Anonymous responded to the Westboro Baptist Church’s plan to picket the funerals of the Charleston shooting victims by launching an operation aimed at shutting down the hate group.
The Charleston massacre surprised some around the world who thought an African American President meant the nation’s days of racism were history
Fox News has not uttered the words domestic terrorism in relation to the Charleston shooting, but the Department of Justice is investigating the incident as both a hate crime and an act of terrorism.
“This time we have to find answers together. I pledge to you, I will work with you—those of you who are local officials, those of you who are thinking hard about your own communities. Let’s unite in partnership, not just to talk, but to act.”
What I don’t understand, however, is why the President, in his comments on Thursday morning, one day after the massacre, didn’t spend more time addressing the glaringly apparent racial aspects of this event that have already been openly acknowledged by authorities.
The media’s attempt to deny the discussion about hate being directed at black people jumped the shark today when a CNN anchor Chris Cuomo (who used to be co-anchor for ABC’s 20/20) tweeted that we can’t be sure the shooter and mass murderer is white. He could be in disguise.
