People are dead just because of the color of their skin…we wanted to believe that this type of activity was a stain in America’s past and had no place in the present
Years ago, they hid under white hood; today, they hide in the anonymity of the Internet

Andrew Cuomo retweeted
"I am sickened by what happened here in Buffalo"
Former Gov. Cuomo is the latest in a series of politicos to descend upon the city reeling from the racist mass shooting in which a white gunman is accused of killing 10 Black people last week.

And that love can help us heal and can empower us to fight together to make this the moment of change. So that the Tops massacre is not just another on a long list, but the tragedy that ends the list.
And that our dear brothers and sisters did not die in vain.

We tell our children, our enemies bring hate and we bring love, and love wins every time.
So tell your children that I am here today to tell you that I love you. I am here to tell you that people all across the state of every religion, every creed, every ideology love you.

I was speaking to a black woman from Buffalo this week and she said to me, Andrew what do I tell my children. What do I tell my young son, how do I explain to him that Black people were shot because of the color of their skin?

I had no good answer at the time, but I’ve thought about it all week.
We tell our children these are evil scared sick people. They are threatened by people with a different color skin or a different religion or who come from a different place.

The time to do it is now. We have a Democratic President a Democratic Congress & Democratic Senate.If not now, when?
Too many people have died for politicians to say,“well we tried”
We don’t elect people to try. We elect people to do
Stop making excuses&start making progress

And an elected official who supports them is no better than a modern-day Bull Connor.
They are not public officials – they violated their oath – they are co-conspirators and they should be censured by Congress for what they did.

Do justice. Politics today is toxic – we have extremist politicians who are fanning the flames of fear. They are purposely fomenting hate groups by saying Blacks, Latinos and immigrants are a replacement theory for the white race.

These people are domestic terrorists, as dangerous to this country as foreigners who put bombs in buildings.
Change the federal law & if a social media network is the place where these terrorist plots are being planned then they should be held legally accountable

Micah: Do justice. These racists, these fascists, these white supremacists are just cowards. Years ago they hid their faces under white hoods, now they hide in the anonymity of the internet.

No more excuses from our officials. I know it’s hard. In New York we passed the toughest gun safety law in the nation called the Safe Act. Change doesn’t come easily. You have to fight to make it happen. We faced opposition from the Republicans and from some Democrats. (1/2)

Deuteronomy 16:20 tells us, “Justice, justice thou shalt pursue”. But the Lord wants results. Micah 6:8 the Lord “requires us to do justice”. We must stop the cancer from spreading.
And we can.

In one of the news stories this week a woman named Toni Arrington said, “she didn’t care about what the President said. She wanted action”
I heard the voice of Fannie Lou Hamer saying I’m sick & tired of being sick & tired
Toni’s right
We need more than words. We need action

What happened couldn’t be more ugly because there was no provocation of any kind, no possible explanation. People are dead because of the color of their skin. Period.
