Buffalo Is Still Reeling From Racist Massacre
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июн 2022
- After a white supremacist attacked an East Buffalo supermarket, residents found that it was up to them to pick up the pieces. With the neighborhood’s only grocery store closed for the foreseeable future and the loss of 10 of its community members, activists and volunteers spent weeks filling the void by identifying the needs of the people, knocking on doors, organizing food giveaways and speaking to the city’s youth.
But many of the issues they saw weren’t just a result of the recent tragedy, but of decades of neglect, disinvestment, and racism. VICE News visited East Buffalo to see how the community is dealing with the ripple effects of the racist attack that changed this predominantly Black neighborhood forever.

The sad thing is this video clearly shows that the shooter got exactly what he wanted... He made an entire community of people terrified to leave their homes with the fear of being targeted even when just simply trying to shop for food...
The news did that and there's a simple explanation turn it off
@@dillionchatman5010 no it was the guy who walked into the grocery store and started killing them you apathetic weirdo
how many people live in fear of being shot as a result of gang violence? this story is one white dude. how many gang bangers are out there that inflict similar fear and violence on their community. I'm not saying this isnt a terrible thing that happened, but damn, this isn't the black communities biggest problem
@@flatearthdenier8454 Of course. These events are negligible in terms of casualties, as are all school shootings over the years. They're a rounding error in light of daily gang violence.
@@dillionchatman5010 the news? Are you slow? THEY LIVE THERE! THAT'S THE SUPERMARKET THEY GO TO BUY GROCERIES IN EVERY WEEK! You think they need the news to know what happened in their own community? You sound real goofy with your fake conscious "turn off your TV" BS.

I appreciate the documentation of the children's views. Often times, the innocence of children makes their opinions steadfast, straight forward and not clouded by propaganda or ignorance. They know what's needed and necessary. No excuses.
Except childrens opinions are a reflextion of what they heard at home and school.
@@FBarbarian. So were the shooters views. Who's parents are doing a better job?
@@jusadude186 Well some of those parents are teaching their kids that white people are bad racists. And killing a person of color should be instantly perceived as a race crime. Isn't this going to lead to black people shooting white people in race hate crime in the future? How is this solving the problem?
Incorrect the children's opinions are 100% based on what their parents teach them definitely loaded with propaganda and ignorance.
Yeah but in comes in the need for money and watch the mind set change everything lead back to money thats the reason why change will never happen

"check their brains". Kids are amazing
I have a friend who went through a grocery store shooting in Las Vegas back in the '90s. She has continuously been haunted since that time. She can never forget cowering and shaking in the food storage area of the freezer wondering if she was going to live. Then leaving with police escort and having to walk over the bodies of people she had known her coworkers. I know four people who were killed at Santa Fe high School in Texas. Sooner or later in America everybody will know somebody who has been senselessly killed in one of these mass shootings. It is shameful and extremely tragic!
Lol who cares. Cry harder
Kind of gives perspective to the tens of thousands that lost their lives to the United States in the past decade. Killing more innocent people than any other country probably shaped the world's opinion of us don't you think?

I can't help but notice how everyone is focusing on what the community thinks can stop this. But the problem doesn't originate in the community, the person wasn't radicalized by people in their community. They did it to themselves through the internet, so maybe there should be more of a discussion about how to stop this radicalization. Understanding how someone gets to that point is the best way to stop it, and the answers are right there. Loneliness, isolation, being left out of the community leads to hating it.
Biden Harris spewing racial garbage is effecting people. This did not happen all these shootings until they planted some seeds in peoples heads,
or maybe not allow racist, sexist, homophobic content to be consumed as fact. you don’t just become racist bc you were lonely. that’s not how that works.
@@EmmaBeaver333 good luck censoring the internet.
@@EmmaBeaver333 that content alone isn't the problem either. It didn't just appear out of thin air. There are larger societal problems that create said content so that's what should be stopped/changed.

