'A vocal minority in our country are demanding not gun bans but book bans, trying to suppress the teaching of our country's deep-seated, systemic racism.'
Ten people were slaughtered in Buffalo last Saturday, killed at a supermarket in the heart of the Black community. The gunman: an 18-year-old self-professed white supremacist armed with a legally-purchased Bushmaster AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle. His goal, based on a rambling, poisonous 180-page document he posted online, was to"kill as many Blacks as possible." Of the 13 victims , eleven were African American.
The Buffalo shooter espoused a conspiracy theory known as"The Great Replacement," which wrongly posits that traditional, native-born white majorities are being replaced by people of color, immigrants, Jews and Muslims, aided and abetted by a leftwing globalist elite. This new population, the racist replacement theory maintains, compliantly votes according to the dictates of their supposed Democratic Party sponsors.
Several of Kendi's books have been banned or targeted for removal from school curricula and libraries, including the National Book Award-winning"Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America." Texas Senator Ted Cruz drove Kendi's children's book"Antiracist Baby" onto bestseller lists after denouncing it and several other books during the Senate confirmation hearings of African American Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.
"We know that 80% of the population of the East Side of Buffalo are people of color, are Black people specifically, and they have one place to shop…We have dubbed it 'food apartheid,' because it is a policy decision. The fact that there is no food on the East Side of Buffalo and there's not the availability of these basic services is a policy choice. There are people who actively chose to not provide services in this community.
