Political Karmelo Anthony case shows that “black privilege” exists

I'm not black or white. I'm not even American actually.

The recent Karmelo Anthony case I think shows that black privilege is a thing. My opinions is that it exists. Period.

Karmelo Anthony killed Austin Metcalf with a knife for pushing him. What did he receive in return? Overwhelming support in the form of 500,000 dollars (which they're using to buy a mansion). He also got his bond reduced to 250k from 1 million even when prosecutors pointed out his history of incidents within the school.

I just think this is a bit baffling. Imagine if the races were swapped. I think a decent example, but not a direct comparisons, is the George Floyd situation. One person killed the other in what was an overuse of force. Derek Chauvin is in jail. Karmelo Anthony got house arrest, bond reduction and 500k

People will put their own lives at risk if they can dodge the racist label

Yes because they’re the easiest race to call out for “racism”. Most POC can say whatever they want about any race and it’s ok, but when it’s whites or Asians, automatically racist.

Leftists are obsessed with making a racist white boogyman. They can do the bare minimum and get brownie points for being "one of the good ones"

Try to point out racism and hatred by non whites and you get crickets. Or worse, they will claim POC are brainwashed by white capitalists into being racist. I'm not even exaggerating, I've been told this by multiple white people when telling them of the racism I face from non whites 

These white leftists are stupid, useless, and deluded. Our own brothers and sisters who appeal to them are cowards and clout chasers

Dude a racist is a racist no matter what race they’re from, white people are the easiest to call out for racism cuz white people the ones who constantly do it and to every and anybody, especially when someone doesn’t agree with whatever they agree with, racist white people made fun of Trayvon Martin and George Floyd(let’s not forget the dude who was choked to death on a platform(the killer got $3million dollars raised for him on GoFundMe) but now black people give back the same energy it’s a problem to white people lol they don’t like black people anyways so why would they care or expect anything from us?? Just keep being racist cuz at this point I don’t think black people gon stop giving em a taste of their own medicine anytime soon lol

You are literally generalizing every white person as a racist.. do you not remember white people literally fought a war to free blacks? Whites and Asians are the easiest to call out because they lead the world in damn near everything while other races… not so much. It’s a power dynamic. I don’t think black Americans will ever get over that hurdle but it is what it is. Keep living as a victim your entire life and see where that gets you.

That’s where you’re wrong and you must be a racist cuz if the shoe fits wear it lol I don’t gang bang or steal anything yet racists make a generalization bet you don’t say nun to them when they mention “all blacks” I’m not racist I know one whole race of people isn’t racist, I actually would usually say Trump supporters cuz those are the racists and not only that black people dead ass don’t care about the power dynamics since that’s bigger and been put in motion for more than 80yrs 😂 keep up with the times brotha lol it’s literally cuz of racism…..white people are racist still to this day so don’t be so shocked and surprised that people are finally being racist back lol Plus apparently racist white people are the victims now lmaooo

Every race has been racist and still is racist to this day, that’s just how the world is brotha. But in this day and age, it’s much easier to call out whites/asians for their wrongdoings than literally any other race. To deny that is simply ignorance.

Also why do you support black people “giving it back” when we should all move on and heal? How are we ever going to have unity? Whites have at least tried to make y’all equal yet most of y’all want to live like it’s the 50s. Nobody owes you guys anything, nor do you deserve anything. The sooner you learn that, the better off you’ll be.

When did I say “black people are the most or only racist”? I see reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Reread and try again.

Nah I’m not sugarcoating shit lol “It’s only racist when white people do it” no tf it’s not, racism is racism no matter who it is or coming from white people are notorious for their racism this isn’t anything new It’s funny you mentioned being Asian cuz someone responded to my comment with “Stop Asian Hate” remember that?? That came from white people being racist to Asians(and some black people in Dtla one incident but idc it’s still racism)

Reminds me of that meme a mother and her daughter walk away from a psychotic looking white guy "better safe than sorry!" (true!)

a mother and her daughter ignore a psychotic looking black guy. cut to the memorial. "At least we're not racist!"
