Racist manifesto purportedly linked to Charleston suspect surfaces online

Xinhua, June 21, 2015 Adjust font size:

A website has surfaced with a racist manifesto purportedly written by the white gunman Dylann Roof, explaining why he allegedly targeted Charleston, South Carolina, in Wednesday's massacre that killed nine African- American churchgoers.

"I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country," read part of the manifesto posted on the website surfaced Saturday, which also contained a number of photographs that appear to show Roof, the suspect in Wednesday's Charleston African-American church carnage, holding a Confederate flag and burning a U.S. flag. "Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me."

The creator of the website or the authenticity of the photos could not confirmed immediately. Endite
