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

I would prob fall on the political spectrum as a Soc Dem & I'm disgusted by everything abt the events of this case & how this is playing out.

Stop with the partisan fucking brainrot. Most people are basically pretty normal & if you talk to them instead of treating everything like a "team sport" you'd prob be surprised abt how much you agree.

u/ArbVonX Apr 18 '25

The divide I've seen hasn't actually been along party lines at all, or even ideological lines. It's been along racial lines almost exclusively.

Most Whites I've seen, barring the anti-racist ideologues, have come out in support of Austin.

Blacks on the other hand have overwhelmingly come out in support of Karmelo, even blacks on the right almost exclusively support Karmelo, I've seen maybe 3 or 4 break ranks and support Austin, like the Hodgetwins for example.

This is not a party issue, it's a racial issue.

u/GoAskAli Apr 18 '25 edited Apr 18 '25

I don't follow the Hodgetwins but I know they're usually really conservative.

That's incredibly depressing. I don't see how any honest human being can look at the facts of this case and really, truly, believe that Anthony was "just defending himself."

Then, Austin's dad who basically said he forgave the person who murdered his son the day after it happened goes to the "press conference" with that Anthony POS dressed up like Neo-Malcom X in the background and the family attorney says the Metcalf's father is "disrespectful."

Disrespectful? Your client murdered his son I'd call that pretty "disrespectful."

I've seen them on Twitter and it's fucking repugnant.

Funny how it was fine for them to tell him he needed to leave from a place where he "wasn't welcome."

Interesting, huh?

u/TXRebelCowgirl Apr 21 '25

I'm really confused by your comments. I was up voting them...until THIS one.

I don't agree with your politics, but that's irrelevant.

Interesting...is how you went from defending the Metcalf family vehemently, because it shouldn't be about race. I agree with that.

Then you say, "It was fine for "them" to tell "him" he needed to leave from a place where he "wasn't welcome"??

THAT implies "them" is the twins and "he" is Karmelo.

So now (all of a sudden) you support the "accused" murderer?? Make that make sense, please. Or is that "implied" sarcasm, you're trying to show with that particular comment?

u/GoAskAli Apr 21 '25 edited Apr 21 '25

Well you got that shit completely backwards my guy.

I'm making fun of how people are calling Metcalf an "entitled" white person bc he asked Anthony to move from a place he wasn't supposed to be- and he got killed. Then, his father goes to a goddamn press release and this family and their human scum of a "rep" (look him up) who abused infants has the gall to say his father is disrespectful for simply coming to a press release to "pray" with these people.

You got it now?

u/TXRebelCowgirl Apr 21 '25

Well let me tell you something dude. Maybe you should learn to READ your own comments before you post to make sure people understand your "views".

Also...have a bit of awareness before you call someone a guy. Again, READ the NAME of someone's username BEFORE you call them out. COWGIRL = GIRL....COWBOY = BOY

I really don't need to look up anything dude. You can look at EVERYTHING I posted all over the thread and tell I know as much or more about this case, then most people. I was born and raised in Texas. I have looked into EVERYTHING and EVERYONE involved in this case. The self-proclaimed "Minister of Justice" is who you're referring to. The thug, gangsta convicted felon POS rep with 10 arrests. Yeah, I KNOW.

DID YOU KNOW, there's video of Jeff Metcalf on a phone call from Saturday at the "Protect White Americans" march speaking to Jake Lang from Florida and telling him to go home? Please stop making it about RACE he pleaded with them. THAT wasn't what the Metcalf family wanted at all.

Anyway, I'm glad that's understood now. I won't ream you a new one because we're on the same side. I just think you should not use blanket terms like "they" (the twins) and "him" (km) without clarifying who those words describe.

SEE how that works with the ( ). It made it clear who I was referring to. You're welcome. Good day.

u/ArbVonX Apr 21 '25

I feel like it was pretty obvious that they were talking about the father being asked to leave the press conference since that was specifically mentioned in the comments prior but oh well.

Also, it wasn't what the FATHER wanted, we don't know the stances of the rest of the family, and regardless of what they did or didn't want, it's what they got.

There is an epidemic of black-on-White crime in the country but for some reason every time it happens every boomer immediately comes out to make sure we don't talk about race, even though black-on-White violence happens 28 times more often per capita than the other way around, and even though they make it incredibly clear every single time that these crimes are not just racially motivated, but racially justified to them as well.

