The Role of White Vigilantism in Jordan Neely's Homicide and America's Unraveling.

The killing of Jordan Neely, a Black man who was strangled to death on a New York subway, has reignited concerns of white vigilantism against Black Americans. Neely, who had a history of mental illness and was homeless, was killed by a man who put him in a chokehold for several minutes. The incident has reminded many of other killings of Black Americans, such as Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery, and the feeling of power that comes with taking matters into their own hands. The pervasiveness of white superiority ideology is seen as a contributing factor to these killings.
