The man accused of killing 10 people in a racially motivated mass shooting at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket Saturday had plans to continue his shooting rampage and kill more Black people, authorities said Monday.

Whiteness tells lies about replacement.
About careening towards extinction. About supremacy & entitlement & privilege going the way of the dinosaur. Whiteness lies to itself so much about who is trying to make it invisible — the lie becomes the bloodiest gospel. Becomes the god of persecution it gives praise to by sacrificing anyone born in the skin of sin. Whiteness worships the weapon & propaganda & brotherhood it believes will be its lord and savior — the messiah that calls upon it to go forth into foreign lands and massacre villages. The replacement lie is the prayer chant sputtered in unison with gunfire — is the god of wrath ascending from hell’s fire cursing in a dragon-breathed manifesto. Is the merciless deity created in the image of bloodlust with the sole purpose of making the Black & irreplaceable, a distant memory to those who loved them most…
There is nothing special about Payton Gendron.
He is but a basic-ass white boy longing to be a martyr. A facsimile of other basic-ass white boys that believed they could shoot their way past inferiority complexes. Payton is not an original. Payton is a copycat killer, and that is the dilemma. Payton is the newest Dylan or Kyle or [insert unimpressive white male] who believed whiteness to be a dying act. Who felt his place in the world slipping through his AR trigger finger. His name — only mentioned to contextualize the news of right now. Not because there was anything revolutionary about the way the message boards and the chat spaces whet his appetite for chaos. The only reason Payton’s name is likely to remain in the collective conscious will be to serve as a point of reference the next time a basic-ass white boy masquerades as a vengeful god…
Tucker Carlson is a hate crime cosplaying as a journalist.
As an arbiter of fair and balanced news. Tucker is a nightly dog whistle, corraling canines to the boneyard with every viral rant that tells them their territory is being marked by unfamiliar breeds. Tucker speaks in cyanide as his minions sop up his drivel and digest it as divine law. Tucker is a kill-maker. A puppeteer of lost white boys that scrawl ‘nigger’ on assault rifles and go hunting for the relics of a country they were told they’d inherit. Tucker is a triggerman firing propaganda from a pundit’s pulpit and the Paytons of the world accept his gospel as their assignment to restore God’s country to its rightful order…
But the bigger story is not about hate crime, but about the love lost.
It is about Mother Ruth’s groceries not making it out of the Tops market a day before Sunday dinner, and her husband never being able to say goodbye. It is about ex-officer Aaron who was securing the store and died trying to stop the carnage on aisle everywhere. It is about Elder Katherine who wrote stories for the Buffalo Challenger and will now be featured in the obituary section for daring to live Black in the city she journaled. It is about Grandma Celestine who lived through breast cancer but could not live through a trip to pick up produce or meat or her grandkids’ favorite snacks.
The bigger story is how being Black in Buffalo…or anywhere in this one nation under God is to be within proximity of a crucifixion you couldn’t plan for. It is the story of how making a lil run to the sto’ becomes your final destination. It is the story of not knowing whether the “thoughts and prayers” offered by politicians after the slaughter they fail to legislate against are actually recurring prayers for ethnic cleansing. It is not being the headline until you are the hashtag or are being fitted for your halo.
The following is a list of verified GoFundMe pages dedicated to the Buffalo community impacted by this act of racial terror. Please consider visiting these pages and making a donation.

"Thoughts and prayers" and go-fund-me pages are not enough. Political (social), ritual, economic, educational, cultural, and health manipulators and their billionaire sponsors must be replaced by human leaders. Artificial corporate control is not about "religion." Color is a convenient cover to advance racism, divisiveness, and perpetual war. So-called people of color are the most hated, least organized, less funded, dependent, and vulnerable targets. The goals of the manipulators are mind, body, and soul control of all humans. The ones they cannot control, they will kill.
The best weapons against them are laser-focused social and economic influences. True humans must unite to increase social adhesiveness and reduce global consumerism and dependence upon their global corporate monsters. They are not too big to fail. They are too big to continue to expand. Think globally but act locally in every aspect of life... Politics (social), Rituals, Education, Economics, Culture, Health. PREECHealth.

We forgot to tell the truth about this imbecile being just that. It is also time to disconnect from any sources who fund these morons funding this kind of racist dialogue. Most tv services give Faux News money per subscriber to allow them to fund hate speech. AT&T funds them as well. Spend your money elsewhere. More guns are not the answer because many lack the will to use them. We must stop the miseducation of America before it is too late.
