The fatal stabbing of a 66-year-old man in New York City on Monday night is being investigated as a bias crime, according to police.

Authorities today identified the suspect as James Harris Jackson, 28, of Maryland, an Army veteran who'd served in Afghanistan.

Aubry said that Jackson has a deep-seated hatred of black people. Police say he allegedly wrote a manifesto about attacking blacks in New York City.

"It is believed that he was specifically intending to target male blacks for assault," he said. "The reason why he picked New York is because it's the media capital of the world and he wanted to make a statement."

He is in custody and is being charged with murder, police said. Jackson has not yet entered a plea and is expected to be arraigned this evening.

I don't know what to say about this yet other than that it is terrible.

Forgive me, I know I just said that in my post about the attack in London. Maybe tomorrow I'll do better with insight.

This is a fucked-up world.

When I read about someone saying they set out to "make a statement" or "teach [someone] a lesson", I can be sure that posterity and education are on the opposite end of the spectrum. It's a cheap attempt to attach a vague, noble motive to doing something they know is heinous.

Even if this hadn't gone down the same time as the London attack, this story would have gotten run over by most of the press. The body count was too small,the victim was a nobody, and the motivation too common.

Sorry for the cynicism, but Black life goes cheap. The cops found a man and his girlfriend gunned down in their home at 2:30 in the morning. Who were they and why did they have to die? Only the killer knows, but most likely we won't. There's never a shortage of senseless and unprovoked acts of violent murder to steal our attention away.

It's not paranoia when they really are out to get you.

It's big news here in NYC, but then, it happened here. A racist murderer traveling to our city from another state specifically to target random black strangers in midtown -- we're pretty upset about it, I promise, and every local news outlet is covering it.

Since my news feed is obviously picking up that I live in NYC, and also, this would be the kind of story I'd click on, it probably ensures that I get every possible article on it. Most likely my news feed is not representative of the way this story is being covered elsewhere.

I'm genuinely curious for those of you who live elsewhere -- did you hear about this story, outside of my posting an article?

I did, but then my radar is highly attuned to that sort of news. I shared it in my social media feed.

Otherwise? No local coverage, though the radicalized student who crashed his car on the OSU campus and attacked students with a knife, did get referenced after the London copycat terrorist attack.

But another dead Black guy? In NYC? How many does that make this week?

A quick update -- sources are reporting that the murderer planned a larger attack in Times Square. This one was "practice." www.nydailynews.com/new-york/white-supremacist-killer-planned-carnage-times-square-article-1.3006719?cache=false%25253fq%2525253dxss%252527sivgb%2525253e%25252522%2525253c%252527%2525253bnhbc

This keeps getting better...or worse, depending on your perspective.

The white supremacist accused of fatally stabbing a black man with a sword in New York City said he would have rather killed a younger — or older and more "successful" black victim.

"I'm sorry I killed that man," James Harris Jackson told the New York Daily News at the Rikers Island jail on Sunday. "It was pitch black, I picked a dark place. I didn't know he was elderly."

Jackson, 28, told the newspaper he would have killed "a young thug" or "a successful older black man with blondes ... people you see in Midtown."

The Baltimore man is accused of taking a bus to New York City specifically to kill black men. Police say he confessed to randomly picking out victim Timothy Caughman on the street and stabbing him to death with a 2-foot sword.

As 66-year-old Caughman bent over a trash bin around the corner from his home, Jackson attacked him from behind, fatally stabbing him, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said Jackson, an Army veteran, intended the killing of Caughman to be "a practice run" and was planning on killing more black people in New York's Times Square.

Jackson told the Daily News his goal was to force women in interracial relationships to reconsider.

He said he hoped to make white women think: "Well, if that guy feels so strongly about it, maybe I shouldn't do it."

Newsflash: A Black man caught with a White woman used to be a crime punishable by death and worse than death. In the twisted little minds of sickos like James Jackson or Dylan Roof, it still is. Daring to stray out of your lane and forgetting your place can quite literally cost you your life.

Get Out isn't just a movie. It's a terrifying reality.
