I'm curious too, which was all I was questioning.

Am I wrong in reading that he did know or care about race stuff until after he heard the "black on white is far more common" narrative? And didn't he then say that inspired him to violence? All I'm asking is, if this is true, then do the authors of his inspiration carry any responsibility?

Maybe this is like music, where the authors are merely entertainers and their message can have multiple meanings. But maybe it's different, maybe this narrative which inspired a hate crime could be considered hate speech.

I see the other side too. If he did this to bring about the Second Coming, I'm sure we wouldn't want to blame every church that preached Revelations.