These kids are smart. They’re so smart, and the fact that they have to live in a world like this is so upsetting. Kids shouldn’t have to worry about dying because of their skin color. Kids should be worried about what they’re gonna do when they get home from school, what game they’re gonna play, stuff that kids should be doing. I feel so bad not only for the kids but the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, all of them. Because they’re scared that the next generation is gonna die. It’s sad, and I wish there was an easy fix to this. All I can do is play my part and help when help is needed.
This is my city. I had the privilege of working for & in this community for years with children, families, the elderly. Buffalo is so segregated. Prejudice amd racism is woven into this whole region. It's so shameful. I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain to family members from my small hometown how off-base their perception of people from other cultures, backgrounds, appearance, etc. are. How systems were built to add barrier after barrier after barrier to every aspect of life. I am so sorry. I promise to be an advocate and raise my daughter to be an advocate.

As a pacifist it's hard for me to understand.
But, maybe if we got back to murdering thousands upon thousands of innocent civilians elsewhere in the world, which we got really good at the past decade, then we'd shift our attention back to making the world more volatile for our children and less for ourselves.
Yes. When slave traders went to Africa the African tribe leaders got rid of the tribes garbage and sent them to the USA. They certainly didn’t send us their best and brightest.

Not as sad as when the black people go mowing through Christian parades on Christmas
Furthermore something about BLM saying systematic oppression and warrants violence makes me think that this is okay I mean y'all have affirmative action holding down white males and minority grants holding them down and you're wondering why they're shooting y'all up I'm wondering why they're not all shooting you up.

