Who can forget Susan Smith white woman who drowned her children and then blamed it on a black man?  And, now, Dylann Roof.

Roof now in custody has been reported to have confessed to the killing of nine people.  Fox News and Christian Zealots can try and twist the shooters motivation all they want, but sources close to the story claim Roof stated his reason for committing this crime was simply because of the color of their skin.
