Today has been interesting, people genuinely wondering why somebody with a 9th grade education created such a shitty web page using only ASCII text and a zip file. Then wondering how he managed to take self timed photos like that’s some kind of rocket science. Then switching back and being amazed that he was able to write down his hatred lucidly at all, like he didn’t just crib all those ideas form other hate sites.

I have no idea where this impetus to view Roof’s manifesto as a hoax comes from, but it’s weird.

Because too much of that manifesto is shit they’ve found themselves saying at one time or another. Like suggesting that what we’ve told about slavery are “myth and lies,” using the statistics about how many people owned slaves or testimonials about “happy slaves” to argue that slavery wasn’t all that bad.
