I don’t “hate” anyone. I love everyone and treat them well if they treat me well. I just don’t want to live amongst people who care so much about skin color they want myself, my loved ones, and my kids dead…while taking advantage of and destroying the best, most beautiful and advanced parts of society that my ancestors built. And in no way, shape, or form does that make me any less of a Christian. I want to have my own area with my people, and let them have their own area with their people. Not separated by skin color, either. Separated by culture. It’s obvious we can’t all coexist anymore.
The Karmelo Anthony ordeal boils down to the simple fact that a non-trivial number of black people believe that they should be governed under a sovereign hood code, and any white person who is in proximity to a black person consents to be governed under hood code. This means that any interpersonal escalation, regardless of the degree of escalation, creates the grounds for the exercise of deadly force to defend one’s “manhood.”
They do not think they should be required to submit to the law of the white man. If Karmelo were being tried in a court applying “hood code” he would be completely innocent because he murdered in defense of his manhood. So it is not that they are just pretending they believe Karmelo is actually innocent, they genuinely do believe he is innocent, but under a different set of “laws.” They therefore understand this to be a “modern day lynching” in the sense that Karmelo is being forced to submit to the law of the white man, and therefore his right to murder on behalf of his manhood, which they do sincerely believe is his right, was “violated.”
Can you believe Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of lentils? Seems a bit far fetched to me…
Boomers: look at all the wonderful food diversity brings!
This is so devastating. Imagine being a black parent tonight. How do you protect your children? If they go out and stab just one person, they might go to prison. It’s like a black man in America can’t even murder anyone anymore. Unimaginable. Jim Crow all over again. I’m furious.
Re: Karmelo Anthony and his defenders:
Obviously there is some blind black tribal loyalty involved, but I think there’s something else and arguably worse.
The facts seem to be this: Karmelo invaded another track team’s tent. He did this to assert dominance. When asked to leave, he issued threats: “touch me and see what happens.” After repeatedly telling him that he was not welcome, and in response to provocation, Austin Metcalf pushed him, trying to get him to comply with basic social norms. Karmelo, no doubt delighted that he had now received permission for escalation under his own code, stabbed Austin to death.
The black defenders of Karmelo believe this is how society should operate: an endless war of all against all to assert dominance, escalating when one’s assertions are rebuffed. They’re mad that the justice system got involved, because in their minds this is the proper way to conduct business: omnipresent dominance signaling, inevitably leading to violence.
They genuinely don’t understand that other people don’t operate according to those rules. And they certainly don’t understand that our rules, by drastically reducing friction and needless cost, are the very reason for the disparities in group power they complain about. We are polite internally and can thus exert greater collective power externally. A few Karmelos in the mix destroys this system.
But they don’t care that running things their way would be the end of civilization, the end of their cell phones and EBT and air conditioning, because they don’t understand it. They don’t understand anything about the modern world. They are lost here, confused. This state of affairs is not sustainable.
