If you don’t have a plan to stop white men shooting up places of worship, concerts, or schools, you aren’t serious about stopping terrorism.

Gregory Bush, the man accused of shooting & killing 2 African Americans in a KY Kroger last week, was charged with murder & attempted murder. He has not yet been with a hate crime, despite evidence that the attack was racially motivated. https://t.co/NrYEBgpEsa

It reminds us of the slaughter of African American worshipers at Charleston’s Mother Emmanuel Church in 2015, the killings of Sikh worshipers in Oak Creek in 2014, and the bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church in 1963 that left four young African American girls dead.
