Buffalo teen whose aunt, cousin were inside grocery store during attack: ‘We’ve got to come together’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
BUFFALO, N.Y. – A Buffalo teen is calling on Americans to “come together” and “build each other up” in the wake of a hate-fueled mass shooting just blocks away from his home, which left 10 people dead and three more wounded.
President Biden visited the community Tuesday to condemn White supremacy after police arrested Payton Gendron, an 18-year-old from hundreds of miles away, in what FBI Director Christopher Wray is calling “a hate crime and an act of racially motivated violent extremism.”
“It’s good to see our president doing something,” Michael Cole told Fox News Digital Tuesday. “Stepped it down, showed us some humbleness.”
Michael Cole lives just blocks away from the Tops Friendly Market targeted in what the FBI calls a “racially motivated” hate crime attack. He said his aunt and cousin were inside during the massacre.

PRESIDENT BIDEN VISITS BUFFALO, MEETS VICTIMS’ FAMILIES AFTER TOPS MARKET ATTACK
The president’s motorcade arrived at the Tops Friendly Market on Jefferson Avenue around 10 a.m. Biden and first lady Jill Biden approached a makeshift memorial on Landon Street carrying flowers.
They spent about 10 minutes there before departing to meet with families of the victims and responding officers at a nearby community center. Gathered local residents cheered the president’s armored limousine as it left the parking lot.
“It was pretty cool seeing, first ever [time] seeing the president drive by in my life,” Cole said, despite the circumstances of the commander-in-chief’s visit.

Cole said he lives in the immediate area and that he went to the Tops store “almost every day” – and that his cousin and aunt were inside at the time of the massacre.

“I feel as if, if everyone was to just come together, and everyone was allowed to be just people, I feel like the world would just work a lot better,” he said. “That’s what we should just work on, just being a community together, instead of trying to hurt each other…We should all build each other up and we should all just be one.”
Dean Lewis, a U.S. Army veteran who grew up in the neighborhood and still has family members living just blocks from the scene of the crime, called the attack “senseless and ridiculous.”

He also said he had previously worked with Aaron Salter, the security guard who exchanged gunfire with the attacker and died trying to save others.
Gendron is accused of fatally shooting 10 people Saturday afternoon and livestreaming the alleged hate crime attack on Twitch. Three other people were injured. Eleven of the victims were Black, according to city police, and he is accused of posting a 180-page document online explaining his plan and motives.
“People need to set aside their differences because guess what? There are no differences,” Lewis said. “You bleed the same color I do. If your blood type was mine or vice versa, and you had a car wreck, would you want my blood if that’s gonna save your life?”
The deceased victims have been identified as Roberta A. Drury, 32, Margus D. Morrison, 52, Andre Mackneil, 53, Aaron Salter, 55, Geraldine Talley, 62, Celestine Chaney, 65, Heyward Patterson, 67, Katherine Massey, 72, Pearl Young, 77, and Ruth Whitfield, 86.

Three injured survivors were identified as Zaire Goodman, 20, Jennifer Warrington, 50, and Christopher Braden, 55.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has called the attack “a hate crime and an act of racially motivated violent extremism.” Federal authorities are pursuing additional charges.

Gendron was charged with first-degree murder in Buffalo City Court. He was arraigned late Saturday and pleaded not guilty. The judge ordered him held without bail, and he is due back in court on Thursday. Prosecutors have hinted that additional charges will be forthcoming.
After visiting a makeshift memorial outside the market, Biden met with victims’ families and responding officers at a nearby community center. Then he addressed the country, condemning hatred and calling for enhanced gun control measures.
“In America, evil will not win, I promise you,” Biden said. “Hate will not prevail. White supremacy will not have the last word. Evil did come to Buffalo. It has come to too many places.”

Wife, aunt of N.Korea’s Kim make rare public appearance amid pandemic
SEOUL, Feb 2 (Reuters) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s wife and influential auntmade a rare appearance in state media on Wednesday, as the ruling family has maintained a low profile during the coronavirus pandemic.
Kim’s wife, Ri Sol Ju, and his aunt, Kim Kyong Hui, attended an art performance at the Mansudae Art Theatre in the capital, Pyongyang, celebrating the Lunar New Year holiday, state television showed.
Ri was last seen publicly on Sept. 9, when she joined her husband in visiting the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, which houses the embalmed bodies of Kim’s late grandfather and father, on the anniversary of the country’s founding.

“When (Kim) appeared at the auditorium of the theatre with his wife, Ri Sol Ju, amid the playing of the welcome music, the audience raised stormy cheers of ‘Hurrah!'” the official KCNA news agency said.
TV footage showed Ri, in a traditional red-and-black hanbok dress, chatting and smiling with Kim during the show, and the couple taking the stage to shake hands and take a photo with the artists.
The clip also confirmed the first appearance since January 2020 of Kim’s aunt and a former senior official of the ruling Workers’ Party, Kim Kyong Hui, seen watching the concert sitting next to Ri.
Kim Kyong Hui was a key figure in the young leader’s first years in power, but had disappeared from media after he ordered the execution of her powerful husband, Jang Song Thaek, over treason charges in 2013, before making a surprise comeback six years later.
South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) said in 2017 that she was dealing with unspecified illness outside Pyongyang.
Ri had once garnered international attention as she often accompanied Kim on social, business and even military outings, in a stark break from his father, Kim Jong Il, who was rarely seen in public with any of his wives.
She was absent from state media for more than a year before being seen attending a concert last February, fuelling speculation over her health and potential pregnancy.
The NIS told lawmakers that she apparently refrained from outside activities to prevent COVID-19 infections but was “playing well with their kids.”
The spy agency believes Kim and Ri have three children, but little is publicly known about them.
North Korea has not confirmed any COVID-19 outbreaks, but closed its borders and taken strict curbs including travel restrictions.

