I don't think this is really about race at all.

110. Let me just say this:

I live where people are racist. Racism is so embedded in our culture here that you just can't get away from it. It's both black and white. Even people that hate the fact that they have a problem with racism know that it's a problem. We all know it exists.

We all live together. We work together, we go to school together, we shop at the same places. We get along. And most of the people here - both black and white - are church goers. No one would condone something so awful as this.

And the idea that someone would actually go into a church and just mow people down would be abhorrent to everyone here.

Even the most racist die hards like the KKK or the skinheads would mot do something like this. They have meetings and say stupid stuff and cause as much trouble as possible but they would not do something like this.

It's an abomination. Only a monster would do something like this.
