   On Dylann Roof's "Manifesto"   
   By Hadding Scott   
      
   Before Dylann Roof set out to commit the shooting at the Emanuel   
   A.M.E. Church, he set up a very simple web-site called   
   LastRhodesian.com and posted there a manifesto that referred to his   
   intended actions. I think that it is worthwhile to examine Roof's   
   manifesto for some clues about how he ended up doing what he did.   
      
   Roof says that he grew up in the South, having "a small amount of   
   racial awareness, simply because of the numbers of Negroes in this   
   part of the country." Southerners in general probably do have a better   
   sense, compared to White people from other places, about how Blacks   
   behave. This was not a clear White racial consciousness however;   
   rather it was the kind of dissimulating defensiveness promoted by the   
   likes of Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck, with its rhetoric of deflective   
   counter-accusation characterized by Roof as "Blacks are the real   
   racists."   
      
   Roof was shocked out of this weak orientation based on fear of being   
   called "racist" by the drumbeat of anti-White propaganda that began   
   with the absurdly biased reporting on the case of George Zimmerman and   
   Trayvon Martin in 2012 and 2013:   
      
       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. How could the news be blowing up the   
   Trayvon Martin case while hundreds of these black on White murders got   
   ignored?   
      
   Although Roof's main theme was biased media-coverage of Black-on-White   
   crime, this was not mentioned in an article on Roof's manifesto by one   
   of the leading culprits, the New York Times.   
   There is no question that the biased publicity over the alleged murder   
   of Trayvon Martin caused an increase of violence by Blacks against   
   Whites. Two months after the original incident in the case, Darryl   
   Owens called attention to some of the ramifications of the   
   media-coverage in the Orlando Sentinel:   
      
       Let's call it Trayvon Piñata.   
      
       How's it played?   
      
       Simple. Gather at least two or up to 30 players (usually black,   
   but not always). Target some unsuspecting, blameless white person.   
   Confront. Spout some racial pap. Stomp the stuffing out of him in   
   Trayvon's name.   
      
       Rip-roaring fun!   
      
       It's all the rage - these outrageous acts of vengeance born out of   
   misplaced rage.   
      
       Gainesville was the scene earlier this month of two rounds of   
   Trayvon Piñata.   
      
       In the first attack, five to eight black people allegedly pounded   
   a 27-year-old white guy as he walked home, according to the   
   Gainesville Sun. The goons shouted "Trayvon!" before laying into him.   
      
       In the second assault, a crowd reportedly pounced on a white guy   
   who'd chased down a black purse-snatcher and pinned him. Unaware of   
   the circumstances, some began shouting "Trayvon," egging on several   
   group members who stomped the good Samaritan's hands to free his   
   quarry. [Darryl Owens, Orlando Sentinel, 27 April 2012 ]   
      
   The game was not limited to Florida. In Chicago 18-year-old Alton L.   
   Hayes III and a minor accomplice robbed a 19-year-old White man, then   
   gratuitously beat him, telling police later that they did it because   
   of Trayvon Martin and because the man was White (Huffington Post, 26   
   April 2012).   
      
   In Mobile, Alabama, Matthew Owens was beaten nearly to death by a mob   
   of 20 or more Blacks in front of his home. After the attack, one of   
   the Black attackers declared, "Now that's justice for Trayvon!" (New   
   York Daily News, 25 April 2012).   
      
   The mood of vengefulness generated by mass-media during the period   
   following the death of Trayvon Martin was pervasive and palpable, and   
   some influence thereof could be reasonably presumed as a contributing   
   factor in any Black-on-White violence during that period, whether   
   explicitly stated or not.   
      
   In March 2012 in Kansas City, Missouri, one month after the publicity   
   about Trayvon Martin began, a 13-year-old boy returning home from   
   school was doused in gasoline and set on fire by two older Black boys   
   who said: "This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, White   
   boy." (Daily Mail, 4 March 2012).   
      
   John McWhorter, writing in Time about the shooting-death of an   
   Australian college student by a Black male in Oklahoma, says that   
   racially motivated Black-on-White violence like the Kansas City   
   incident is "hardly uncommon":   
      
       So, it's just fake to pretend that the association of young black   
   men with violence comes out of thin air. Young black men murder 14   
   times more than young white men. If the kinds of things I just   
   mentioned were regularly done by whites, it'd be trumpeted as   
   justification for being scared to death of them. [John McWhorter,   
   "Don't Ignore Race in Christopher Lane's Murder," Time, 22 August   
   2013]   
      
   Time of course is about as mainstream and respectable as any monthly   
   news-periodical could be, yet it plainly states that there is an   
   anti-White and pro-Black racial bias in the reporting of violent   
   crime. The real question is not how Dylann Roof came to the same   
   conclusion in the wake of the Martin-Zimmerman case; rather the   
   question is how anyone could have failed to understand it by now.   
      
   In 2014 and 2015 the mass-media seem to have been obsessed with   
   publicizing any possible case of misconduct toward Blacks by police,   
   beginning with the accusations against policeman Darren Wilson in   
   Ferguson, Missouri. It was predictable that there would be retaliatory   
   violence generated by that propaganda as well. The first such incident   
   was the murder of two New York City policemen, Rafael Ramos and   
   Wenjian Liu (neither of them White, but then neither was George   
   Zimmerman), as they sat in their police-vehicle. The fact that the   
   young Black male suspect, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, was motivated by   
   media-hoopla against the police was apparent in his posts on Instagram   
   before the crime:   
      
       Brinsley allegedly posted a photo of a gun with the caption, "I'm   
   putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours, let's take 2 of   
   theirs," officials said. He used the hashtags 'Shootthepolice'   
   'RIPErivGardner (sic)' and 'RIPMikeBrown.' [CBS New York, 20 December   
   2014]   
      
   That was only the first of a number of such scattered incidents of   
   anti-police violence induced by mass-media. The alleged murder of   
   Trayvon Martin, in the accusation's original form, was also supposed   
   to have been a conspiracy of the police.   
      
   For many who become racially conscious, it began with noticing absurd
