In addition to his personal journal, officials took a journal Roof wrote in during his time in Charleston County’s jail in August 2015. The following is my dissection of the above excerpt.

1) Okay, not really about the excerpt, but I see that his first name is spelled with two “n”s.
Also, his middle name is “Storm.” If that doesn’t scream white supremacy, I don’t know what does.
2) He calls his victims “innocent,” which means he knows they did nothing wrong. Yet, his actions and previous writings (journal entries, manifestos) completely contradict this notion.
3) He feels bad for the white children? I don’t feel bad for anybody named “Storm” because with that name, you’re either a neo-Nazi or an X-Men superhero.
4) “Sick country”? Actually, we can agree on that. (Especially if the ACA is repealed and not replaced with something logical. #MASA)
5) Ah, he really lost me with “lower races.”
6) He pities himself? This dude branding himself as the hero America deserves isn’t cool. Especially when he’s not the hero we need right now or ever.
7) A lot of language claiming that he “had to” do what he did. But in his other journal, he admitted to planning and going about it alone.
8) Nobody forced him or coerced him into buying a gun, walking into that church, or pulling the trigger. So, he didn’t “have to” do anything. There’s no such thing as a moral obligation to racism.
9) He mentions “giving up [his] life,” but instead of showing remorse for his actions, he’s hoping they lead to martyrdom. 9) There were reports that he tried to shoot himself in the head at the church, but he ran out of bullets. Talk about being a fucking failure (and that’s one he can’t blame on the Jews)!
10) “A situation that should have never existed.” Roof, of course, is referring to desegregation (or even as far back as the abolishment of slavery) — whereas, segregation (and slavery) should have never existed.
