It appears you may have inadvertently compared apples to oranges instead of comparing apples to apples. Considering Dylann Roof said, specifically, that he did the demonic act which he did because he wanted to start a Race War.
And I'm prrrrretty sure that we both can clearly see how Mateen's recent social, history verifies that his deep psychological troubles were NOT along the lines of desiring to start any type of LGBTQ vs heterosexual war.
Moreover, Dylann Roof's form of hate hath never subsided over the past 150 years and has actually increased on a national level since Obama beat McCain/spooked us status quo racists into thinking negroes were about to take over the USA. Whereas the savage level of hatred shown toward the LGBT community is a new phenomena escorted in via dissent. Yes, resistance toward Obama Admin. aiding Pop Culture with putting the LGBT community in charge of the American society.

Whats the difference between a race war and an ideological war? Both are arbitrary divisions of people into subgroups.
If you think racism is as bad as it was 150 years ago then youre terribly ignorant. There arent segregated bathrooms, blacks are allowed to go to school with white children and lynchings are down just a wee bit from that time period.
The notion that obama was an instigator of some resurgence of racism is a really obvious kafka-trap. His election either spooked the racists or his non election was because of racists not wanting a black man. Stating it the way you have leaves no room for discussion of facts and assessment of a real status quo.
