150? I think one could say the US race war started about 400 yrs ago when the first slaves came over. It's just that the first 350 years were one-sided.
You could read that as FOG saying the Americans should have just kept them as slaves.

the rise in "black on white" crime lately
Fact or fiction?

I'm surprised that it took someone this long to hit back.
Regardless of what you meant to say here, that's just an awful comment.

I think quite a few of of you are off the mark with talk of a race war. No country on the planet is as racially diverse as the U.S. African Americans make up 13.2% of the population. Yet they have a representative in the highest office one can hold. They are represented in the supreme court, and every level of every branch of government. What other country on the planet can say the same? No one else is even close. I think the majority of the discord between the races seems to stem from white cops killing blacks. In the past few years (with the exception being the Treyvon Martin case ) almost every flare up has been a white cop killing a black person. Some of it is justified: Mike Brown. Some of it is not: Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, etc.
This dipshit in Charleston S.C. does not represent anyone but himself. He does not represent any white people that I know. He does not represent any Christians , or any other members of any other religious faith that I know. He is an evil, disturbed, twisted, young man. Who can sit for over an hour at a religious service of any faith, and then set out to murder the people present at said service but an extremely disturbed or evil individual.? I would prefer that this individual be mentally disturbed as the shooters in Arizona and Colorado appear to be. So far from what little info I have received from this case, I have to go with evil. Pure and simple evil. I realize that religion is not in vogue on this site, however I would ask that every religious member of this site (regardless of faith), pray for the family members of these poor souls in Charleston.

One would think that after Gabby Giffords, the Aurora movie theatre, and Sandy Hook that giving a gun as a present to your dead-eyed autistic shitbag of a son wouldn't be the smartest thing to do but apparently it's too difficult a lesson for some twats to ever learn.
This shooter's closest peers in violence, the kids joining ISIS at age 20-21 and killing far more than nine people per terrorist attack, are almost certainly not autistic. There's quite a difference between mental illness and radicalization.

Why is it so awful? Every sane person knew there would be a backlash.

Charleston church gunman should face death penalty, governor says
Well, finally a sensible solution. Instead of all this progtard wailing about banning guns so people can't defend themselves, the death penalty is sure to prevent future massacres like this. Because the people that do the shooting are totally rational, make the calculation that life in jail is OK, but the death penalty, no way. Too bad they don't have a way of reviving the shooters that kill themselves after their spree, so they can get the death penalty too.

Why shouldn't he face the death penalty? He committed an act of Domestic Terrorism, FUCK HIM!

King Crimson was extant in '95? I thought they turned into ELO long before then.

They're on tour right now. I might go and see them in Scotland in September. They're in Vancouver in November.

inevitable race war that started 150 years ago.

You could read that as FOG saying the Americans should have just kept them as slaves.
FOG has never said any such thing but it is notable that Lincoln wanted the blacks sent back to Africa or perhaps Central America. A recent release of his letters from the US National Archives speaks to that Lincoln would have removed all of the blacks from the USA in his second term...had he lived.
It's easier for the Left to blame guns and the Right to counter those arguments instead of addressing the bigger issue. While it's unclear if this played a role into Dylann Roof committing an act of Domestic Terrorism it's still an issue all sides CHOOSE to ignore.