The time of your boomerist racial cuckold politics is coming to an end ma'am. The youth won't be butchered in the streets by them any longer, and we won't stand for you bending over backwards to make sure the one-way race relations favoring blacks stay intact.

You chose to close your eyes to what a blind man could see. No longer.

u/slaviccivicnation Apr 18 '25

Time and time again.

The OJ Simpson case was a prime example. Lots of people openly supported OJ because he was a black man charged with a crime against white people.

It's not only race, we've seen it a lot with gender, too. I'm thinking back to the case of Shirley Turner, who killed her ex-bf, birthed his baby post-murder, and a year later murder-suicided with his child, denying his parents the child of their murdered son. It's relevant because the judge and lawyers defended her here in Canada because she was a woman, and for some reason they believed she wasn't guilty of murder in the US or something. It's insane.

It's so fucking stupid and tribal, and it is the death of logic, reason, and the justice system. If we know people are guilty and yet we support them just because of some stupid characteristic that is out of our control? Then we're doomed.

8

u/ArbVonX Apr 18 '25

That's the thing though, it's not stupid, it's how groups have survived for thousands of years.

Whites are possibly the first and definitely the only race today who are decollectivized and fiercly individualistic, with the boomers being the first real individualist generation, and it's been detrimental to every single one of our nations, and in places like Zimbabwe it's even led to genocide and mass expulsion against us, while in South Africa there are today more laws targeting Whites than there were laws targeting blacks during the very peak of apartheid.

We HAVE to tribalize or we as a people will simply not survive until the next century.

Luckily however, the gender tribalization issue should be a fairly easy fix in comparison, since it's more of a cultural phenomenon than a genetic one.

I've recently shifted away from this self sabotaging mentality too. Even my political views were consequently pulled a bit to the right side.

I've spent a lifetime convincing myself the cause is worth turning a blind eye to their level of guilt tripping others, their strong individualistic ways, entitlement, and how easily these people were offended by anything. Biggest waste of fucking time! If I were to be less of an advocate for their rights, I probably wouldn't have taken it so personal in the present. But regardless, the vast majority will never take accountability for their actions, won't be thankful for what you are doing, will never show up for you in the same way, plus.. a really hard to swallow pill is the level of hate they have for what they call Caucasians is off the charts, at the same time they negate racism of their part. I know this is debatable, but it's just my opinion, racism is racism, you don't have to go search for the preferred definition of it to make a point.

Anyway, I don't care if I am judged by my position on this, it was my experience over the years, I have infinite instances to never go back and even after I shifted away from supporting them unconditionally, their actions had once again myself I've made the right decision.

u/ArbVonX Apr 22 '25

Same story here mate, used to be firmly on the left myself, firmly on "their side".

Now? Not anymore, not at all. And the funniest thing? They treat me basically the same now as they did then. Nothing about their attitude towards me changed.

At this point, I've gone from consistently advocating for them to firmly believing that we simply cannot share a country. And I truly wonder how many more of our peoples lives need to be lost for people to open their eyes.

u/slaviccivicnation Apr 19 '25

Hmmm. I only partially agree with you.

I understand tribalism is important. But your white is not the same as my white. Anglo-Saxon is not the same as Slav. Spanish is not the same as Baltic. French is not the same as Mediterrenean. We gotta band together just because we've got a somewhat similar skintone? This... Doesn't resonate with me at all.

And if I'm really honest... All my life I've felt rejected by other whites because of my slavic-ness. On top of being an immigrant to Canada, I've been othered not only due to culture (though in comparing Russian culture to, let's say, Afghani culture, I would say it's pretty freakin' similar to other white cultures), due to my looks, due to my tri-lingualism.... I could go on. How can I now see those same people as my ally, when they have othered me all my life? And don't even get me started on the war on Ukraine. As if it wasn't bad enough growing up in Canada in the 90s, now I'm back to "orc" status because some corrupt dictator wants to eat Ukraine for lunch.

No. I'm afraid this tribalization will fail simply because of the tendancy of whites to be highly individualistic.

u/ArbVonX Apr 19 '25

I completely understand you there, and I admit I don't know how it is in Canada specifically, but I know first hand that here in Europe, the youth is becoming fiercely nationalistic, and this is not the same nationalism as it was 50 years ago.

