Black Lives Matter
9/11 Happens To Us Everyday
Reeling in the aftermath of another anti-Black terrorist attack
More often than not, history provides that anti-Black racial terrorism is preceded by acts of maintaining white supremacist notions that a Great replacement was threatening the existence of their race.
The Great Replacement is a racist ideology that has helped inform white supremacist beliefs and give grounds for their slander, discrimination, and vicious attacks; — an ill-conceived falsehood, perpetuated to convince us that people of color are replacing them.
Fears of a supposed ‘Great Replacement’ have fueled several acts of racial terrorism from history to the present. Anti-Black terrorism has become America’s new normal.
And the time is severely past due for us to call a thing a thing.
On May 14th, 2022, a mass terrorist shooting occurred at the Tops Friendly Supermarket in Buffalo, New York. Ten people were killed, while three others were injured. 11 of the 13 victims were African-American, and two were white. The shooter, identified as 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron, live streamed the attack on the Twitch platform and described himself as a white supremacist in an alleged 180-page manifesto.
