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.”

What a pantload.

If blacks want a race war, they sure are going about it the right way and they are eventually going to get it.

And not like it very much.

no mention of black man wearing back pack that helped restrain Neely’s arms to help prevent him from hurting himself or others

What a piece of sh## this guy is, there was a black man involved but you will never know him or his name, just like there was a black man involved with the “I cant breathe” idol. These black racists need to be called out as soon as they open their sh## spewing mouths

What are we supposed to do? I suppose someone could have socked Neely between the eyes.

Can they prove the Marine intended to kill the guy?

What about Chicago on any particular weekend?

More blacks are killed by blacks than killed by whites.

Apparently getting killed by other blacks is not an issue for them.

No, the biggest “ever-present threat to black Americans” is another black.

Why does one accidental killing by a white guy inspire more terror than 1,000 murders by wanna-be gangstahs?

I don’t accept NBC as a reliable source for what black people believe. Would they report an opposite finding if their investigation supported it?

I'm sure black people are far more afraid of other blacks harming them, than, they are of white people, harming them.

Is there some obligation to be a victim or stand by while others are assaulted?

Kinda like how White and Asian folks feel when we witness the killings of our people by Black youth, teens, and aspiring rappers.

The beating of this white man by the black mob is a deposit in the bank of consequences.

Warning: graphic violence

BS heading. Black Americans have not weighed in on this issue. It’s just the race hustlers.
