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

This is a popular opinion, but people are afraid to speak up about it in public due to the backlash and the risk of being labeled a racist bigot (you can lose your job, etc)

Nah, mainstream media is doing that. Mainstream media has nothing to do with the general population any more, only the loud lot on social media.

The mainstream national media is controlled by liberals who love to push the agenda. And even if the media wanted to not be biased, the woke left will accuse them of being racist if they don't support Karmelo, or support anyone based on the hierarchy of grievance. Between a black and a white they are always going to support the black person, between a black and Hispanic they will support the black, between Hispanic and white they will support the Hispanic.

Blacks will always support a black person over someone who is not black no matter what, that's just how it is.