It upsets me that at this day n age, blacks that have been here all their life are still saying “I can’t believe this happened”. 😕
It’s a deep fear based response.
speak about "racism" and slanting the news and "media". this is (was) an unfortunate incident.
-in march 2021: a syrian-born (us citizen/muslim) killed ten (caucasian) persons in colorado. (limited news)
-november 2021: an african/american (adult) male in a vehicle kills 6 (six) with over 65 injured weeks before christmas. with a litney of 'racist" based statements/beliefs and postings. the deceased were (elderly) of a seniors "dance" group (limited news and "outrage").
-may 2022: a 61yoa african/american (adult) male with (years) decades of stated (documented) racial hatred (non-blacks), "protests" and a (racist) YT channel attempts to kill 20 persons on a NY subway train.
did our (claimed) senior leader fuel up "AF1" and go consol the family of the 16 killed (colorado and Wisconsin) or in NY city; hence another (black) racist incident/hate "crime"?.
no; he (biden) waits until there is an incident that fits his (warped) and delusional agenda and social "calling" and then travels.
we never see "media" investigating these (clear) distinctive african/american (two of them) racially based "hate" crimes/incidents, but this article is titled "racist massacre". see wisconsin and NY was not, per se; a "crime" it was social "venting" by (adult) minority's.
educationally it would be proper to "watch"; this video although (society) this is just a slanted story in social context and reality. look at other citys:
to include chicago and LA "before" the unfortunate incident here in NY (buffalo)
Lots of love to everyone in east buffalo. Stay strong and live your life in peace.
Great journalism from vice like always most of there videos have opened my eyes so much more to all issues around the world and it’s so important to see stuff like this but also absolutely heartbreaking at the same time
It’s so disappointing that the news isn’t really
Covering this anymore . I know the school shooting in uvalde was also very tragic and horrible but you can focus on two events at the same time and not diminish the value of either event. This community is still hurting and in need of help and everyone is ignoring it , it’s super disappointing. This isn’t just a shocking news story these are peoples LIVES. Thank for this Vice.
May the victims,rest in peace. Their families deserve justice.
May the victims of all the Black crimes also Rest In Peace.
"It made me want to hurt him." I feel you young man.
he fucking watched the shooters video. unimaginably traumatizing for that child. horrifying to think about tbh
heartbreaking. thank you for your work and reporting
These babies are our future and society is letting them down🥺
They only focus when it’s someone with a different skin color black people shoot each other EVERYDAY
But their are plenty of things to help them turn that around.
That kid that said how as an 8 year old he can understand looking past skin color but a grown ass man of 18 he says can’t understand to not be racist. That was it right there.
As the famous quote goes: "Kids don't know racism. It is something that is taught."
And I believe the reason why the shooter specifically targeted black people was not because he hated black people per se, but rather believed in the "Great Replacement Theory", and so felt he needed to act because he was afraid that white people will eventually become a minority in the US.
Crazy ideology, but in a country where far-right ultraconservative groups like the Proud Boys exist, people believing in such things shouldn't be too surprising. And yet the conservatives/right will try to tell you that it's the left that's a threat to society.
@@flatearthdenier8454 bro just say you’re racist and move on. What they were trying to say had nothing to do with gang violence yet here you are still talking about it lol black folks can’t even grieve without somebody saying something like this
@@flatearthdenier8454 I’m all for a civil discussion if the other party is understanding. I won’t disagree and say black on black violence isn’t an issues amongst communities. it’s an everyday thing but you also have to look past what you see and realize most of these crimes are committed by folks who simply become a product of their environment. Most of them either have no other choice or learn from what’s around them and it doesn’t make it better that communities like that get shunned or outcasted and therefore turn the community into a fight to survive situation. If more ppl cared to address that it could start a turn as to why crime is so high among one another but that’s not a conversation most people want to have or even address.
@@flatearthdenier8454 Go read Chris Hedges & Mark Charles and get an education on the deep systemic issues in this country, that is if you really want to understand America.
@@Bowlowtie look, no one is holding a gun to these kids head forcing them to commit crime. It's just that the lifestyle is so lucrative and it's glamorized. Another big part of the issue is that 75% of black households are single parent households, and it's not the father's raising the kids. It's been shown that single mother households are responsible for raising highly degenerate people, drug addicts, abusers, alcoholics, violent offenders, while single father households are better at raising people that contribute to society. It seems like to me, that those households that lack the father to put the fear of authority into these kids are why so many incidents with police happen. They have no respect of authority, which leads to them pulling guns on the cops, or fighting with the cops, resisting arrest, thinking they can just ignore the cops and try to just walk away or whatever and just simple traffic stops can suddenly turn deadly. Along with all this, I think there is a major problem with blaming anything and everything but addressing some of these real reasons and it just gets put on racism, or systemic racism, when to be truthful, most white people in America are too busy raising their own families or working their 9-5 to care about what other people, even other whites, are doing and it's only because this gang culture and violence has such an impact on innocent bystanders and other crime that affects the community, is why people have resentment for the criminals. So too much attention is put on whites supposedly being racist and this "problem" with cops "killing" black people or "over policing" black neighborhoods seems like a distraction from the real issues. I mean to blame the police for why there are so many black men in prison is as stupid as blaming the bandaid for the cut that it's on top of. Police are a reactionary service. Crime happens, police are called, they handle the crime they are called to. It's not like police are driving up and down the street looking to bust any black person for every little crime and then just executing them cause they are black, it's just a cop out no pun intended. There needs to be change in the way black people are raised and I think this is a conversation that the community needs to have with themselves, there isn't much of anything other communities can do that they don't already do. I'm not saying there is absolutely no racism in America, but I think that animosity towards the black community much of it is a reaction to disregard that is seen from all the gangs and gang activity.
The Uvalde shootings shortly after this overshadowed what happened in Buffalo, but we must not forget what happened there as well.
Economic empowerment is the solution. They need to own their neighborhoods so they can make the laws and control what happens in the area.
Then get started on it
im from buffalo and im so glad that this started with a conversation about the 33 segregating our city. its been a massive problem that weve been fighting against recently to no avail. and that church on ferry and wyoming is my old familys church where my great aunt had her funeral. i dont even live on the west side but i hear gunshots once a week, buffalo is a deeply hurt city. my own house got shot up and the police did nothing they didnt even care coming 12 hours after they were called took the bullet that went through 3 doors and a wall and never saw them again, the cops are so corrupt and fucked up and dirty. we need more community resources and public safety groups for everybody specifically minorities.
The 33 did not segregate the city, white people practicing racism did all of that by design. There’s no justice without accuracy. Cash Reparations is a first step toward justice.

