rough to face the death penalty if convicted. he was arrested thursday night 200 miles away in north carolina and quickly flown back to charleston. in the weeks before the shooting, friends a he complained that black people were taking over the world and that he wanted to start a race war. but after spending one hour in the bible class wednesday he almost did not open fire because everyone was so nice to him. one member of the congregation killed was mrs. singleton. her family gathered to pay her respects. >> the best mom i could've asked for. honestly, it is going to be tough, but i know we will get through it as a family. >> as the nation digests yet another case of gun violence, a vigil in the memory of the dead is being held at the church this friday evening. >> we speak to an associate

professor of religion and africana studies at the university of pennsylvania from washington. thank you for joining us on "france 24." this church in question had already been burned to the ground once 200 years ago. here we are again and people must be asking what progress has been made during the last two centuries? >> i'm not sure if you asked african-americans -- we would say not enough progress has been made. it is really disheartening to see what has happened at emmanuel ame. that church as the stored history as the first ame church in the south. black people could not gather to worship. they did not want black people congregating. to be at a bible study wednesday night, which is a given right of anyone in this country in particular, and to be shot by a young white man, is just despicable. >> we have been talking about

your piece in "the washington post" and it has generated a lot of discussion online. tell us with essence of your article is, how these killings are being labeled that the media is too quick to turn them as a hate crime. you say act of terror. could you explain your argument for us? >> when we have shootings in this country, usually the killers are branded as mentally ill and all of that. i am not disputing mental illness. when i am disputing in the way the racialized tone of how we talk about white perpetrators and shooters and criminals in this country vis-a-vis black people, brown people, people of other ethnicities outside of whiteness. went to mere rice by the cleveland police, he was not called a man -- he was called but he is a 12-year-old boy. dylann roof was treated with so

much respect, he had a bullet-proof vest on him, in the last week or two, in mckinney, texas, a girl in a bathing suit was set upon by a police officer. is this not terror for black people in this country? it has been over 200 years of terror here because of racial inequality and racial violence. >> one of the point you make in your article, you talk about racial hatred and white supremacy which continues to pervade our society. help us understand, from the side of the atlantic, is that a feeling that you think really does apply across the board in the united states, or are we just talking about pockets? >> think about this for a minute. this will help you understand. in the state of south carolina, a confederate flag, a flag that meant that they seceded from the union, still flies over the state capital. the judge said in the court that

we need to feel sorry for dylann roof's family. i submit his family is probably the ones that talking this racial violence and talking to hate black people. we have a television network fox news, which spews racist statements 24/7. this is not in pockets. people like to think that this is a southern thing but we have what supremacists all over the nation. the uptick in violence and hate crimes has increased since president obama took office in 2008. it is about time we had more than just a conversation and took action. >> we have been talking a lot about this here in europe, months number of racial tensions in the united states. we look from disbelief on the side of the atlantic because it does not seem to be the case at all here in europe. is there a sense in the u.s. that this latest tragedy comedy series of tragedies, could change something? >> i hope so.

i think the momentum is different now because people are connected more by facebook, twitter, other means of social media. people are taking pictures of police violence. now we know and are able to quantify these factors. before hand we knew there was racism in this country, but the epidemic and the uptake of this right now tells me that we are at a tipping point and something has to give. it is time for those who feel as though they have lost america or want to take back america realized that it is a country for all of us, not just for white people, and they have to change with the changing demographics and religious themes in the united states. >> thank you very much. let's move on to some other world news. the clock is ticking, there are just under two weeks left to avert a greek default. the cash-strapped country has until then to make a payment of 1.5 billion euros to the imf.

500,000 euros to 700,000 euros in secret places at home. people will not divulge where because they are worried of what could happen if no deal is struck in the coming days. the memories of cyprus and the capital control, where people could not withdraw money more money from atms, are still visible here. they want to be sure they have enough money to survive any such incident. as one of the people i was talking to was saying to me, i would not want to fight over any milk at the supermarket, so other people have stocked up on food and other supplies. what we are hearing is that the greeks have withdrawn 1.2 billion euros just today from their banks 900 million euros yesterday as well. that has forced the european central bank to pump some money from its emergency liquidity

that paid off. the far right people danish party has been around for 25 years but in thursday's general election it was there hard line on immigration in europe that helped push them into the spotlight. as the leading party of the right with surprise win of over 20% of the vote. >> thank you. i feel like i will wake up from the stream at any minute. it is real what has happened for the people's party. >> propelled by terrorist shootings and a surge of asylum-seekers, immigration became a key issue in the campaign. the center-right opposition blamed the opposition for allowing 65,000 immigrants into denmark, while she campaigned hard that immigrants must work. she even said denmark was not a multiethnic society. a hard swing to the right that may have alienated her

supporters and denmark immigrant population. some 9% of danes were born abroad. according to some it was a fight to the bottom on integration that benefited the populist party. >> the people's party has a strong issue. they are just kind of waiting for the earth to bring it up. they say look at us, you know what we stand for. many people will support that view. >> the far right party will not have to decide whether to join the incoming center-right coalition or to use her influence from the sideline. political maneuvering that has proved successful in the past. >> several days of diplomatic efforts ending three months of deadly flooding in yemen appear to have yielded no results. un-sponsored peace talks in geneva between yemeni officials and 50 fighters wrapped up today. for now no rounds of talks are scheduled. the human foreign minister in exile has expressed his
