Karmelo Anthony just received 35 years.
A 19-year-old Black young man is now looking at a sentence that will consume most of his adult life. But in the same state, the officers who killed Jordan Edwards, Atatiana Jefferson, and Botham Jean received less time combined than this one teenager will serve alone.
That is not balance. That is a false weight.
Scripture says, “Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.” Proverbs 20:10
When the accused is a Black youth, the system knows how to be severe. When the accused wears a badge, suddenly mercy, context, and restraint appear.
You do not have to argue that Karmelo is innocent to see the injustice in the scales. The issue is not whether crime should be judged. The issue is whether judgment is righteous.
Christ said, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” John 7:24
One young man gets 35 years, while men trusted with badges keep most of their lives after taking Black life.
Remember the name. Remember the number.
Karmelo Anthony. Thirty-five years.
Let that sit with you.
BREAKING: Hunter Biden SHREDS the media's double standard toward the Trump family in one devastating post — and EVERY word is documented.
Hunter Biden just posted something on X that cuts right to the heart of America's broken media landscape — and it's IMPOSSIBLE to argue with.
"So let me get this straight," he wrote. "Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom," referring to the comments the CNN anchor has made about disbelieving some of the claims in Jill Biden’s latest memoir.
"Meanwhile, Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land." TRUE. Over 100,000 Albanians are in the streets. Anti-corruption prosecutors have opened an investigation. Flamingo habitats are being bulldozed. It BARELY registers on mainstream media.
"Don Jr. married the daughter of Epstein's banker." Also TRUE. While Epstein survivors read their FBI abuse reports aloud outside the Justice Department, Pam Bondi refused to answer a even a SINGLE question about Trump and the Epstein files, and DOJ lawyers intervened to make sure she didn't.
"A startup that Donald Jr. fund backs just got a record $620 million Pentagon loan." FACTCHECK: ALSO TRUE. While Trump's own financial disclosures show him trading stock in companies his administration then hands billion-dollar contracts to, Don Jr.'s SHADY investment connections to Pentagon contractors receive almost NO scrutiny from mainstream media.
"Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5 billion in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted." Also TRUE, but that story got almost NO coverage.
And then Hunter Biden delivered the punchline that lands like a sledgehammer: "And I know: 'But what about your paintings, Hunter?'"
HUNTER IS 100% RIGHT: His art sales, laptop, and legal troubles consumed years of breathless media coverage. The Trump children's CORRUPT overseas business deals, foreign investments, Pentagon contracts, and connections to Jeffrey Epstein's associates a free pass.
And while Jake Tapper attacks Jill Biden is being attacked for a book, Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands for a $4 billion resort while his father-in-law runs foreign policy, while raising BILLIONS from shady deals with foreign governments.
There is simply NO comparison!

One dollar

He was 59. No job. No insurance. A growth on his chest. Two ruptured discs.
Calculated that a federal conviction would guarantee him full medical coverage inside prison
The judge sentenced him to 3 years
He got the surgery
He got the treatment
He told reporters on the way out he had no regrets

See, the veiled (or not so veiled) racism here is exactly what is behind a lot of the takes behind Dart's political appearance and Carter's one tweet, two sentence, bewilderment. Dart is standing with his gorgeous girlfriend living his life and Carter is with his MOTHER at an event. I guess that sums it up, huh ... we are supposed to love the good looking white couple and we are supposed to cringe at the black kid, with his Mom, and the fact they are Muslim. And the white football player beating the drum for a racist, anti-immigrant, corrupt, warmongering, pedophile-protecting, Muslim-hating, insurrectionist-rewarding, excuse for a President was just being an American. And the black kid who put up one tweet of disbelief is the immature, bad teammate. Fuck no to that.
