Greeleyville African-American church seventh burned across South in wake of Emanuel shooting

Flames engulfed a prominent African-American church Tuesday night that was already destroyed once by a blaze ignited by the KKK in 1995.

Mount Zion AME Church is the seventh black church to burn across the South in the wake of the killing of nine worshipers at Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church and Gov. Nikki Haley’s subsequent call to bring down the Confederate flag.

State Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel said several agents responded to the fire and that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and other federal agencies were notified. The cause was not immediately known Tuesday night. (...)

Apology(?) accepted, I guess.

At this point, I no longer care. It's off the front page of the topic, and I no longer have to mute it. Once upon a time, I might have cared to try and figure out what was going on, but now, with the RP site, new problems seem to arise daily, affecting some but not others. This might be a case of that.

Investigators Probe Fires At 6 Black Churches In 5 Southern States : NPR

(...) Richard Cohen is the president of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and he says the recent burnings of black churches throughout the South are "very, very suspicious."

"Black churches have long been the focus of civil rights activity," Cohen told NPR. "And for this reason they've been targeted historically."

There was a string of them in the '50s and the '60s, during the civil rights movement. Perhaps the most notorious was the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., on Sept. 15, 1963, which killed four young black girls.

A wave of church burnings swept the nation again in the '90s, prompting then-President Bill Clinton to sign the Church Arson Prevention Act, a law that increased jail time for people who burn churches.

As to this recent wave of church burnings, Cohen said, "It's not unreasonable to suspect that what we're seeing < now > is a backlash to the taking down of the Confederate flag, the determination of our country to face its racial problems." (...)

Me neither.  I never had a problem with it.

I have seen the arguments stating that the Confederate flag is not racist and the Civil War was not fought over slavery crawl back out of the woodwork lately.  Bottom line is that to even introduce such an argument is missing the point and is at the very least tone deaf and at worst racist in it of itself.  Whenever I see this, this is the flag that goes up in my mind:

I don't know why you're having a problem. The html code in the embed is not set for autoplay:

 value="autoPlay=false"

Is anyone else having this issue? 

It's not autoplaying in either Chrome or IE for me.
