NEW YORK, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Public lynchings of racial barbarity have not been relegated to the U.S. past, but are links in an unbroken chain of hate that continue, as recently manifested by the shooter who identified himself as a White supremacist and mowed down 10 Black people this month at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, reported CNN on Sunday.

The alleged shooter in Buffalo, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder and more charges, intended for his heinous act to be witnessed by others who shared his White nationalist views, said CNN in an Opinion article titled "Mass shootings have a lot in common with another American horror."
