Showing Original Post only (View all)A Conservative Website Literally Turned Dylann Roof Into The Murdering Racist He Is Today [View all]

In his own words, Roof wrote in his manifesto that he hadnt grown up in a racist household, nor were his friends particularly racist. The white kids and black kids at his school would make racial jokes at each other, and jokes were jokes.
Then the killing of Trayvon Martin dominated the news cycle, and caught Roofs attention:
The event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon Martin case. I kept hearing and seeing his name, and eventually I decided to look him up. I read the Wikipedia article and right away I was unable to understand what the big deal was. It was obvious that Zimmerman was in the right. But more importantly this prompted me to type in the words black on White crime into Google, and I have never been the same since that day. The first website I came to was the Council of Conservative Citizens. There were pages upon pages of these brutal black on White murders. I was in disbelief. At this moment I realized that something was very wrong.
Dr. Sam Francis founded the CCC in 1985, and called it The countrys most effective conservative activist group. He was also a syndicated writer for the Washington Times.
.......................
The Council of Conservative Citizens, supports, among other things:
That the United States is a Christian country.
That the people of the United States are part of the European people, no one else.
Cultural, national and racial integrity A.K.A. xenophobia.
States Rights, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, and the Bill of Rights.
That the traditional family is the only worthy family no same sex marriage, interracial marriage, or any homosexual tendencies in society to be accepted under law.
Women and gays should not serve in the military
After researching deeper, Roof says he became racially aware:
As an American we are taught to accept living in the melting pot, and black and other minorities have just as much right to be here as we do, since we are all immigrants. But Europe is the homeland of White people, and in many ways the situation is even worse there. From here I found out about the Jewish problem and other issues facing our race, and I can say today that I am completely racially aware.

Notable, typing Council of Conservative Citizens into Google right now turns up a CofCC website, which is so busy that only the Google cache of the website is alive. The Council of Conservative Citizens calls itself a conservative activist group. Most of the pages on the Council of Conservative Citizens website are returning a 404 error as of this writing.