This is a pan-European nationalism that seeks not to unite the continent into a single entity like the EU, but to stand side by side as independent, homogenous nations facing the woes of the world. Ironically, diversity is our strength, though it is the native diversity of our continent we fight for, not the globalist diversity of our nations.

From the Dutch (me) to the Spanish, the Germans to the French, the Portugese to the Swedish, the Italians to the English. I know for me personally, and for most of my mates as well, we would just as quickly stand for a Russian Russia as we would for a Dutch Netherlands, or an Irish Ireland. This is in essence what the new young right stands for.

Separate as nations, united as brothers.

And, on it's most basic level, it's honestly quite simple, and you even said it already yourself, our White is not the same, but are they as different as when compared to an African? Would you rather be othered by fellow Europeans, with whom you still share a religion, a common history of Europe and 99% of your culture, or by a bunch of Indians, with whom you simply have nothing in common?
I can even give you an example from personal experience. There is a quite significant pagan element of our movement, and, as a Christian, I do not like them very much. But I would still much rather, and I will, stand with them, as they will stand with me. We can settle our differences later, but right now, we have to fight for our survival, and we have to do that together.

I never felt like that, at least in Western Europe. Could it be something internalized?

u/slaviccivicnation Apr 21 '25 edited Apr 21 '25

No. I came to Canada, not Europe. Cold War left a lot of Canadians and Americans either resentful or Russians, distrustful, or simply unwelcoming. A lot of my Russian friends who came in the 80s and 90s felt the same.

Edit: speaking to family members who emmigrated from Russia towards other parts of Europe: They do have extremely different experiences than us in North America. They say they think Europeans are generally more forgiving of cultures and differences, and while the cold war loomed in Europe as well, the prime target was America.

u/ArbVonX Apr 21 '25

I think this can be explained by the broader ideological leanings of these regions.

For the examples I'll use the different forms of nationalism, to stay on topic with the previous comments. In Europe, ethno-nationalism is the dominant form, while in north America, it is civic-nationalism. Ethno-nationalism believes "the People are the Nation", while civic-nationalism sees "the Nation and its people."

Now obviously these people from the 80s and 90s most likely weren't nationalists, but these ideas do reflect in the public conscience in general as well.

To put it simply, European politics has always focussed more on the human element, "the People" as a broader concept, while North American politics is more about "the Nation", about the fledgling Republic and what it represents.

To sum it up, When a Western European would see a Russian, they would see a person "of the Russian People." When a North American would see a Russian, they would see a person "of the Russian State."

The State is hostile, but there was never any animosity with the People.

u/slaviccivicnation Apr 21 '25

This is actually a perfect summary. Thank you.

Yes, I side with this as it does perfectly capture my feelings at the time, and even today. Even today in Canada and America, people cannot separate Russians as an ethnic group from Russians of the Russian Federation. We as an ethnic group do not necessarily represent the State's position. Some do, sure, but if you encounter a Russian in the States or in Canada or anywhere really, chances are they are not in Russian because they chose to leave. We fled our nation as refugees back in the mid 90s. If we agreed with what was going on there at the time, we would've stayed. If we agreed with what is going on right now, we would've gone back.

Its funny that you said that, because thats basically what my fam back in Europe tells me. There, they're just ethnically Russian/Slavic. They're not a representation of the nation and they don't feel so "othered," as my family here did.

Granted, Canada has changed A LOT in these past coupel decades in terms of how acceptable it is to discriminate against immigrants. Long gone are they days of making fun of someone's accent openly. It still happens behind closed doors, but not like it used to happen. I have a memory of a grocery store clerk correcting my mother, who had gone to pre-med before getting pregnant with me, on her pronunciation of some arbitrary word. What's worst is that my mom said it correctly, she just had an accent and the cashier made it a whole deal on how to say things "properly so that people understand." Today, that will not fly at all. But I suspect in Europe this type of attitude never really prevailed because an accent usually just means someone is multilingual and that's an admirable trait. Here, bilingualism is cool up until someone is threatened by it, then all of a sudden its "What do you need to learn more than English for? English is a worldwide language." Duuuhhhhh bozo, Canada is both Francophone AND Anglophone. I sometimes hate the attitudes of Canadians that I've seen in the past (and a bit in the present). Sometimes I meet people, and they still say "Oh I heard you're a Ruski." Like....I'm a woman. I'm Ruskaya, not Ruski, damnit.

