Residents of Buffalo’s predominantly Black east side neighborhood maintain the mass shooting is an extreme example of the kind of targeted racism and discrimination residents have long experienced. By LATvives & NolanDMcCaskill

When 62-year-old Donna Davis learned that police had “begged” Payton Gendron — the white man accused of the mass shooting here — to surrender after carrying out what authorities said was a racially motivated attack that left 10 people dead and three others wounded, she became furious.

That account is in line with a 180-page document said to have been written by the suspect that echoed the far-right conspiracist view known as the “great replacement theory,” which claims that white Americans are at risk of being “replaced” by people of color through changing immigration and birth rates.

Whitfield said his mother had gone to a nursing home to care for his father, as she did every day, and stopped at the store to buy groceries when she killed. Davis said when she moved to Masten Park a month ago, one of several neighborhoods located on the city’s east side, she didn’t expect her car insurance bill to change. She had, after all, a perfect driving record.

He said between 2006 and 2016, the city had made about $160 million in community investments, but much of the money went to demolishing buildings and homes without constructing new ones. Two years before Taylor released his follow-up report, the state of New York conducted its own research of the area as part of a $65-million development plan.