Pearl Milling Company’s new ads remind customers it used to be Aunt Jemima — without mentioning the racist brand
Aunt Jemima isn’t mentioned in two of Pearl Milling Company’s new commercials, one of which aired Monday. But parent company PepsiCo said reminding customers that the brand’s products haven’t changed is one of the ad campaign’s goals.
Boosting sales is another.
“Given that we’re still in the early stages of the rebrand process, there is a need for us to reinforce that Pearl Milling Company has the same great taste consumers have known for generations and with a new name that welcomes people of all backgrounds,” a PepsiCo spokesperson told CNN Business. “There’s also an opportunity for us to accelerate growth in the pancake and syrup categories.”
PepsiCo and its Quaker Oats subsidiary announced in June 2020 that they were doing away with the Aunt Jemima brand name due to its racist origins, something critics have been calling on the companies to do for decades.
In February, PepsiCo confirmed that Aunt Jemima would become Pearl Milling Company, a callback to the the late-19th-century business that invented the original ready-made pancake mix.
The new ads feature smiling Black families enjoying Pearl Milling Company pancakes and syrup around the breakfast table as a narrator gives viewers the new brand’s back story.
“Pearl Milling Company isn’t new to this,” the narrator says during one of the ads. “Our perfectly fluffy, syrupy goodness has been there for every special moment and we’ll always be here. Stack up the Mmmoments.”
Pearl Milling Company products began hitting grocery store shelves in June. PepsiCo said it’s too soon to say how well the new brand is selling compared to Aunt Jemima.
“Shelves are still transitioning so it is too early to share sales figures, but we’re encouraged as we look at initial Pearl Milling Company velocity performance,” PepsiCo said via email.
The announcement of Aunt Jemima’s retirement came in the wake of the police murder of George Floyd last year, starting a domino effect among food brands with problematic logos and packaging. Uncle Ben’s, Mrs. Butterworth’s and Cream of Wheat are just three of the brands that confirmed they would either be reviewing their packaging or rebranding the products entirely.
The NFL’s Washington Football team also announced it would be changing its former nickname, a slur against Native Americans, after resisting calls to do so for decades. A spokesperson for the team told CNN Business earlier this summer that it won’t unveil a new name until next year.
Mrs. Butterworth’s parent company, Conagra Brands, told CNN Business earlier this summer that it is still in the process of reviewing the syrup brand’s bottle shape.
PepsiCo said the first of its three new 30-second TV ads aired Monday. “Two other spots featuring additional families will air in early October,” the company said.
Ask Amy: Aunt annoyed at friend who had sex with her teenage niece after she asked him not to
Dear Amy. Last summer my niece come to stay with me. She was 18 at the time.
I could tell that one of my adult friends, “Stan,” was attracted to her, so I asked him not to have sex with her.
A few months later, my niece told me that Stan had had sex with her and that she didn’t like it and was uncomfortable with it. She asked me not to mention it to him. Finally, she told me that she had worked it out and that they had stopped.
I was annoyed with Stan because I had specifically asked him not to do this. He said it was unfair of me to ask him, since she was not a minor.
I told him it would have been better if he had spoken to me about it instead of me having to find out about it from my niece, who is upset about it.
It has really affected our relationship, and I’m not sure if it can be repaired.
Stan says that if he had to do it over again, he would do the same, even though I had asked him not to.
– Angry Aunt
Dear Angry: Your tone conveys a sense of ownership, rather than concern, regarding this teenager.
You are not your niece’s sexual gatekeeper. On the other hand, you cast your friend as a predator, and your concern obviously has been well-placed. But shouldn’t you have talked to your niece about this in advance, instead of wasting your breath on him?
Your attention should now be focused entirely on your niece’s well-being. She is quite obviously (and understandably) confused about the nature of this sexual relationship. Is she OK? Is this OK? She might not know, and rather than you dictating to her, you should be as nonjudgmental as possible, so she will feel comfortable talking with you about it.
Accompany her to a health clinic to make sure she has birth control counseling and STD tests.
Talk to her about consent. She has the right to decide what she wants to do, sexually. If she doesn’t consent, her choice must be respected, and if she didn’t consent to whatever transpired last summer, then she has the right to go to the police.
In terms of possibly repairing your relationship with “Stan,” I can’t imagine why you would want to. Even if – strictly speaking – his behavior wasn’t illegal, unethical, or even any of your business – if you don’t like hanging out with an unrepentant horn dog, then there is no reason to maintain the friendship.
Dear Amy: I am 74-year-old happily married woman.
My three adult daughters went in on a birthday gift for me, and what they chose was a (sex toy) vibrator!
I never indicated a need for this, and I am both shocked and insulted. So is my husband.
How should I react to this? The cat “Stanley” likes it and purrs when I place it on his side.
– Upset Mom
Dear Upset: You should contact your daughters, as a group, and ask an open-ended question: “Ladies: What were you thinking? What’s this about?”
They may respond, “Oh, Mom, get it together – it was a joke!” To which you can say, “Really? Please explain to me exactly what the joke is here, because I’m not getting it. On the other hand, it seems to be working for Stanley. He’s never been happier.”
Attach a video of the cat with his new sex toy, which should help to make your point, leavened with some humor.
Dear Amy: My friend and her family help me out with projects around my house.
Recently her husband has developed “wandering hands.”
I give everyone a hug and thank them before they leave, and he has started grabbing my backside when I hug him. I’m disgusted by this. It makes me angry and uncomfortable. I’ve told him numerous times to stop and have threatened to tell his wife.
He says I won’t. It’s a sticky situation, as his wife is ill and I can’t imagine adding more to her already full plate.
I’m also afraid she won’t believe me and that it will be the end of our friendship.
I’ve never given him any reason to believe that I’m even remotely interested in him. How do I stop this unwelcome behavior and maintain my friendship?
– Upset
Dear Upset: Hire someone else to help around the house. Keep your distance from this man.
If he does this again, call him out immediately and in front of others.