The part with the students was much appreciated, we need there perspectives
My family had houses in east Buffalo, the last house was two blocks off of Genesee, near Kehr. That was the house where my grandparents lived, (they both passed in the 1970's). Watching this brings me back, so many memories of my childhood are connected with that hood. We ended up in E. Amherst, every Sunday after church mom would drive us to visit our grandparents, down Genesee. During the "long, hot summer" riots, Genesee St. was one burnt out business after another. In my mind, it was the long hot summer rioting that polarized the Buffalo community concerning race, everyone seemed to get along previously, bc everyone worked together (at Bethlehem, etc.) and lived together in an integrated community. I am horrified at what happened at Tops. It's proof that we still have work to do to educate, and to legislate for gun control. We are experiencing a "pandemic" of gun violence, which is being driven by ignorance imo.
The shooter was not from Buffalo he came there because in his own words, they have lots of guns laws so the people won’t be able to respond. He came from 3 hours away
It’s being driven by ignorance but also the refusal by the sun community to admit sun people have delayed gratification and impulse control issues. Acknowledging your faults as a people and then figuring out how to solve those faults on your own would dramatically help the situation. Also, dropping all the anti white hatred would too.

I think the major issue is all the violence and crime that comes from the gang culture in the black community is what is behind most of what many people categorize as racism, and I don't really believe it is racism. if a large amount of any race is gonna be engaging in as much violence as alot of the black community is, there would be push back against it. that's just my opinion though
I’ve spent my whole life as paranoid as the people talking about shopping at the end and I don’t wish that on anyone. We need to see the world through the eyes of others as best we can, it’s the only way we’re going to save one another.
Hearing those kids broke my heart. So much hatred in this reality they have to take on

