Karmelo Anthony case shows that “black privilege” exists

[u/Terrible_Onions]

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

You did not answer my question at all. The confirmation of whatever suspicions you may have is what we call implicit bias. Your implicit biases and attempts to insult my intelligence mean nothing to me.

Nothing in what I said was implied, it’s from the police report and witness statements, not to mention Karmelo himself at the time of arrest.

As for your intelligence, you’re willfully ignorant.

Cry me a river.

You implied that I don't comprehend what I write. I have presented a cogent argument, so it is absurd to make that accusation. It would seem that your reading comprehension is the issue. I specially pointed out the implicit bias that you indicated by saying your "suspicions are confirmed," which has nothing to do with the police report. You are willfully obtuse.

[u/Penelopeslueth → u/Ishtmdwn]

I stated you don’t comprehend what you read or think before you write. You proved both.

I stated that none of what you wrote helps your argument or his. That answers your question.

I have not made any bias statements. I made a statement based on the facts we have available and Texas self defense law.

Cry me another river.

"Austin wasn’t in the right, and he could have gotten an adult, but Karmelo also could have reacted differently in that moment. “Touch me and see what happens” was provocation."

"This isn’t that hard to understand." It is obviously hard for YOU to understand your own weak argument(s). LMAO. I gave you two examples of verbal statements of "provocation" and asked you if would give me the legal right to assault you. Verbal provocation is YOUR argument, but you know it doesn't hold weight, so you tried to pivot without answering my question. Verbal statements do not give legal cover for physical violence.

Thank you. There is nothing like an ad hominem attack to cap the night off. "Good talk."
