BUFFALO, New York -- President Joe Biden mourned with Buffalo's grieving families on Tuesday, then exhorted the nation to reject what he angrily labeled the poison of white supremacy. He said the nation must"reject the lie" of the racist"replacement theory" espoused by the shooter who killed 10 Black people in Buffalo.
Back at the White House Tuesday evening, Biden laid the blame for the Buffalo incident and others not just on"wackos" who commit hate crimes, but also those who"fill their brains with false ideas." He added:"Now's the time for people of all races, from every background, to speak up as a majority ... and reject white supremacy."
"It's important for him to show up for the families and the community and express his condolences," said Derrick Johnson, the president of the NAACP."But we're more concerned with preventing this from happening in the future." Money is a big problem, too, he said."A lot of money is being made from gun purchases -- who needs an AR-15?"
Before the shooting, Gendron is reported to have posted online a screed overflowing with racism and antisemitism. The writer of the document described himself as a supporter of Dylann Roof, who killed nine Black parishioners at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015, and Brenton Tarrant, who targeted mosques in New Zealand in 2019.
"The country is being stolen from American citizens," he said in August of last year. He repeated that theme a month later, saying that"this policy is called the great replacement, the replacement of legacy Americans with more obedient people from faraway countries."
