To the Black people coming after me for not standing with Karmelo Anthony:
I don’t have to support him just because he’s Black.
I don’t owe him allegiance.
I don’t owe him loyalty.
I don’t owe him silence.
A kid is dead. A family is destroyed. And yes, that child happened to be white.
Too many of you are only defending Karmelo because he is Black. If the races were reversed, a lot of you would be screaming from the rooftops and demanding justice every single day.
So miss me with the fake outrage.
Being Black does not mean I have to defend every Black person accused of doing something evil. Being Black does not mean I have to ignore right and wrong. Being Black does not mean I have to celebrate or excuse the death of a child.
I stand on morals, not skin color.
You can be mad at me all you want, but I will never support turning a dead child into a race war just because the accused is Black and the victim was white.
Wrong is wrong.
And I said what I said.
