Biden condemns ‘evil’ of white supremacy after mass shooting

Al Jazeera  

Ten Black people were killed at a market in Buffalo, New York, by a white teenager espousing racist theories. President Joe Biden condemned the “poison” of white supremacy in the “body politic” in the United States after a gunman killed 10 people at a market in a majority Black neighbourhood of Buffalo, New York, on Saturday. Now’s the time for the people of all races, from every background, to speak up as a majority of Americans and reject white supremacy.” Biden’s remarks were a response to the actions of Payton Gendron, an 18-year-old white male, who police say travelled 320 kilometres from his hometown in rural New York to kill Black people in Buffalo, the state’s second-largest city. We can’t allow them to distort America,” Biden said, calling the racism that motivated Saturday’s mass shooting “evil”. The nation must “reject the lie” of the racist “replacement theory” espoused by people like the Buffalo market shooter, Biden said.
