Since June 21st, there have been at least four mysterious fires at black churches in the South — three of which were likely deliberate. In three cases, law enforcement officers have said that there's evidence that the fire was deliberately set. In one other case, investigators have been unable to determine whether the fire was intentional or not.

Many media reports have referred to fires at "seven churches." But those include two churches that were struck by lightning (one of which was a white church), and another church where the cause of the fire was likely an electrical failure.

Here's what we know about the cases, based on reporting from the Los Angeles Times's Matt Pearce,CNN's Ben Brumfield and Sam Stringer, the Associated Press's Bruce Smith and Meg Kinnard, and local media:

• June 30: Mount Zion AME Church in Greeleyville, South Carolina. The historic black church burned down on June 30. A federal law enforcement official told the AP that the fire wasn't intentionally set, and the FBI currently thinks it was probably caused by a lightning strike.
• June 26: Glover Grove Baptist Church in Warrenville, South Carolina. The mostly black church burned down on June 26. Investigators don't know if it was intentional or an accident, but they "observed no element of criminal intent." The fire has officially been classified as "undetermined" because investigators couldn't rule out the possibility of an accident.
• June 26: Greater Miracle Apostolic Holiness Church in Tallahassee, Florida. The mostly black church was destroyed by a fire on June 26. It was likely set off by an electrical short, so it's not believed to be arson or a hate crime.
• June 24: Briar Creek Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. The predominantly black church was burned down on June 24. Investigators are treating the case as arson, but there's no evidence it was a hate crime.
• June 23: God’s Power Church of Christ in Macon, Georgia. The mostly black church burned down on June 23. The fire is being investigated as an arson, but local and federal law enforcement agents have said there's no evidence yet of a hate crime.
• June 23: Fruitland Presbyterian Church in Gibson County, Tennessee. This is a mostly white church, and it was struck by lightning on June 23. But it's been widely included in reports of church fires.
• June 21: College Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. Officials said that someone on June 21 intentionally set fire to a church-owned van and straw near the mostly black church, but the church itself wasn't burned. Investigators have confirmed that the fire was a case of arson. A spokesman for the Knoxville Police Department told local news station WATE that it was being investigated as an act of vandalism rather than a hate crime, because the suspect didn't leave any message or indication of the reason for the crime.

That's a good one.

The funny thing is, if a black man went and killed 9 white people in a church and then 8 predominately white churches caught fire, do you think the media would say the fires were mostly accidental? I'd be scared to death to be back on the mainland...
