Evil and violent white racism in tragic killing of African-American in New York City, USA in March 2017, which case is under trial now, must be called out and condemned unequivocally

Last updated on 24th Sept. 2018

As a social media writer who tries hard to promote the values of Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Ethics), Shanti (Peace) and Prema (Love) through my writings, I see one of my tasks as writing, at times, about bad and evil which have taken place in the world that is rooted in a bad and evil ideology. Trying to simply ignore such acts rooted in a bad and evil ideology will not make it go away! It has to be exposed for what it is and condemned as bad and evil as a way to counter people getting trapped in that evil ideology and then doing evil acts. Therefore I am putting up this post. Readers who can't handle reading about such things may please skip reading the rest of this post.

Sword Killing Was ‘Practice’ for Racial Terrorism, Man Told Police, https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/20/nyregion/fatal-stabbing-race-attack-police-interview.html, 20th Sept. 2018

The article states that James Harris Jackson of Baltimore, USA is a white Army veteran who had stabbed a poor black 66-year-old man, Mr. Caughman, to death in New York City in March 2017. In the New York Supreme Court, the police played one hour of a two hour interrogation video of Jackson on 22nd March 2017.

According to that video, Jackson intended to "influence the national conversation" by killing blacks in New York City with his killing of Caughman being his first act. Fortunately, he did not carry out further killings and surrendered. Jackson said, "If I just stab another person, what difference does that make? The point’s already been made".

When Jackson was asked whether he felt remorse, Jackson said, "No".."He’s a homeless black guy."

Ravi: My God! This is terrifying level of evil! The article also states that Jackson is a "graduate of a private Quaker high school in Baltimore known for its philosophy of nonviolence"!

So the school must have attempted to teach him good values.

How did he forget the good values taught him by his school and get caught up in such evil! Who are the people who taught him to hate African-Americans in this horrible and evil way? Are they freely teaching this evil ideology even today? These, to me, are the vital questions that New York Supreme Court should try to uncover and share with the public. That will allow the US government as well as US society to consider ways and means to counter such evil racist ideology of killing African-Americans. Note that in this case it involved African-Americans as targets but perhaps it is a more general evil racist ideology of killing or getting rid of non-white people in the USA.

USA must never forget the evil committed against African-Americans as well as Native Americans in the past in USA. USA also must never forget the monstrous things that evil Hitler and his evil Nazis did to Jews and gypsies and others who did not fit in with the Nazi Aryan supremacist view. USA must see to it that it does not go down the slippery slope of white supremacist violent racism as that will eventually but surely, bring it tremendous pain like the pain and stigma that Germany suffered for decades due to Hitler's Nazis and which pain and stigma continues to be a shadow on modern Germany even today.

This horrible and evil violent white racism so clearly shown by Jackson's ideology and his violent killing of an innocent elderly poor African-American in New York City must be combated vigorously.

My descent into America's neo-Nazi movement & how I got out | Christian Picciolini | TEDxMileHigh, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSH5EY-W5oM, 20 min. 30 seconds. published on 20th Dec. 2017.

Main part of description of youtube video:
At 14-years-old, Christian Picciolini went from naive teenager to white supremacist, and soon, the leader of America’s first neo-Nazi skinhead gang. How was he radicalized, and how did he ultimately get out? In this courageous talk, Christian shares a surprising and counterintuitive solution to hate in all forms. After leaving the white-supremacist skinhead movement that he helped build in the 1980s and 90s, Christian Picciolini co-founded Life After Hate, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people disengage from violent extremism. His memoir, White American Youth: My Descent into America's Most Violent Hate Movement—and How I Got Out (Hachette), which details his involvement, and eventual disengagement, from the early American white nationalist movement, will be published on December 26, 2017. Christian lives in Chicago.
