Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for stabbing and killing Austin Metcalf.
BLM activists and much of the Black community are now losing their minds, claiming the justice system is "racist" and that Karmelo was prosecuted simply because he's Black.
For starters, that's an incredibly low-IQ way of looking at the world.
But more than that, these are the same people who spend every day lecturing the public about white privilege, systemic oppression, and social justice, yet somehow always find themselves turning violent criminals into martyrs and convincing themselves that those criminals represent the defining moral issue of our time.
To me, the greatest privilege is a Black man believing he can show up to a school he was suspended from, stab and kill a teenager, admit to it, try to play the self-defense card, get his bond lowered, get released from jail, raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for his so-called "legal battle," then spend that money on a $900,000 home in a luxurious gated community, reportedly buy his mother a nose job, probably a few pairs of sneakers, and then spend the next year and a half trash-talking Austin Metcalf and spreading lies about him, all while Austin Metcalf's father was placed under a gag order and wasn't allowed to publicly defend his own son.
And then, after all of that, instead of assembling a world-class legal team, he ends up with a public defender because the family burned through the money that was raised.
Those are not the actions of people who truly believe the system is stacked against them. Those are the actions of people who have become so comfortable manipulating the language of victimhood that they start mistaking it for immunity.
If his family genuinely believed racism was going to determine the outcome of this case, every dollar raised would have gone toward building the strongest defense possible. Elite attorneys. Expert witnesses. Jury consultants. Private investigators. Media advisers. Every available resource.
Instead, they behaved like people who never seriously believed they were in danger of losing.
Because those are not the actions of people terrified of a racist justice system.
Those are the actions of people who believed the rules didn't apply to themโ and that screaming "racism" would be enough to avoid accountability when they finally did.
35 years isn't enough. I hope Karmelo Anthony rots in prison for what he did.

Jan. 1, 2018 - Alabama DL DaโRon Payne leaves his mark in the AllState Sugar Bowl victory over Clemson.
Payne reeled in an interception and rumbled into the end zone for a receiving TD.
Do you remember this game? If so, what were you thinking about these two plays? ๐ค
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 โ 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 โ regardless of guilt or innocence โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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.
@AlafrigginBama I don't expect a 1000 yard rusher anymore. And thats okay, to be honest. Bama just needs to be able to effectively run the ball, that it.
@AlafrigginBama Not you, Cotton, but everyone else in the world seems to ignore the fact the DeBoer is aware of this. He he's it even more. They are trying to fix it. People also acting like Bama's run game wasn't starting to struggle under Saban's last couple years. Facts are facts.
