Insightful tweet reactions to the Charleston Shooting

An unidentified white gunman shot and killed nine black people during a Bible study in Charleston, South Carolina, Wednesday night.  As Twitter reactions rolled in, many were outraged at the lack of media coverage, pointing to the shooter being white and the victims being black, while others didn’t hesitate to define the act as “terrorism.” One especially poignant tweet compared it to a hypothetical of a non-white shooter.
