The mass shooting in Buffalo on Saturday in which a white gunman allegedly targeted black grocery shoppers shows that white Americans must do more “to come to terms with their own appeasement” of racism, according to a CNN reporter. Nia-Malika Henderson, who covers politics for the all-news cable network, said racism in America is a “white cultural problem.”She was speaking on Tuesday after President Biden traveled to western New York to visit the site of the shooting that killed 10 people. The alleged gunman, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, cited the so-called “replacement theory” as a motive for the shootings. During an appearance on Tuesday’s “Inside Politics,” Henderson said racism was a “white cultural problem” and that white Americans ought to take the lead in combating prejudice.
