Judge calls out white supremacist roots of Buffalo massacre

This hateful act and other similar hateful acts across the country motivated by white supremacy and replacement theory are a reckoning for us as a nation. The ugly truth is that our nation was founded and built in part on white supremacy. However white supremacy is not inevitable or unstoppable. It has been carefully cultivated and nurtured by individuals and the government for centuries. This is the history that we have all inherited. It has been passed down from generation to generation. We must acknowledge that history.

See that history for what it is. Recognize it and learn from it or we are doomed to repeat it. Let ours be the generation to put a stop to it. We can do better. We must do better. Our own humanity requires it. These are hard and challenging times.

Our characters are being tested. The future of our nation is at stake. Are we up to the challenge? I believe that we are. In the words of poet laureate Amanda Gorman there is always light. If only we are brave enough to see it. If only we are brave enough to be it.
