There. You made the point. Most whites wouldn't do that. Most blacks wouldn't loot a CVS. Can we all start judging people on what they actually do?

But using their most visibly recognizable trait is so much easier than understanding the nuanced effects that race, socioeconomics, and history plays in peoples actions and positions in life.

He's a terrorist thug, and should rot, right next to the Malvo kid.

I can't help but find the Gold's Gym t-shirt is mildly entertaining given the circumstances.

Is there evidence that he was bipolar, autistic, manic depressive? Why are we assuming he is mentally ill?

The dude walked into a church, sat down with people for an hour, and then commenced to murdering them. Clearly, the dude is not right in the head.

That isn't the same as having a mental illness.

Maybe not by the medical definition as the dude may very well just an an a$$hole. However, I still contend that anyone that did what he did is not right in the head. Having said that, I hope you are right so this ahole doesn't get off on some stupid insanity plea.

That said, he was a racist and racism should be considered a mental condition in my opinion.

It's not a mental condition.

At the same time, there are many racists in this country who wouldn't even think about doing something like this (not that they aren't scumbags).

Sane people don't shoot up churches. Just look at the guy. There's something wrong with him. Racist? Absolutely. Mentally ill? Assuredly.

Nope.

Terrorism has to do with intent alone... like racism

It's not a mental condition but it should be. Anyone who thinks they are better simply because of the color of their skin is mental in my book.

That doesn't make it a mental condition.

Such viewpoints are acquired, not inherent.

I hate the New York Yankees. I wish the team didn't exist. That doesn't mean I have a mental condition. I simply hate them because I am an envious, jealous, Jeffrey Maier-hating Oriole fan.

I'm not following this in the media, but I absolutely believe that Roof is a terrorist, and he committed an act of terrorism.

I agree, I watched when it was first reported. I opted out when all the news changed to people pushing personal agendas, etc.
