Were all of Manson family killings due to racsism?

Almost all of them were not. That is not to say that Manson wasn't a biggot, he was. He hated minorities and Jews. But his crimes were not about race. In Maury Terry's expose on satanic cults, Manson ordered the Tate murders due to drug deals and Manson's anger at Abigail Folger and her boyfriend Wojech Frykowski. The common denomiator was in fact a satanic cult known as The Process. The race war was not the underlying reason for the murders.
