"We lost a sizeable part of population after Slavery because those people starved out, because people could not own us" - Yvette Carnell
🗣YES THEY DID!
The gag order lifted. And the mask came off with it.
After sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf went live on TikTok and was caught on a racist rant about Karmelo Anthony, including calling him a “watermelon felon,” saying Black people get “all the free sh*t we give you,” claiming “400 years ago someone sold you to us,” and attacking Black fathers for not being involved in their children’s lives.
This is the same man who stood in that courtroom and said “this was never about race.”
The prosecution struck every qualified Black juror from the panel. A gag order silenced public response for nearly a year. And the moment the muzzle came off, this is who he showed us he was.
Karmelo Anthony did not get a fair trial. And now the victim’s own father has confirmed in his own words what this community has known from the beginning.

Never forget.
“So how do Latinos feel if there’s a big investment just in the African American community, and they’re looking around and saying, ‘We’re poor as well. What kind of help are we getting?’”
- Barack Obama
Black Americans have no culture, right?
Watch all these Africans usurp Juneteenth.
A Black American holiday I’ve celebrated since a kid.
A Black American holiday most Africans never knew existed.
Watch them find anyway to leech off our pride and history.
Got my flag 💪🏿
Besides being offensive, this is also very very stupid
The “Nigerian accent” he's describing is a Nigerian ENGLISH accent
Black Americans were speaking their particular dialect of English before most Nigerians even heard of the language so his point makes no sense
Black Americans are hands down the most hated group on the planet.
Flesh traders mocking the descendants of the people they sold into slavery is next level diabolical.
As the song goes…
In wake of the Karmelo Anthony and Rick Chow trials, I hope those who accuse ADOS of being divisive or xenophobic are reconsidering their position.

We need is a year round campaign to protect Black American youth the way there are campaigns to protect immigrants, people of Jewish ancestry, Asian Americans, and LGBTQ.
When can we coordinate a community meeting?
