An 18-year-old white shooter opened fire at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, killing ten people and injuring three more. The accused gunman lamented a drop in white birth rates in a 180-page manifesto. He chose a largely Black neighborhood because people of color were attempting to “ethnically replace my own people.”

Following the deadly shooting in Buffalo over the weekend, John Legend chastised political commentator Tucker Carlson for supporting a conspiracy theory. John Legend recently shared the video and called out Tucker and other conspiracy theorists.

Tucker and similar proponents of this evil ideology continue to poison the minds of millions. They have contributed to multiple terrorist massacres and will continue to do so. This is sickening and dangerous. This should not be on a major cable network.

Followers of this ideology have been massacring Jews, Blacks, Asians, Latinos. When will we ostracize and de-platform these terrorist sympathizers on our TV and social networks? In no other context would a terrorist sympathizing news anchor be allowed to continue to spew this nonsense as the body count continues to mount.

MSNBC gathered video of Fox News personality Tucker Carlson supporting the “Great Replacement Theory.” It’s a white supremacist conspiracy theory that claims white elites are assisting people of color in Western countries to replace white people in order to sway elections.

The families of the victims killed in the Buffalo massacre have been receiving a lot of support, in the form of crowdfunding and in other areas as well. A couple official fundraisers have been organized after the tragic incident. Keep checking back with Thirsty for latest updates.
