9. Charleston Church Shooting
As we mentioned earlier, Dylann Roof is a violent terrorist who was able to get away with his life after opening fire in a church in Charleston South Carolina. Dylann is a self-proclaimed white supremacist who admitted he targeted the church because of the demographic of the people who attended. Innocent lives were lost inside a sacred place all because they were black lives. Innocent unarmed African Americans are murdered constantly while a violent criminal like this is spared his life even though all evidence points towards him being an absolutely racist monster. The worst part? The cops actually bought him Burger King after the incident. The man deserves a slow and painful death after the horrific trauma that he caused, and yet people will still fail to see any problem with race in this situation.
8. People Getting Upset About Banning The Confederate Flag
There was a time in history when people thought it was acceptable to own other people and force them to work for no pay and horrible conditions. At one point, people realized this was messed up and decided to do something about it. Well, 11 states full of people in our country disagreed and wanted to keep their slaves, so they decided to secede and form the Confederate States of America. In order to show they were Confederates, people would use the Confederate flag. Even though they lost the civil war and slavery is not only illegal but is recognized as the most horrible thing to ever happen to our country, people still feel as though it’s OK to have Confederate flags and even get offended by the mere idea that they might not be allowed to use it anymore. Some argue that it’s a symbol of rebellion, but rebellion against what? Not being racist?
