Please don’t spread the name and face of the Charleston shooter, call him a white terrorist because that’s all he is, don’t give him the respect of learning his name or recognizing his face. All he wants is to be famous, now he will be infamous. He only deserves to be known as a white homegrown terrorist and imagined as a monster because that’s what he is. Instead learn the names and faces of the victims, they deserve to be remembered not the monster.
Remember:
Clementa Pinckney
A Democrat state senator who was also the pastor at the Emanuel African Methodist Church.
Cynthia Hurd
A librarian at the Charleston County Public Library. She’d been working there for 31 years and was a manager as St. Andrews Regional Library.
Sharonda Coleman-Singleton
She was a revered and a mother of three, she was also the coach of the track team.
Tywanza Sanders
A recent graduate from Allen University in Columbia. He was recently working as a barber. It is said that he died trying to save one of his family members.
Please, if you hear about more of the victims, add their names and a little about their life.
Go to this link to learn more about these victims. What I posted is only a short summary.
Also if anything like this happens again, do this instead of showing the shooter/terrorist. This is a tragedy and I will do my best to raise awareness, I hope you will too. Thank you.

The most disgusting part for me was the violent treatment of the young Black girl by the white cop. Like someone on my twitter feed mentioned, there are sexually violent undertones to the ordeal and they need to be discussed. There is no justification for any adult male identifying person dragging an underage, bikini clad (not that attire matters but, just go with it for a sec), girl and then forcing his knee into her back, shifting his weight onto her as a means of control. He blamed her for what she was experiencing as she cried hysterically, writhing in pain.
We don’t talk about what lawful brutality looks like targeted at Black women enough. That young girl was nearly naked being forced into submission by a man who had no rhyme or reason to touch her. And all of this occurred while her peers and other adult men stood helpless. Who’s going to be concerned for her wellbeing going forward and how is she supposed to recover from this instance of male physical contact so early in life? How long do we as women of color have to live through the plight of being brown in addition to the thick fog of misogyny obscuring our view?
