Rich Chow was not guilty, but Karmelo Anthony was. If that doesn’t show you the state of the world and why we HAVE to start showing up to perform our civic duties, idk what else to say.
Early WRITTEN laws openly stated that Black ppl were forbidden to defend themselves from white attacks. This is still practiced in common law today. Black people are NEVER supposed to be justified in lethal self-defense against a white assailant.
The jury in the Karmelo case proved that white supremacist common law is still enforced
This "Im-white-and-I-say-so" guilty verdict of Karmelo proved the so called "self defense" laws are governed and enforced to protect WHITE SUPREMACY..
So we are not surprised
Juneteenth marks the day freedom finally reached the last enslaved Black Americans in 1865 — two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. As attacks on Black history grow louder, honoring Juneteenth is more important than ever. Freedom is worth celebrating! Happy Juneteenth!
‼️NEW INFO: The TRUTH About Karmelo — This from Kevin Haynes of facebook.
Let’s Set the Record Straight!
Enough with the misinformation. Let’s talk about facts.
1️⃣ It’s NORMAL for students from different schools to gather under another school’s tent. Karmelo had friends there—he wasn’t trespassing or looking for trouble.
2️⃣ The claim that one of the twins had never seen Karmelo before? A blatant lie.
3️⃣ No student has the right to remove another student from a SCHOOL-OWNED tent. The school owns the tent—not the twins.
4️⃣ Karmelo is a track athlete. The twins are NOT. He wasn’t even expecting to see them there.
Now, here’s what they don’t want you to know:
⚠️ The twins didn’t just “ask him to leave.” They tried to JUMP him.
⚠️ Before attacking him, they tried to take his belongings, BROKE his phone, and STOMPED on it.
⚠️ The twins are KNOWN BULLIES.
So ask yourself: If two 200+ lb attackers came at YOUR child, what would you expect them to do?
And yet, despite everything, the media is trying to destroy Karmelo’s name. They keep posting a picture of him with an AIRSOFT GUN—not even a real firearm—to manipulate public perception. Why? Because they want to paint him as a criminal instead of a victim.
Let’s talk about WHO Karmelo really is:
✅ A respectful, well-mannered young man
✅ A 4.0 student with multiple college offers
✅ A kid with ZERO criminal history—not even a blemish
✅ A son raised in a loving home by parents who taught him right from wrong
A life was lost, and that is tragic. But what’s also tragic is the way the media is twisting this story to fit their own agenda.
Karmelo defended himself against violent aggressors. That is NOT a crime.
Do NOT let the media race-bait you. Do NOT let them manipulate the facts.
Sick of a nation where white supremacist males wearing body armor, carrying assault rifles, and guilty of murdering multiple people are arrested by police without a scratch, yet Black, unarmed males stopped for traffic violations are regularly murdered by them.

I'm extremely hurt & outraged that my beautiful Black American (Freedmen) community members were gunned down by a white racist in #BuffaloNY
We must no longer blow past others murdering us. We must rise up & unite. We will no longer be killed!

Oh wow....
I'm glad we gave her roses before she passed, but Black women shouldn't have to wait dang near the end of their lives to get the applause they deserve.
Those are just some of my thoughts. I have a lot of them.
