I read a while ago somebody wishing (probably jokingly) that a female, black, gay muslim would go on a shooting spree (since it usually seems to be white males). This isn't quite that, but it's halfway there.
There were already lots of incidents of black-on-white murder before which people on the far-right always bring up when trying to justify stopping immigration or allowing racial discrimination in employment. This will just be another to add to their list. The difference is this is far more highly publicised than most cases, so maybe they'll cash in on that to try and drag the general public more to the right. I don't think it will work though, most people in Western countries look at people individually rather than collectively (you pretty much have to, if you look at people collectively then you end up in situations where you disadvantage millions of innocent people because of the actions of a few hundred or thousand), so they'll (hopefully) see this as a problem with that particular man, not with black people as a whole.