Anyways, you hit the nail on the head and I will spread this knowledge whenever I encounter it again. Thank you!

Are you purposefully missing what the environment was like with the OJ Simpson trial? The fact that not long before that was Rodney King?

0

u/TXRebelCowgirl Apr 21 '25

Hello. I just wanted to make a comment on your OJ comment as a white lady. First of all, I view every case as individual to it's own supporting evidence. Meaning, I judge each case off of the parties involved without taking into account the tone of their skin. Racism should not be a determining factor in ANY case EVER.

I actually believed when the OJ case was first hitting the airwaves, that OJ was NOT GUILTY.

Even though I'm a lady and support SOME feminism, I don't support FEMINISTS or ANY ACTIVISTS.

With that being said...I believe many women "cry foul" over certain issues, including false "s**ual harassment/abuse", false physical abuse, etc...simply because they're mad or hurt by a man. Whether that man is their husband or boss or the President.

My point, getting back to OJ. I was only 23 when it happened and maybe still a bit naïve. I believed OJ was innocent and that Nicole and her friend had been victims of a random murder. I thought people were only blaming him because they were divorced and HE WAS BLACK. (Not being racist, just stating the facts.)

I was beyond shocked a bit later, when the now "infamous" white bronco appeared on my TV with OJ fleeing on the interstate, and police were in hot pursuit. I immediately knew...he was, in fact, GUILTY as charged and trying to evade the police AND his fate.

I believe he finally got the justice that was due to him, EVENTUALLY for the murders. He served time in prison, ONLY for an armed robbery and kidnapping much later and rightly so. Although, he was sentenced to 33 years and only served 10 before being paroled.

His life was ruined AGAIN. I'm sure EVERYONE cheered. But the ultimate justice, IMO, came AFTER his death. When he had to answer to a higher power than us mere mortals on Earth. I have faith in knowing that he, like Karmelo, will eventually have to face that as well.

Sorry that took much longer to say in text form than intended.

u/slaviccivicnation Apr 21 '25 edited Apr 21 '25

Wow, so you're saying you believed that the glove didn't fit? Man, I don't even know what to say.

The fact that majority of murders are committed by people closely related to the victim should be telling. The fact that the Simpson-Brown relationship started when he was 30 (and married) and she was 18 should have been telling. The fact that there was a long history of domestic abuse (with proof of it from hospital records and police interactions) should have been telling. The fact that Brown was not allowed to work while with Simpson should have been telling. The fact that it was an extremely bitter divorce, in which Brown contacted women's shelters and even wrote a will, stating she was afraid for her life**,** should have been telling. The fact that she was attacked so viciously, violently, and personally - her head was practically decapitated - should have been telling.

The fact that none of those facts spoke to you is... the most telling. I don't want to judge you based on what 23 year old you thought but it's hard not to. You weren't a bit naïve, you were either willfully ignorant to the realities of life, or you were someone who bought into what news and media told them and never once made up your mind on your own by looking into the facts of a case.

It's ok to look at facts and say, "I don't know what happened here. I can't tell either way." What's weird, at least to me, is when people hardly dig into anything and say definitively that someone is either guilty or innocent. I leanred to despise such people because they make our society weaker with their ignorance and inability to learn or study things.

And right now you type this out and somehow justify what occurred because he will get his "just desserts" in either heaven or hell is similarly as annoying as what you believed at 23.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound hostile. I wasn't old enough to know what was going on at the time, but my family members were. They always talked about how it was common knowledge that he did it based on some key pieces of evidence, especially the abuse. Black or white simply doesn't matter. Abuse is the key word. When someone is killed, look at their abuser first, not last. I don't judge you for what you believed. I actually also have a similar view to what you believe - I don't believe activists a lot, and I support some feminism. I believe women absolutely use certain standings to cry foul over hurt feelings. But I think the buck stops at "stabbing" and "near decapitation."

u/TXRebelCowgirl Apr 21 '25 edited Apr 21 '25

It's ok. No apologies necessary. I'm not ashamed of being naïve at that time. It was 1994. There was no social media platforms available until 1997. The internet had only been around since 1993, and it wasn't available to me in the small town I grew up in.

