    Jeet Heer Retweeted Lee Fang

    On a Youtube video the shooter said, “[N-words] should be wiped off the planet, even though I am one." IOW, whatever Black identity ideology he adhered to had been supplanted by anti-Black identity, or, more accurately, that ideology mattered less than mental healthhttps://twitter.com/lhfang/status/1514274294968512514 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Lee FangVerified account @lhfang
    The Brooklyn shooter suspect has a long history of black identity extremism, like lots of mass shooters. But many leftists simultaneously argue that this ideology doesn’t exist & FBI should ignore it *AND* if it does exist police are powerless to stop it. Kind of a contradiction.

        what the heck is "black identity extremism"? Sounds made up.

        Based on the recent videos I've seen, his ideology did matter, but I would describe it as "post-Hotep". maintaining the misogyny, racial essentialism, and xenophobia of reactionary Black nationalism, but rejecting its vision of Black liberation / pride / power in total despair

        Deep political despair, a sense of injustice twisted through a worldview that portrays the individual as facing an impenetrable edifice of social alienation in total isolation, is a pattern in mass shootings https://permanentcrisis.blogspot.com/2013/02/facing-killer-on-murderous-suicidal.html …

        What was the context in which that comment was made? It may seem counterintuitive but pro-black/black nationalist types will give some of the harshest critiques of black people.

        He also may be making a distinction between n*ggas and black people. Not sure without the context

        Much more sensational if you present the shooter as some monster motivated by anti-white hatred than someone who slipped through the cracks of poorly funded state system....
