There’s no real need to say much more than what’s in this blog about the Charleston, S.C., carnage.<\/p>\n

Jim Mitchell writes for the Dallas Morning News and he devoted the following post to answering someone who accused him of “race-baiting.”<\/p>\n

Mitchell is on-point in telling the letter writer that he\/she is trying to deflect responsibility of what happened in Charleston by saying it was allegedly committed by a “deranged white man.”<\/p>\n

Nine people are dead. They are victims of a mass murderer. He concludes: “Let\u2019s stop playing games of racial original sins, and recognize that racial tensions are denying this country of the opportunity to reach new heights for all Americans. That\u2019s not race-baiting. That\u2019s asking for justice and fairness, nothing more and nothing less.”<\/p>\n

Now, let us continue to pray for our country and for the souls of those who were lost.<\/p>\n\n
