BUFFALO, N.Y. — The White House said President Joe Biden would travel to Buffalo on Tuesday to grieve with victims and their family members after what police described as a racially motivated mass shooting on Saturday that left 10 people dead.
But members of that tightknit community say they want more from the president than his condolences.
"I want him to speak on the truth," said Marnetta Malcolm, a 61-year-old activist who grew up near the Tops Friendly Markets store where the massacre occurred. "This is not going to not happen again, right? So the truth of the matter is this is a country problem. This is an American problem with them hating us. ... Now you can't shop at the grocery store while you're Black. You probably can't walk and travel while you're Black. There's a few things you can't (do). That's the problem."