maybe if it wasnt ok to call for the genocide of white people and it wasnt socially acceptable to be blatantly racist to white people that might help? there are tweets from multiple black university professors on twitter right now that call for the genocide of white people and they arent new tweets they have been there awhile and they went unpunished, so maybe the left and certain black people can stop with their racism and calling for white genocide, if those tweets where by a white person and you changed the word white with black then he would be in prison right now and charged with a hate crime, the kid who did the shooting was crazy but he said he was trying to stop the elimination of the white race and thats why he did it, do you think all the white racism and hate and calling for white genocide didnt play any part in his decision? i'm not condoning what he did, it was horrible, but i can see where a mentally unstable person might get the idea that the elimination of the white race was inevitable, its time we stop living a hypocrisy where the left can say anything they want or anyone can say anything they want about white people no matter how racist even if it calls for genocide and its ok, the world is gone insane, its so stupid, its blatantly obvious what is causing all the violence and division
You don't understand how shock happens
I agree 100%. I mean, times have gotten better but there are white people that just genuinely hate blacks. Racism will never 100% go away, and that’s just a fact.
I live in buffalo. This is my home I frequent this store. This is sickening and sad. Please stop the hate!
yes, maybe start with the multiple black university professors who tweeted that white people should all be killed and the tweets are still up and unpunished, when did it become ok to be racist to white people and call for their death and it mean nothing and come with no punishment but if it was a white person saying the same thing about any other race he would be in prison for commiting a hate crime and instigating violence. why is perfectly socially acceptable these days to be racist to and hate all white people
I live in Buffalo, have been helping out the East Side, and I am very confused by Franchelle Parker's comments. The people aren't treated like dogs. The food isn't just dumped in the streets and the broader Buffalo community has been doing a lot to help out with food assistance in the East Side. Vice News, do a better job of fact checking the statements made by people you interview. People of all colors have been helping out the East Side through this horrific tragedy. That's not going to change even with this biased hit piece.
My heart hurts for all involved. I hope my fellow humans can find the strength to push forward and heal in peace. 🙏
Condolences to the family's involved. Be strong. ✊😞
Be strong
This already struggling part of the city has gone through so much. The music of Griselda (Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher and Conway) has shed light on a city that has been forgotten about by the powers that be. I grew up in the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York and the area where I lived was craaaazy racist. With Upstate New York it seems the further north you go the more racism you see. I was speechless the first time I saw pickup trucks and t shirts with Rebel flags in New York.
And that automatically means racism?
@@jaobyeden4143 when the people around you in said trucks with rebel flag stickers are using racist language yes it does thanks for coming to my Ted talk
@@Yupstate845 pickup trucks mean racist dude😂😂. Blacks are more racist than whites on average and you know it
@@jaobyeden4143
What else does the confederate flag mean?
@@sendthis9480 i know a cuppa black dudes with confederate flag tattoos. Means different things to different people.
I’m sick and tired of these situations. I’m sick and tired of people who can even begin to think this way. I think of my precious niece, nephew, mom, dad, grandparents, etc., always telling them to be aware of their surroundings.
Glad y’all highlighted this. I was so frustrated to see that there was not NEARLY as much outrage/media attention for this vs Uvlade just a week later.
Thank you Vice for coming to our city after the national media leaves.
@@readtherealanthonyfaucibyr6444 whataboutism
Just to let everyone know, at the time I write this, mayor Brown hasn't done anything for the community and continues to turn a blind eye to the continuous damage done to the east side. The community has come together and done what they can because no one else will.
If you want to help look in to BLRR, black love resists in the rust, and Open Buffalo are great. Check out the community gardens on the east side too!
I am sorry this has happened. Bless you all.
Look at what we are doing to our beautiful children ❤
Horrifying and heart breaking 💔 😢 😔
Number one murderer of innocent men women and children for two decades and most of the country don't care as long as they get money for killing children.
have you seen what the children are doing. that's heartbreaking when they're taking another child's life. I live in Chicago and been seeing it for 25 years and it's been going on beyond my 36 years of life. yet this is just an design system and it's gets crazier each day...
As a veteran it saddens me to my core to see such a despicable and unacceptable act happen in my city. Personally I would lay down my life to stop such a heinous act. This kid would not of made it to trial if I had put my hands on him
The security guard sure laid down his life for the heinous act. Now he's a dead hero.
You say that but yet the military is deployed overseas to fight someone else's war when the war is right here in your own backyard..
@@crand20033 That's your people who committed this act look in the mirror..
@@darensamuel4490 There are deranged people among any and all races.
This makes me cry. To know that such evil exists in the world is a scary thought. I pray for the future generation of children growing up in America. What a messed up time to be a kid. Great segment @vicenews
are the university professors who tweeted that white people should all be killed evil as well? there are literaly at least 3 black university professors all from different schools who have literaly called for white genocide and the tweets are still up and went unpunished, think about that and maybe you could see how a mentally unstable white kid might be in fear that the white race was going to be eliminated, there has to be an end to this bullshit hypocrisy and double standard from the left that screams racism yet they are the ones who spread it and wont let it die, its ok these days to be blatantly racist to white people without any fear of reprisal and even to call for their deaths, racism wont die until people stop bringing it up
Amen 🙏🏼
IKR
So heartbreaking 💔
Thanks for opening my eyes and ears in this country it’s very sad we are treated as less when we are the backbone of this whole nation
I grew up in that area and experienced discrimination because I'm transgender by all races people have to stop all hate and realize that someone attacked the black community discrimination is discrimination regardless if it's racist or not please stop all hate
Thank you for keeping this in the media
They only put it in the media to LATCH ON a liberal Gun control agenda onto it. It's not about caring about Black people. THAT'S FOR SURE. They didn't say ANYTHING about an ANTI-BLACK HATE CRIME BILL. Which the Asians community received. Why shouldn't we? When we've endured HUNDREDS OF YEARS more of oppression than ANY OTHER GROUP.
Awww this breaks my heart, seeing the way that shooter hurt this community. 😔💔
Smart kids.We need to support this mentorship program very important for this kids
Can’t wait to move back to Ghana. America will make you go mad. Too much trauma. We might not have a lot in Ghana but we sure have peace and love

