Dylann Roof's extraordinary hatred of black people led him to murder nine churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday night. As we are learning in the aftermath of this horrific massacre, black people were not the only minority Roof loathed. According to what writers Henry Krinkle and Emma Quangel
have identified as his manifesto, Roof approvingly described East Asians as "very racist," declared Hispanics to be "our enemies," and went on at length about
how much he despised Jews:
From this point I researched deeper and found out what was happening in Europe. I saw that the same things were happening in England and France, and in all the other Western European countries. Again I found myself in disbelief. 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.
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.
Jews
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.
I dont pretend to understand why jews do what they do. They are enigma.
In the photo at the top of this post, Roof has scratched the code "1488" into the sand. The "14" refers to
the 14-word motto promulgated by white supremacist David Lane, who
once declared: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." Lane died in prison in 2007 while serving a 190-year sentence for murdering Jewish radio host
Alan Berg. Each "8" is a reference to the eighth letter of the alphabet, H; taken together, "HH" is shorthand for "Heil Hitler"
and is often combined with "14."
Despite what some conservatives may wish to believe, Roof was not a lone wolf. By his own admission, he encountered the views he grew to adopt when he went online and researched what others thought, and he came to believe he was part of a movement larger than himself. He spoke in a language of symbols and codes that he knew were widely understood because they reflect a belief system that is widely shared.
Roof himself is a terrible nightmare, but he is also evidence of a much vaster problem that we still don't know how to solve. Yet just as we cannot let denialists pretend that there's no more racism in this country or the world at large, we cannot let them claim anti-Semitism has been defeated either. This is a movement that wants to "take back" the U.S. from African Americans, and the secretive, hard-to-identify Jews who "agitate" and enable them. And right now, Roof is that movement's latest, loudest, and most terrifying voice.
