A 2,400-word manifesto from accused Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof has surfaced online, and the contents are both disgusting and chilling, clearly laying out the workings of this young man’s perverted mind. Photos taken prior to the massacre showing Roof with a gun and Confederate flag have also been made public.
The manifesto was discovered by two Twitter users, identified as?@HenryKrinkle?and?@EMQuangel. In it, Roof says his racist feelings were shaped, at least in part, by the Trayvon Martin case, in which George Zimmerman, the man accused of shooting Martin, was alleged to have done so for racially-motivated reasons. Roof writes:
“The event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon Martin case. Black people are racially aware almost from birth, but White people on average dont (sic) think about race in their daily lives. And this is our problem. We need to and have to.”?
Roof also subdivides sections of the manifesto and uses headlines such as “Blacks,” “Hispanics,” and “Jews.” Please note that in the portions you are about to read, all spelling, punctuation, or grammar errors are Roof’s and have been left as they appear. Also, be warned that the language used is extremely hateful?and graphic?and may not be suitable for all readers.
In the section on blacks, Roof wrote:
“Niggers are stupid and violent. At the same time they have the capacity to be very slick. Black people view everything through a racial lense. Thats what racial awareness is, its viewing everything that happens through a racial lense. They are always thinking about the fact that they are black. This is part of the reason they get offended so easily, and think that some thing are intended to be racist towards them, even when a White person wouldnt be thinking about race. The other reason is the Jewish agitation of the black race.”
Later, when Roof addresses his feelings on Hispanics, he wrote this:
“Hispanics are obviously a huge problem for Americans. But there are good hispanics and bad hispanics. I remember while watching hispanic television stations, the shows and even the commercials were more White than our own. They have respect for White beauty, and a good portion of hispanics are White. It is a well known fact that White hispanics make up the elite of most hispanics countries. There is good White blood worht saving in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and even Brasil.?But they are still our enemies.”
And like any ignorant member of the Ku Klux Klan or neo-Nazi movement you encounter, Roof also has disparaging things to say about those of the Jewish faith:
“Unlike many White naitonalists, I am of the opinion that the majority of American and European jews are White. In my opinion the issues with jews is not their blood, but their identity. I think that if we could somehow destroy the jewish identity, then they wouldnt cause much of a problem. The problem is that Jews look White, and in many cases are White, yet they see themselves as minorities. Just like niggers, most jews are always thinking about the fact that they are jewish. The other issue is that they network. If we could somehow turn every jew blue for 24 hours, I think there would be a mass awakening, because people would be able to see plainly what is going on.”
At the end of his rambling missive of pure hatred, Roof wrote:
“I have no choice. I am not in the position to, alone, go into the ghetto and fight. I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country. We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything but talking on the internet. Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.
Unfortunately at the time of writing I am in a great hurry and some of my best thoughts, actually many of them have been to be left out and lost forever. But I believe enough great White minds are out there already.
Please forgive any typos, I didnt have time to check it.”
He isn’t sorry for what he’s about to do, but he’s sorry for the typos in his screed. Clearly, this young man was a bomb just waiting to go off.
