If history is any indication, justice will not be blind—Karmelo Anthony is O.J. Simpson all over again.
At this point, Karmelo Anthony’s family has raised more than $450,000 on the back of his crime (which reminds me to never use GiveSendGo again). They’re praising him, acting like he’s a victim who suffering under an unjust legal system:
A quick scroll through the fundraiser’s comments reveals that a sizable portion of the black community agrees, saying this is what the “colonizers” get—let’s be honest, they didn’t know or use that term until the white leftist academics started propagandizing with it—and noting that the FBA is behind him “no matter what.” (FBA stands for Foundational Black Americans—but not foundational black Americans like Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, or Wanjiru Njoya because FBA is a progressive socio-political movement that forms black identity around the long-abolished system of slavery.)
“No matter” if Karmelo is guilty as sin, “no matter” if video comes out showing that the stabbing of Austin Metcalf is even more heinous and murderous than we already think it is, and “no matter” if Karmelo goes on to live a life of crime—he’s got their support, because to a decent portion of the black population, Karmelo Anthony on the defense is all about race, and it’s all just “payback” to the “honkeys,” another term seen frequently used across online spaces in regards to Austin Metcalf’s death at Anthony’s hands:
Now where have we seen this before?
Oh that’s right, on October 3, 1995 when a majority-black jury acquitted O.J. Simpson for crimes he so obviously committed.
Recall the moment that the verdict was announced, Lionel Cryer, one of the black male jurors, stood up and raised his fist in the black power stance; it was later revealed that Cryer was a “former” member of the Black Panther group.
Also recall juror Cassie Bess who said “90%” of the jury believed Simpson’s acquittal was “payback” for what happened to Rodney King. When asked if Bess believed this was morally “right,” Bess just shrugged nonchalantly, completely unconcerned with the disgusting lack of justice for Simpson’s victims. Simpson was going to walk, “no matter” what the evidence and testimonies proved.
How are Bess’s sentiments any different from the hordes of black Americans today rallying behind another murderer, all while announcing their support is specifically because honkeys deserve a little payback?
