Black Americans say white vigilantism played a role in Jordan Neely’s homicide
NBC News / Comcast ^ | May 5, 2023 | By Curtis Bunn (D-NBC)

“It reignites the terror in the souls of Black folks when we witness these killings of our people without trial, without jury, without adjudication,” one psychologist said.

In the moments before New York City subway entertainer Jordan Neely was killed on an F train in lower Manhattan in the middle of the day, a witness said he had been yelling, asking for food and saying that he didn’t care if he went to jail.

For Donald Grant, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles, the deadly act represents a white vigilantism that has become an ever-present threat to Black Americans, manifested in the killings of many men and women whose names have made up headlines and hashtags over decades.

“It reignites the terror in the souls of Black folks when we witness these killings of our people without trial, without jury, without adjudication,” said Grant, author of the book "White on White Crime: Old Lies in Contemporary Times."

“This vigilante activity is really a reminder of the dangerous conditions that Black Americans exist in now,” he added.

It’s not enough that Black people are killed, Grant said. It’s that each killing requires “public outrage for our humanity to be recognized in a way that doesn’t allow us to be murdered like animals in public spaces.”

Bunn doesn’t sound like he’s got it all together.

Sadly, they could not care less about the other 500 blacks killed in NYC last year. Just this crazy one.

“has become an ever-present threat to Black Americans”

Id say abortion up and until birth, for any reason, is a much larger threat to black Americans.

Scott Adams is right.

This can never be resolved. The goal is to make whites subservient to the Communist agenda.

To black people who hate white people, any white person who tries to defend himself or someone else from a black person who hates him is guilty of white vigilantism.

Black people in this country have been preyed upon by their own leaders. They have been taught a huge lie (i.e., "you can hate other people because of their race and it's not racism").

Unfortunately, when you inject any kind of racial hatred into a culture (even a hatred of white people), it spreads like wildfire and eventually everyone gets burned.

So much dramatic fiction needs some kind of an award.

Post “fundamental transformation” of America, a white person is forty-times more likely to be murdered by a black person than vice-versa.

Ain’t “fundamental transformation” grand?

Personally, it reignites the terror of being assaulted by a violently crazy black man on public transit. One of the incidents that led me to self-segregate a few decades before Scott Adams felt it necessary.

So whites (or anyone else) can’t be vigilant about their safety? The left wants to defund the police. They want to make the law abiding citizens sitting ducks, then they go around calling whites racist for being vigilant. As usual, having it both ways and the stupid party lets them get away with it.
