I’m so sad about the amok in the Charleston church last Wednesday, a white idiot killed 9 black believers in their church. What’s up in this land – Frits, watching from Europe…

A terrible thing to happen. My heart goes out to the families and wider community, and also to all Americans who are shocked and saddened by such racist hatred.

It remains a tragic sorrow that the U.S. Is so plagued with this festering brew of violence and racism. So many disturbed and lonely unschooled people fed a diet of video violence and sensationalism, this is what happens, it seems. Imagine and strive toward a better world, it isn’t hard to do….

a friend from USA wrote to me: “For most of us, flying this banner is tantamount to seeing the Nazi flag flying in Germany.”

O.K. I understand clearly. The flag has lost the innocence. No more joke to show this flag after this massacre…
