YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Red State’s Editor-in-Chief Erick Erickson spent the better part of Thursday arguing that South Carolina is some kind of post-racial utopia that only appears racist because the left is determined to depict it as something it’s not.
In an argument that resembles the one proffered by the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board this morning — in which they argued that institutionalized racism no longer exists in South Carolina — Erickson claimed that because Governor Nikki Haley is of Indian American descent, and because she put “a black man in charge of the congressional district from which the first shots of the Civil War were fired,” the state “has moved on” beyond racism.
Because of this, Erickson joined the chorus of GOP presidential contenders in insisting that Dylann Roof’s motivation for murdering nine parishioners in Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on Wednesday could not have racial. Or if they were, racism wasn’t the only motivating factor, or even the main one, taking backseat to the real problems in America today — mental illness and evil.” *
