Let me be clear about what just happened in the Karmelo Anthony verdict. Because the celebration is traveling and the discrepancies aren't.
FACT: Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years.
FACT: The jury deliberated for less than 3 hours.
FACT: There were zero Black jurors on this jury.
FACT: The prosecution used peremptory strikes to remove 100% of eligible Black jurors while keeping a white educator after claiming they didn't want educators on the jury.
FACT: Karmelo Anthony never stood up. The confrontation happened while he was seated. Austin Metcalf was standing over him.
FACT: The jury had the option to choose manslaughter. They chose murder.
FACT: The "sudden passion" defense which would have capped the sentence at 2 to 20 years was rejected.
FACT: Karmelo Anthony's mother was the only witness called during the punishment phase. She asked for mercy. The prosecutor responded: "Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent."
FACT: Karmelo Anthony will be eligible for parole after serving half his sentence, roughly 17.5 years. He is 19 years old.
Now ask yourself, if the races and sizes were reversed, if Karmelo was 6'1" standing over a seated smaller white teenager who reached up with a knife, does this even go to trial?
You already know the answer.
Say his name. Karmelo Anthony.
Stay Dangerous.

Hitting the playoff game tying 3 to force OT in the same game you threw an alley oop to your literal son is more impressive in and of itself than 6 rings.
A white woman thought she had the perfect argument against reparations... how can Black people prove their lineage if they don’t even know who their dad is 😭 One sentence. Two myths. Both destroyed by actual history and federal data 👀 The US
DL Hughley: “They fired all the competent black people. What do you think would happen when you take a pedophile rapist felon and put him with a drunk podcaster from Fox? What did you think would happen? The only cabinet he should be in is a liquor cabinet”
@breakfastclubam@SwaeLee@netflix stop it Swae Lee you def a trump supporter and now you tryna denounce it before the shit blow up Yall kill me with the " we didn't know Trump was gonna do this" yes you did but you didnt care
@BigPop610@XconMedia@unclelukereal1 False equivalence to say both parties are same even if neither is perfect. To discuss otherwise is intellectually lazy
D. L. Hughley on Trump: “I’m very proud I’ve never voted for a president who raped women and children. I never voted for a president who defrauded charities. I never voted for a president that celebrated the death of somebody. And half this country can’t say that”
“To be in the GOAT conversation, you can’t just say 6 rings because it only started with 1. Now when we talk about other players, you tear down their careers. LeBron is the most hated, and he has two.”
@NoChillGilZero breaks down the issues with the biased GOAT debate starting with MJ.
Jake Paul: "If you don’t like ICE then you can’t call 911 when you’re in trouble"
Me: If you didn't trust doctors during COVID then you can't see a doctor when you get a double broken jaw after you were knocked out during a boxing match.
