A terrorist Act?

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, as of September 25, 2013, was called, “One of the most tragic acts of U.S. terrorism”. (Workers World) An October 4, 2014 publication of Financial Juneteenth, entitled an article relating to the Tulsa race riot of 1924, as “April V. Taylor: the terroristic destruction of Black Wall Street”. (Financial Juneteenth).

Today politicians and civilians are quick to recognize the mass shootings at Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, as well as the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building as acts of terrorism. Is this fact concerning the shooting at Emmanuel AME Church being overlooked because the victims were Black? If so, this further exposes the hypocrisy of the U.S. How can this country so self-righteously condemn and level sanctions against other countries for violating Human Rights when it is the biggest perpetrator of this crime? The U.S. needs to clean up its own backyard. Every empire that embraced greed, violence, and oppression and rejected moral values collapsed. History has a way of repeating itself. Whatsoever a nation sows that shall it reap.
