btw this happened in my hometown at my high school (well i was in 8th grade at the time) and im 26 now and this poor family STILL doesn’t have answers. his poor mama has been fighting every single day for justice to no prevail :(
Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison after being convicted by a jury with no Black jurors. Whatever one believes about the verdict itself, we cannot ignore the larger truth that many Americans are wrestling with: justice is still being administered through a system with a long history of racial disparity in sentencing and punishment.
This requires more than reaction. It requires moral honesty about who is deemed dangerous, whose pain is centered, and how differently accountability has often been applied in America. If we want justice worthy of its name, it cannot be shaped by race.

I'm really no longer interested in softening my rough edges for anyone. The world is literally spiraling and ya'll worried about if someone thinks you are too forward, too earnest or too blunt. I lost so many years trying to make losers feel comfortable.