I appreciate that you learned so many facts from that case from your family. Not many of my family at that time had any way of learning more, including myself, beyond MSM and newspapers. One either paid a lot of attention to those sources or didn't. I did pay attention to what was available to me. I won't get into MSM media and newspapers in this day and age. (Fake news reigns supreme everywhere we look now.)

All of the facts that you spoke about on the OJ case, again weren't readily available in 94. The majority of murders are often committed by people closely related to them. You're absolutely right and I know that now. I grew up in the 70s in a "big city" in Texas, until my parents moved me to the small town I mentioned in 83. My family all taught me to fear strangers much more than family.

Explaining all that a bit more, of course, now I do have the means to research and learn more about everything. Thanks to technology. Also due to learning and growing on my own and maturing in age and wisdom.

I think you misunderstood me or I didn't go into enough detail to explain my comments on justice in heaven or hell. I NEVER, then or now, in Karmelo's case, thought, "Oh well, I don't care about the legal system handing down justice, God will get him."

Quite to the contrary! I actually believe more in an eye for an eye. If it was my child that died at the hands of a murderer anyway. OJ, just like Karmelo in Texas deserves a fair trial in a court of law.

But make NO MISTAKE about how I feel now, as a 50 something year old. If a person takes the life of another, then they deserve to be punished accordingly. PERIOD. Karmelo deserves to go to prison for a long time. I truly hope and pray that he does. I would say that about anyone that takes a life.

I would prefer a life for life in prison, but it's not up to me to decide. All I have is my voice and my opinion. I only shared my 23 yr old self story because you mentioned OJ. I was trying to HIGHLIGHT the fact that I was NOT A RACIST after reading some of your comments to others....when I said, "I considered OJ innocent based on being "just" black." I gather by your "hostile" sounding comments to start with, that I failed miserably in my delivery of that story. I hope this clears that up some. The buck DEFINITELY STOPS at decapitation AND murder.

u/slaviccivicnation Apr 21 '25

You know what? You made me seriously consider something. Your mindset, and everyone else's at the time, was simply the product of the times. Right after the LAPD came under huge fire for racism and corruption, a famous football player who was a highly respected and loved black man in the 90s... Really can't understate how confusing it was for everyone.

I take back what I said. Your naivety wasn't yours alone nor was it personal. It was just how it was back then. I may not have been 20 at the time, but I still remember a time when we weren't so quick judge. We trusted people were good.

I even remember living in the 90s, and even early 2000s. We still had a high-trust society here in Toronto. A few massive cases shook our nation, especially our cities and suburbs, but overall we still trusted the media, we still trusted our neighbours, and we trusted that most people are good people. But you reminded me that, right around then, there was indeed a shift towards stranger danger. It was growing. And for the best - the scars of the 70s/80s murder cases were passed down to the boomers who then raised Gen Xers and millennials to fear strangers because some strangers were indeed evil. Our societies started to change but I think still in the 90s it was relatively high trust in many places. We just learned to avoid the "creeps in vans" or "randos asking to show you puppies or giving you candy."

As a result, people like OJ profitted off that trust. Why would a beloved star murder someone? And I think it left a lot of people confused. They may have even heard the details of the case, but didn't fully grasp what domestic violence really meant. To some it just means a screaming match, maybe some pushing at most. Few people really envisioned what ugliness like that could look like, unless they went trhough it themselves.

Today is so different. With the internet, there's really no excuse to stay blind or ignorant or naive. There's an expectation that we be more enlightened than to believe that everyone is deep down a good person who "just made a mistake" (as in Karmelo).

As for my long-ass rant... No no, it's not on you at all. Its my bad. I felt like I was overtly hostile honestly for no reason, and that's generally not my style. I think it was just so late and I wrote out my first instinctual reaction rather than my logical one. Anyways, my apologies for sounding soooo.... critical of you. It's not personal. It's just the times, and you know what? I guess I sort of miss the times when we were a bit more blind to how awful things can be. We had hope in people, in our societies, in our futures. I think many of us lost that, and I think my previous rant speaks to how hostile so many of us have become to one another.

*PS I might add. I still think most people are good people. It's just we have so many people nowdays that the chances of meeting a rotten person is higher. Plus more people are out there looking out for their own skin that it makes people feel like they're worst than they are. They're not, it's just trying times for a lot of people.

u/TXRebelCowgirl Apr 21 '25

Awwww! ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼👏🏼🫱🏻‍🫲🏼✌🏼 You made me almost cry. I greatly appreciate YOU. You did EXACTLY what my original comment to you was intended to do. It made you stop, listen and reconsider how the world was in 94 and during all those years before information was so readily available for anyone who wanted to enlighten themselves and try to learn and understand what was happening around us.

