The slaughter in Buffalo that killed 10 has sparked a national conversation about 'Great Replacement' theory, which has been the inspiration for a slew of racial attacks in recent years across the country. But what does it mean?
A Buffalo, New York, man stormed into a supermarket Saturday and carried out a massacre with the alleged intent of killing"as many blacks as possible," according to a 180-page manifesto believed to have been authored by the suspected shooter that is laced with references to the"Great Replacement" theory.
The theory comes in different forms and has multiple iterations, including one in which Jews are the"replacist" elites striving to supplant white people, per the Immigration Forum. Oftentimes, the theory is linked to the"white genocide" conspiracy, which holds that white people are at risk of extinction and typically blames a Jewish plot for causing the extinction.
The term"Great Replacement" appears to have been popularized by French author Renaud Camus, who wrote a 2011 book called Le Grand Remplacement, per the ADL. His book holds that the burgeoning population of Muslims in France poses a serious danger to French culture. He describes the purported replacement process as"genocide by substitution," according to AFP.
Rep. Liz Cheney slammed Rep. Elise Stefanik earlier this week for ads Cheney said have lent credence to the theory. “In political terms, this policy is called the 'Great Replacement,’ the replacement of legacy Americans with more obedient people from far-away countries,” Carlson said. “They brag about it all the time, but if you dare to say it's happening, they will scream at you with maximum hysteria."
