The problem is, if a mentally ill, violent man is only a threat to *white* comfort, if it's in the service of white supremacy to try and stop this man before he murders innocent people on a train, what does that say about a society that would be run by black people?
Would violent, mentally ill people be so commonplace in a society without white supremacy that people wouldn't be scared? Are black people normally comfortable around this kind of dysfunction?
As far as I can see, the idea that only white people would be concerned about this obvious societal problem suggest that black people are more inclined to accept or exhibit behaviour like this.
