- What happened here was terrorism.
Domestic terrorism, Biden said in a speech to the victims' relatives and representatives of local authorities plus people who were only on site after the act.
- In America, evil will not win, I promise.
Hatred will not prevail and white supremacy will not have the last word.
Joe Biden called the ideas of "white supremacy" "poison" and addressed in his speech the right-wing extremist conspiracy theories that abound about an ongoing genocide of whites, theories that call for violence.
- Now it's time for the American people from all ethnic groups, to reject white supremacy as a majority.
Investigated as a racist hate crime
It was last Saturday that an 18-year-old man opened fire and shot dead a total of ten people inside and outside a grocery store.
The man filmed the act with a helmet-mounted camera and broadcast the event live online.
He is also reported to have posted some form of racist manifesto on the internet.
The residents in the area were mainly black people.
The police are investigating the act as a racist hate crime.
