PEARL, Miss. (AP) -- A black man accused of stabbing an outspoken white supremacist to death says he didn't know about the man's racist views before the killing in Mississippi.

Vincent McGee told an Associated Press reporter on Monday that he learned later that Richard Barrett was a racist leader

This is a Feb. 24, 2010 photograph released by the Mississippi Department of Corrections of Vincent McGee of Pearl, Miss., who is charged with the murder of Richard Barrett, a white supremacist lawyer who was found stabbed to death in his burning house in Rankin County near Pearl, Miss., Thursday, April 22, 2010. Barrett, a New York City native and Vietnam War veteran, moved to Mississippi in 1966, and soon after, he began traveling the country to promote anti-black and anti-immigrant views, and founded a supremacist group called the Nationalist Movement. McGee has been arrested and taken to the Rankin County jail in Brandon. As a MDOC inmate McGee was out of prison on earned release supervision granted in February, 2010. He lived with family in a home several houses down the block from Barrett.

FILE - In this July 31, 2008 file photo, Richard Barrett, a 65-year-old attorney and Nationalist Movement leader, tells The Associated Press during an interview in his Pearl, Mississippi, home, that he's convinced Democratic Barack Obama will win in November, and could set off a white backlash. Rankin County Sheriff Ronnie Pennington says Richard Barrett's body was found early Thursday April 22, 2010, after residents reported seeing smoke coming from his house near a suburb of Jackson, Miss. The 67-year-old Barrett had traveled the U.S. to promote anti-black and anti-immigrant views. He founded a supremacist group called the Nationalist Movement

“A black man accused of stabbing an outspoken white supremacist to death says he didn’t know about the man’s racist views before the killing in Mississippi.”

Therefore, it was simply a random act of non-violence, hence I should get probation and continued food stamps, etc...

He just got lucky . The man he killed as just another day at work as a professional thug ,turned out to be someone he would have wanted to kill for recreation . It is like a bus man's holiday .

Some people talk about things that they perceive as problems.
Other people just stab the folks that they perceive to be problems.

Bottomline: Tea Partiers are violent, racist and un-American. Thank goodness that Al Sharpton and Barack Obama are here to save us all from the evil old white men.

star tats around the eye mean bad news

This is the most racists reporting I have ever seen. This blatant HATE CRIME is treated like justifiable homicide. This is promoting race war and they may want to be sure that is what they are wishing for because they just might get it.

Remember?

I think it’s coming. Enoch Powell was right — there will be Rivers of Blood.

Spot on. Check the tattoos right by his eye. Two teardrops.

I actually believe his story. lol He was just released from prison and I guess old habits are hard to break.

He possibly could have garnered some sympathy from a jury if he had used the victim's views to try to explain his actions.

He's probably just a stupid thug doing what stupid thugs just released from prison do.

Hate crime?

No?
