Black Americans should be deeply ashamed of the way many people have responded to the Karmelo Anthony case.

If a white teenager had brought a knife to a school event, escalated a confrontation, and fatally stabbed a Black teenager in the heart, there would be nonstop media coverage, protests, public outrage, and demands for accountability. There would be no shortage of people calling it evidence of racism and demanding justice.

But when the races are reversed, suddenly we’re told to ignore the obvious, suspend judgment, and accept every excuse offered in defense of the person who did the stabbing.

What makes this especially troubling is that many of the people demanding his release seem more concerned with the race of the accused than with the fact that a young man lost his life. The focus should be on the actions that occurred, not the skin color of the people involved.

Justice cannot depend on the race of the victim or the race of the accused. Either we believe in equal standards or we don’t.

A young man is dead. Another young man is facing a murder charge. The facts should matter. The evidence should matter. The law should matter. No one should receive a different level of sympathy, outrage, or accountability because of race.

Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Justice should be blind, not selective. No more two-tiered standards based on race.

Bro, this is actually a really good point.

Why do Muslims have so many refugees?

They pray five times a day, claim their God is the greatest, and say Islam is the perfect religion. So why are so many Muslim countries completely messed up, with people fleeing to other countries just to survive?

If their God is so powerful, why can’t He fix their own countries? Why do they have to run away to non-Muslim countries and then demand special treatment once they get there?

It’s kinda funny when you think about it. They keep saying their faith is superior, but the results on the ground tell a completely different story.

Maybe instead of praying and then escaping to other people’s countries, they should focus on actually making their own societies work first.

[Reverend Jordan Wells @WellsJorda89710]

Black Americans should be deeply ashamed for racializing this case and demanding Karmelo Anthony’s release.

If a White boy had stabbed a Black boy in the heart at a school track meet, there would be nonstop marches in the streets, riots, viral outrage, and endless calls to ‘end racism.’

But when the races are reversed — a Black teen brings a knife to the event, escalates, and fatally stabs an unarmed White teen — suddenly it’s all ‘self-defense’ and excuses.

This hypocrisy has to stop. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Justice shouldn’t come with a skin color. No more two-tiered standards based on race.”

NO white person alive today owned slaves. Teach your kids that.

NO black person alive today was born a slave. Teach your kids that.

Not all white people owned slaves back then. Teach your kids that.

Millions of white people fought and died to end slavery. Teach your kids that.

People should not inherit guilt from their ancestors. Teach your kids that.

People should not inherit victimhood from their ancestors. Teach your kids that.

You are responsible for your own actions, not the actions of people who lived 200 years ago. Teach your kids that.

America is not perfect, but it is not uniquely evil. Teach your kids that.

The West is responsible for some of humanity's greatest advances in freedom, science, medicine, and prosperity. Teach your kids that.

Loving your country is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Wanting secure borders is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Wanting safe communities is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Wanting merit over quotas is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Questioning political narratives is not racism. Teach your kids that.

People should be judged by their character, not their skin color. Teach your kids that.

History should be taught honestly, not used as a weapon. Teach your kids that.

A nation that teaches its children to hate their heritage will not survive. Teach your kids that.

Your country is your home. Protecting it is not something to be ashamed of. Teach your kids that.

You do not owe an apology for being born. Teach your kids that.

Never let fear of being called names stop you from speaking the truth as you see it. Teach your kids that.

How do I know the media is brainwashing people?

Obama's ICE Chief received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.

Trump's ICE Chief is called a Nazi.

It is the same person.....Tom Homan....

The only difference? The narrative.

@bamagirlrtr72 @Timcast @DoctorTurtleboy No, moron. He's deliberately and blatantly telling people not to follow or listen SO PEOPLE WILL GO AND FOLLOW AND LISTEN! How do you not get how this works?

Donald Trump is the first racist in history to have...

...dated a black woman

....deported an ex-Nazi

...upgraded MLK's birthplace to a national historic park

...posthumously pardoned legendary boxer Jack Johnson

...kissed the Western Wall

...loves his Jewish grandchildren

...established an Opportunity & Revitalization Council to restore black neighborhoods

...signed a major criminal reform bill

…granted Alice Johnson clemency

…loaned his personal jet to Nelson Mandela

...declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel

...moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem

...overseen the lowest black unemployment in history

...denounced David Duke over 20 years ago

...been given a lifetime achievement award after paving a way for blacks to enter corporate America...

Worst. Racist. Ever.

The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred — not even the year with any precision.
That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there.
Without a temporal anchor, no defendant — regardless of guilt or innocence — can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level.
Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account — the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline.
The case proceeded anyway.
The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit — where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence.
Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict.
An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority — whatever its formal status.

Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.

@Sofia50020Sofia Sorry, but fuck those teenagers and their families. Raise better kids!

[SaltyGoat @SaltyGoat17]

The word "democracy" does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, or the Bill of Rights

That was done for a reason by our Founding Fathers...

Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution guarantees "to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government."

In fact, they warned against pure/direct democracy, which they associated with instability, factionalism, and "mob rule."

So understand what the Democrats are doing every time they say "Our Democracy"... They WANT mob rule!!

And THAT is why we are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!!!

I talk a lot about being raised in the 60s and 70s because it’s important.

It was a world where:

Families didn't break up over politics.

Actors didn't tell us who to vote for.

Movies and TV shows didn't try to depress us about our lives.

Cartoons didn't try to turn us gay.

We never heard the n-word or f-bombs coming out of our radios.

I could ride public transportation without worrying about being kidnapped by pedophiles.

I could go to school without getting jumped.

Nobody told us what words we were allowed to say.

There were no TRANS kids.

Nobody told you their pronouns.

A man was a man, a woman was a woman, and nobody pretended otherwise.

Nobody lost their job or their home or their family or their friends for merely stating biological facts.

We respected cops, teachers, and the flag.

We celebrated CHRISTMAS, not Kwanzaa.

Nobody was "offended" by EVERYTHING.

If anybody WAS offended by something, it was THEIR PERSONAL PROBLEM, not a national crisis.

Call me old-fashioned and outdated but I really miss those days.

So God, if you're listening, this is my prayer:

Take us back to the good old days of American civility, PLEASE.

AMEN.

[LadyValor @lady_valor_07]

GOOD QUESTION !!?

[Wesley Hunt @WesleyHuntTX]

A Democrat congressional candidate refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance and repeatedly turned her back on the American flag at Sacramento City Council meetings.

My message for Mai Vang and to anyone who thinks about serving in elected office:

That flag is NOT a prop.

It represents the sacrifice of generations of Americans who bled, fought, and died so that free people could disagree openly in this country.

And the least we can do, the absolute bare minimum, is stand for 30 seconds and say the Pledge of Allegiance.

That flag is the one thing that is supposed to unite all of us.

So yes, we should say the pledge.
In Every committee.
Every public meeting.

Every generation of Americans has stood up willing to fight and die for that flag.

The least we can do is stand up and HONOR it.
