Good.

Well, NPR picked it up, so there goes your theory right out the window.We'll see in a few days. I will be surprised if it gets the same airtime as the White guy who shot up the Black Church. This one does not fit the agenda
The shooter was a Sudanese immigrant with legal residency, an thus NOT African-American as originally reported by Fox, so now there's another leap to be made.
You do know that NBC once referred to an "African American European" at the Olympics?
Well this is clearly false.

I have seen some, but not a great deal of coverage. Granted, there could be more than one reason for this. I'm in "wait and see" mode. It will be interesting to see if a motive can be discerned.

Well, it is now being reported that he attended the Church a few years ago. Since him being black apparently is noteworthy to some, sans other information, maybe he shot the church up because he disagreed with the fact that the congregation was mixed racially, and thought that only black people should be worshipping there.
Maybe he didn't approve of some hand-raising.
Retired Sniper Finds Work Picking Off Hand-Raisers At Baptist Church
Depending on the church. I think that if the church has a private preschool area then it is restricted, but I'm not positive on this. I'm sure someone else who DOES know could chime in, and I would appreciate the clarification.I took a look at handgunlaw.us , a lot of church/school confusion but nothing prohibiting church carry.
That's why I work A/V. The soundbooth has the best vantage and you can rest a bipod on the half wall.Any time I go to church, which is not as often as I would like due to work, I am always carrying and going through situations in my head. Trying to find a seat that would work best in my and my family's favor. But, I do happen to know that I am not the only person in my church that carries on a regular basis. That is always refreshing to know as well.
So what are Black Americans supposed to call themselves to denote their ancestry?
Is this "terrorism," or a mass shooting with an intended targeted individual? I'm missing the political motive, and the targeted audience. IMO those elements should be required to call this terrorism.
From what I hear on TV from Kaepernick and his ilk, "victim" is the correct terminology.
