There you go. Fixed. Hopefully we can recognize and identify imaginary "injustice collection" right here when it pops up.

Didn't say it's right. I find it weird that you find it weird since you sure talk about it a lot.

Just highlighting how this incident impacts the community. Roof did the same thing, had a higher body count, and yet no one was saying how hard it would make it for gun owners.

I guess since Roof was treated as an isolated case then all those flags can go back up

You make it sound like they're gone. Because of that, folks are running around waving them more often.

I read that they took a lot of them down. You saying that didn't happen?

Off federal buildings.

Personally, I think it was stupid. The flag isn't the root cause of the shooting.

Wasn't talking about that. Was talking about communities being held responsible, right or wrong, for the actions of those who are perceived to represent them.

You claimed that in one incident that was true, in the other incident it was false, on no basis but race.

Your claim is exampled as imaginary race-based injustice. Though unjust, it happens no matter the group or community. Please stop pretending that Dylan Roof was treated as a "stand-alone case". It wasn't.

Which did I claim was true or false? Flags came down because of Roof. I don't think that helped anything. The root cause of the incident was racism, not the flag. Had it not been flown, this incident would have still gone down.

The White community wasn't held responsible for Roof.

unless you're one of the dudes that's been driving his monster truck around here with confederate flags flying in the back, no.
