"Addressing White Supremacy and Gun Violence: Biden, Harris, and the Jacksonville Shooting"

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris called on Americans to unite against white supremacy following a racially-motivated shooting in Florida that left three Black people dead. Biden emphasized the need to speak out against hate and condemned white supremacy as a poison. The shooter, who later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, left behind manifestos expressing his hatred for Black people. Hate crimes in the US have surged nearly 12% in 2021, with racial or ethnic bias being the main driving force. Biden and Harris urged Americans not to let factions divide the nation and emphasized the importance of teaching the country's history, including its painful past, to move forward together.
