We have to remember there was written laws (The Virginia Slave Code of 1680, South Carolina Negro Act of 1740, Massachusetts Law of 1708, Louisiana Territorial Code Noir of 1806, etc) that explicitly stated that BLACK PEOPLE could not defend themselves against white aggressors under any circumstance. The spirit of those laws exist today, this is the REAL reason today's white supremacists are saying self defense laws don't apply to Karmelo Anthony
Today's MoT
The white media's been lying about the Karmelo Anthony self-defense case from the very beginning. They're so desperate to see a conviction they're saying things about the case that didn't happen.

How can anyone demand public confidence in a judicial system that systematically exonerates the executioners of fleeing Black victims under the guise of "self-defense," yet hands Karmelo a murder conviction for surviving an unprovoked physical assault? The structural asymmetry is undeniably deliberate.
The good thing about these racially motivated verdicts like this bogus murder verdict against Karmelo, is it removes the illusion that we are NOT under a system of white supremacy..
Too many people seem to forget that reality. Thats why we have to replace the system of white supremacy with a system of justice
🚩No cameras allowed during the trial.
🚩No Blacks allowed on the jury.
🚩No impartial judge.
🚩And a suspect defense lawyer.
The outcome was never truly in doubt. This wasn't a trial. It was a good old fashioned Texas lynching.
The facts from court:
🔹 Karmelo has epilepsy (the CONTINUED assault could have triggered a fatal seizure).
🔹 The massive Metcalf brothers were towering over him.
🔹 Karmelo was SEATED the entire time.
How can you be the "aggressor" while remaining seated, when YOUR life is on the line? This is 100% self-defense.
Question for all of our white brethren…
In YOUR opinion, what scenario is a Black person EVER justified in using lethal self defense against a WHItE assailant?
(Deflective responses of insults and trolling is NOT an answer)
#KarmeloAnthony
Nobody should be found guilty for defending themselves against an attacker with a 3-inch pocket knife. They had to use an all-white jury, a compromised judge, and unreliable witnesses to secure the guilty verdict.
Early WRITTEN laws openly stated that Black ppl were forbidden to defend themselves from white attacks. This is still practiced in common law today. Black people are NEVER supposed to be justified in lethal self-defense against a white assailant.
The jury in the Karmelo case proved that white supremacist common law is still enforced
This Karmelo Anthony case has all the white supremacists on-code with one another..
Because they are all falling back on the "Im-white-and-I-say-so" rule that governs systemic white supremacy
