Wall Street Journal Editorial Board Acknowledges ‘Racist Subculture Exists in America’
The Wall Street Journal editorial board acknowledged that a “racist subculture exists in America” and called on elected officials to condemn “white replacement theory” in an op-ed decrying the Buffalo mass shooting.
