So not a hate crime?

I posted to make people understand how a black on white crime is initially viewed in the media and in the current White house. If the situation was reversed and it were four whites doing this to a black guy, it would be condemned immediately by all possible sources. There would also be violent protests all over the country, demanding, accusing, looting and breaking.

...

Maybe because of the tradition of racism in the US? It is not very usual for either 4 white, or 4 black people to kidnap a person and torture them on live video. But it is too common that people over react, to any horrific crime and rush to judgement. So, the police did what they always should do, charge them with what is obvious, collect the criminal evidence and let the DA make the determination on hate crime based on the evidence.

But, I dont recall any riots due to Dylann Roof's henious crime.