YES!!
@Exculpatory Shōgun nobody like ya anymore. Not even Russia. Lol
If you stay ready you don't have to worry about getting ready
Dude these kids are so well spoken and intelligent for being so young
Showing people the aftermath. Even how ugly it is. IS THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW CITIZENS HOW TO WAKE UP
I feel like a proud mama seeing my scholars! We are so thankful for Candles in the sun at #31 THANK YOU!!
I feel so bad for them because this country is messed up the entire focus had to shift to Uvalde in just a week. My heart breaks for them because this was a food dessert and they fought hard to get this store and now it’s ruined.
so sad. I pray for their families.
No idea why but this has gotten so much less media atention that it deserved almost heard nobody talking about this which is horrible on its own .
nah she said she gone be rushing the cashier at the store so she can get out faster in case of a shooting. baby if someone starts bussin it’s gone be time for both of us to leave
So crazy I've walked by this store countless times.
Race is a creation not a biological construct. America has never fixed or repaired this creation. This country has only brought in “people of color” to mask the Black failure that they have woven into the fabric of everything here (religion, education, failing schools & cities, etc). The most important component they stripped from was/is wealth & wealth building. We were forced to build the richest country of all time & then bottom casted. The veil of entertainment & sports has been the only way out. Thanks #ADOS organization for this full understanding of the construct
that’s defined by our lineage and not by color itself. American Descendants of Slavery for Reparations, policies, & protections ✌🏾🙏🏾.
That kid that watched the live stream broke my heart, really shows how hate breeds more hate💔
“If we hurt him are we just as low as him”
What a pacifist statement.
Nah homie - you gotta let folks know they come over here with the F sht, they’re catchin’ ALL THE SMOKE!
Jesus got black folks out here playing victim.
We need to return the consequences. If his family or community get shot up, it's all fair game.
You the only one(besides me of course)that has some type of get back in their minds..
Still can’t believe this happened in my city 😢
Cause and effect. It won't stop either, not until we get our own countries.
This is terrorism

Ok, what terrorist group was he with?
@@nacanacoo killing innocent people is a terrorism

God damn these kids have better gun safety measures than our congress. We should get these kids on the Senate.
It's just so heart breaking. I now have my groceries delivered, and now it's getting to be expensive. But shopping in a store is now nerve racking. Doing most things is just too much. Driving and sending kids to school is terrifying. This country is just bad for us as Black people. It's no good for us at all.
then leave please
@@AndalusianMyDiamond 🤨
Not just Buffalo the ENTIRE BLACK COMMUNITY IS STILL TRYING TO HEAL WE ARE SICK OF THIS!
This my neighborhood man it’s crazy Northampton n Holland raised. Prayers for the city but bigger prayers for my neighborhood. Peace to the ColdSprings!!!
He was demented, he considered Mount Vernon, Hempstead NY, and Rochester also as targets before settling on Buffalo. Sick fuk
My heart goes out to you!
So emotional... Thank you Vice.
Emotional...exactly
You hear about all these shootings on the news and they are never close to home. Once it happens near you it’s a huge wake up call. It’s important you tell the people you care for that you love them because life is not guaranteed. It’s sad that life is like this
having children consider such horrible acts is madness!
So sad.
I hope tragedies like this and the racist tragedy of Waukesha are remembered. So sad to see white people killing people of color and black people killing white people or people of Asian ethnicity for no other reason than race. In the end, it really comes down to mental health issues and the family unit is so broken up within our society. We need more caring fathers and mothers that raise better human beings and better mental healthcare to help those in need.
Let's be real all American cities are segregated. Black communities all over the nation are in a daze over this.
When they racially attack others it doesn’t make the news racism is evil no matter who does it
@@user-ir1lu1ei4n Don't be buki, it makes the news as well. A certain group is known for targeting soft targets with WS intentions and killing large numbers of people. Facts!!
This ish is crazy because this hits home I grew up around this area
Showing how the children felt was great. This is an event many of them would have never experienced before. They will have to grow up with this as something that hangs over them, particularly the black kids. It is beyond important to hear what they say.
