a FB newsfeed where someone took a screen shot of a conversation on Twitter(?) that Roof doesn't look white.

Real crazy stuff.

That's really scraping the bottom of the barrel in an amazingly lame attempt to make this look like anything other than a race-based hate crime.

to her rescue. Malkin's website started a racist hash tag on the day after the Charleston shooting telling an activist from Black Lives Matter to "go home".

Is Delgado sure they're not related?

Maybe they're both black?

OTOH, Delgado's last name starts with a D. Maybe she's related to Rachel Dolezal?

Or maybe she's the Dolezal parents REAL DAUGHTER!

The mystery deepens . . . .

so all the talking points were destroyed. Thanks for the great photos Dylann Roof and the manifesto.
The right wing had to STFU after all the evidence.

This has only just begun.
