I wish the editor had not printed your comment.   I'm not going to disagree that the murders contained a strong stink of racism by the shooters.   But you're complete failure to acknowledge the frustration and anger found in black communities just makes matters worse.   I don't know if the shooters were going for terrorism, but they did a fine job of elevating the fear and anger.   And like the ISIS terrorist, they profit from backlash racism that TLT has slopped onto the public plate.  Terror only wins when authority and structure breakdown completely

Black/white, Shiite/Sunni, Christian/Muslim, Republican/Democrat.    All are childish, simplistic, right/wrong arguments that do nothing to elevate the skills for handling conflict in a civilized nation.