Aunt Jemima Has a New Name After 131 Years: The Pearl Milling Company
It has been a staple of American breakfast tables for more than a century, but has long faced criticism that its name and likeness are rooted in racist imagery.
Now, Aunt Jemima has a new name: the Pearl Milling Company.
In an announcement on Tuesday by PepsiCo, which owns Aunt Jemima’s parent company Quaker Oats, the pancake-mix and syrup line formally began rebranding itself and moved one step closer to permanently abandoning its 131-year-old name.
The new name comes from the milling company in St. Joseph, Mo., that pioneered the self-rising pancake mix that became known as Aunt Jemima, according to PepsiCo, which said the rebranded products would arrive in stores in June.
The change has been in the works since last June after the killing of George Floyd catalyzed widespread protests over racial injustice and a nationwide reckoning over symbols of the Old South and their meaning. Several large food companies came under fire for using racial stereotypes, including Quaker Oats, which said it would drop the Aunt Jemima name, redesign its packaging and pledge $5 million to support the Black community.
The company unveiled a redesigned website for its line of Aunt Jemima products on Tuesday, saying “it was the start of a new day.”
“Last June, PepsiCo and The Quaker Oats Company made a commitment to change the name and image of Aunt Jemima, recognizing that they do not reflect our core values,” the company said on the website.
Products with the Aunt Jemima name will continue to be available until June, but without the picture of the Aunt Jemima character’s face, according to PepsiCo, which said in a news release that the company sought input on the new name.
“Throughout the effort that led to the new Pearl Milling Company name, Quaker worked with consumers, employees, external cultural and subject-matter experts, and diverse agency partners to gather broad perspectives and ensure the new brand was developed with inclusivity in mind,” PepsiCo said.
Ja’Mal Green, a civil rights advocate and former mayoral candidate in Chicago, said on Twitter on Tuesday that the change had been long overdue.
“130 years ago two white men created ‘Aunt Jemima’ syrup,” Mr. Green said. “Took a Black slave archetype & made her the face of their syrup for profit. Today, that ends. Aunt Jemima is finally being replaced. Those white men made billions appropriating blackness & hopefully rotting in hell.”
On the Aunt Jemima website, photos of the pancake mix and syrup’s new packaging were unveiled on Tuesday. They feature a rendering of a mill with a water wheel and still use the same red, white and yellow color scheme. Both the pancake-mix box and the syrup bottle included a label that says, “New Name Same Great Taste Aunt Jemima.”
In addition to the rebranding, the newly established Pearl Milling Company also said on Tuesday that it was making a $1 million commitment to empower and uplift Black girls and women. The money is in addition to a $400 million, five-year investment to support Black business and communities, and increase Black representation at PepsiCo, the company said.
Noliwe Rooks, an author and professor at Cornell University whose work explores race and gender, said in an email on Tuesday night that there were additional steps the company could take.
“I think one good use of these funds might be to support a Black women-led ad agency who they could hire to consult with them going forward to ensure they have good advice about their branding and advertising plans,” Dr. Rooks said of the $1 million.
The Aunt Jemima character has roots in a 19th-century minstrel song that expressed nostalgia for the antebellum South. Quaker Oats replaced the kerchief on the Aunt Jemima character’s head with a plaid headband in 1968 and added pearl earrings and a lace collar in 1989.
Last September, Mars Food announced that it was changing the name of its Uncle Ben’s rice products to Ben’s Original and that it would also remove the image of an older Black man smiling from the box.
The parent company of Cream of Wheat also said last September that the Black chef would no longer appear on its packaging.
