One could easily ask why is it so important to others that it NOT be?
Frankly I'm amazed that this particular debate is going on page after page.
Like...a bunch of people are dead. Early appearances are that the guy may have had racist motivations. Is he definitely racist? I dunno, but it seems like it right now anyway. Denying that seems pretty obtuse to me.

Possibly, just don't see how it could take anything away from this attack.
The suspect in the shooting, 21-year-old Dylann Storm Roof, is currently in custody and investigators are looking into whether racial hatred was a motivation for the attack. In his statement, Carson acknowledges that “racial based hate” is a serious problem, but he suggests that ideological intolerance is a bigger one.
“The left hates the right. The right hates the left. This attitude is poison.”
“As a brain surgeon I can assure you that all of our brains look the same, no matter what our skin color or party affiliation.” Ben Carson
Study: Conservatives have larger “fear center”
University College London researchers say brains of the right-leaning have big amygdala, small anterior cingulate
This one-two punch could be responsible for many of the anecdotal claims that conservatives “think differently” from others.

Adam Lanza all over again, He probably was a conspiracy theorist that the Governments race war agenda got to. I bet he had a handler.

I get your point. I really do. I just don't see any reason to ignore that there is "likely" a race based element to the attack.
That won't hold up in court, no. But we don't have to ignore the angle either.

Personally, he is a coward, seeking his 15 minutes of fame, all at the expense of 9 people who did nothing to deserve this.

Give a coward a gun and his bravery jumps ten fold.

Johnson said the survivor told her the gunman, addressing her son, said, "You all rape women and you're taking over our country."
