James Harris Jackson #racist nydailynews.com

Most chillingly, Jackson said he had traveled to New York from Baltimore intending to kill numerous black men, imagining that the bloodshed would deter white women from interracial relationships. “‘Well, if that guy feels so strongly about it, maybe I shouldn’t do it,’” he said, imagining how he wanted a white woman to think.

Jackson said he grew up in an “almost all-white” area outside of Baltimore. “My family is as liberal as they come ... typical liberal Democrats,” he said.

His grandfather in Louisiana was “very pro-integration” and had crosses burned on his lawn, he said.

Jackson said he had his first racist thoughts when he was just 3. As he grew older, he only shared his views with “like-minded people” online, he said. He mentioned the website Daily Stormer — which was also frequented by Roof, who was sentenced to death for killing nine black worshipers in 2015.

“The white race is being eroded. ... No one cares about you. The Chinese don’t care about you, the blacks don’t care about you,” he said.

...

Jackson had a sick regret about his victim, who was chosen at random. “I didn’t know he was elderly,” he said. He would have rather killed “a young thug” or “a successful older black man with blonds ... people you see in Midtown. These younger guys that put white girls on the wrong path.
