On the 159th day of his rooftop vigil, Pastor Corey Brooks shared his thoughts on the violence tearing apart American communities from Chicago to Buffalo.
. A white supremacist drove 200 miles from a nowhere town into a predominantly black neighborhood and shot up people in a market. He killed them because, of all things, the color of their skin. He didn’t know them. He didn’t care. And my heart truly breaks for these innocent folks who were grabbing a snack or ingredients for the meal they were going to cook that night. They had no idea that lurking around the corner was pure evil and that it was heading their way.
What we have to admit first is our powerlessness. We have to admit that we are fallen beings, profoundly fallen. We then have to bear witness, bear witness to what we see. We must live not in ideology, fantasies, but in reality. The white supremacist shooter wrote over 100 pages on racial political nonsense, as if what he said mattered. Hate governed his soul to the point that he pulled the trigger and killed all those people.
