Didn't Mr. Roof state he wanted to start a race war? That is a political agenda.

Charleston shooting (click here) suspect Dylann Roof's roommate says the 21-year-old planned the terrorist attack leading up to the massacre which claimed nine lives on at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on Wednesday night.
Dalton Tyler told ABC News that Mr Roof was planning the act of terror for the entire seventh months they’d known each other.
“He was big into segregation and other stuff,” he said. “He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself.”...
There was an entire community that responded to this massacre of some of the more dear members. I never got the impression other than this was a well researched and planned incident.
This church is very significant to the African American community in the USA. This was not a random act. That is want makes this so completely upsetting. Who else? Was his roommate a racist as well and consented to his act. Was there anyone expecting to act after the fact to promote a race War?
I am sure the State Bureau of Investigation in South Carolina will be looking at this for some time. Where did Mr. Roof ever get the idea and permission for a race war?
I don't mean anything by this, but, I did not know race wars occurred after the Civil War. That topic never came up in any history class I was in either high school or university. I don't know where that is discussed, possibly at the university in Africa history and studies of the African American experience.
I did learn about these events/race wars when former governor Perry ran into political trouble do to the name of the ranch his father owned or leased or something. I looked more into it and there is information about specific acts that killed African Americans in large number. The episode I read was about Texas, but, I am sure these events happened in other states.
I do know one of the places the SBI needs to evaluate is Mr. Roof's school experience and his social history. He got ideas from somewhere. He is really young to be carrying such hatred in his heart.
But, these murders were intended to be more than a random act. It was suppose to escalate hate and begin a very murderous period of time. I can't help believe he fully expected the blood thirsty event would take hold and cross the country. His focus for a 21 year old man is chilling.
I think it is important to examine that period in USA history. Not to victimize the southern states, that isn't what this is about, but, to examine a very dark period in our history. It needs sunlight. There isn't anything here that should spell out a fervor for more of the same. This has to be put in it's proper place and bury it as a time when Americans were confused about human rights and the country's economy.
I think the Civil War mattered simply because plantation owners had no idea what they would do if they didn't have slaves and they could not imagine having them as paid employees. As a result of the culture at that time, violence won out and war began. It all has to be in balance and this young man is so very wrong about the greatness of his country. I don't want that culture to continue. It has to end. We need to walk though this.
