In words of one syllable (well, almost)  The attacker attacked on the
basis of RACE.  RACE (does NOT) equal POLITICS.  That's NOT politics -
that's RACISM>

Repeat after me and get your mind out of the liberal/conservative
groove - race is not political and anyone playing the race card has
ceased being political.

Race does not recognize dems/repubs or independents or know-nothings.

(though I do find it interesting you equating racism with liberalism,
when, traditionally it (incorrectly) was associated with radical
conservatism.)

I'm going to say it again;  it is NOT political - it IS racist.