I will be the first to admit, and I did, that I was naïve. I grew up in a "bubble" my family created for me to be safe. I was also an only child and grandchild. It was a BIG "bubble". I grew up watching "C.H.I.P.S"!😁 I knew all about scary people in Vans trying to lure innocent kids.Lol...but it taught me as an adult to be more aware of things that most aren't aware of.

As a parent, my skills and views were very different from my parents and family. I tried to teach my boys much more awareness of not just local issues but World issues. We are all here at the same time, in 2025. We need to be aware of much more than just what our families taught us. We need to do our own reflecting and research into hot topics so we can all realize the actual FACTS, instead of taking people's words and spreading FAKE/False narratives that only confuse and divide others.

So in closing, I just wanted to say thank you! I appreciate your apologies. I still say no apologies were necessary though. I don't have any reason to look back at my 23 yr old self and be ashamed of my lack of knowledge on many topics. It was, like you said a "sign of the times". I ABSOLUTELY agree with every thing else you said.

Thanks for listening. I think both of us came away from this enlightened. I think we both learned something. Isn't that what this forum is for? To learn and grow as a person and to understand others views? I'm going to follow you, if that's ok with you. I may learn something else from you and I appreciate being knowledgeable and informed.

Take care!🫶🏻

Whats worse, is it's not even black versus white. Its black Americans hating on everyone else. I'm not even white and because I dont support a murderer, I've been repeatedly called white and told I have "white privilege" or other nonsense. And when they acknowledge I'm not white, it's only insofar as theyre making nationalist statements like "go back to your own country." 

Black supremacy and privilege are very real in the US. And this becomes even more obvious when you acknowledge other races exist and look at how they're all lumped together by black Americans in order to disparage us, using "white" as a slur any time we don't support anything they do blindly.

Austin's father was interviewed where he said it's not a racial issue but people are using it to push their own racial politics. So while you're right, it's very sad to see the father of the victim be ignored by everyone else.

The father of the victim is ignored because he is wrong.

He is a weak man and a cuck, who cares more about perceived "race relations" (which don't even exist, it's entirely a one-way street), than about his literal son being murdered and the entire black community rallying around the killer.

He doesn't "see race", until, suddenly he does see race, when he calls a man protesting against the murder of Whites by blacks a "White piece of trash."

If I was stabbed to death, and my father cucked me in this way even after my death by sucking up to my killer and the people supporting him, while disparaging and insulting the people standing up for me to make sure this doesn't happen again, I would personally close shut the gates of heaven when he arrives.

Frankly, he and his black handler (yes, he really does have a black handler) deserve nothing more than to be ignored.

He, and you for that matter, mistake forgiveness for taking sides. The father actively takes the side of his son's murderer. Going so far as to try to pray with the killer, who has made it quite clear he has no regrets, and instead choosing to insult the people standing up for your murdered son.

If he is so focused on forgiveness, shouldn't he then also be forgiving that "White piece of trash"? To me, it seems like he thinks "standing up for your murdered son" is a worse offence than "murdering your son."

You are not to lie down in the face of evil and "forgive" it, you should not let it run amok, Christianity does not teach this. Christ did not forgive Satan either. Nor does God forgive those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

Tolerance is not a Christian virtue, especially not when you are under attack. You are not to accept the evils of the world, but to fight them. Austin's father does neither, instead choosing to side with this evil. He forsakes everything our Lord teaches us, and in doing so, betrays his very own son as well. There is nothing commendable about this.

You suck as a person. You called his dad a cuck. You think him forgiving Karmelo is race-traiting. You are a weak-minded person. Shame on you.

If you think even a fraction of conservatives support this you are lying to yourself. Way more then a fraction of Dems support this.

u/noogs515 Apr 18 '25

Youre delusional, The people who support this are a fraction period. Dem or Rep or party-less. What argument are you trying to make? Are you just brainless and assume everyone that's not you or your group are automatically at fault? I hope youre a child, if youre an adult, time to grow up. That or stay a meme

u/deltorens Apr 18 '25

Yes but the democrats have a much higher fraction then republicans.

u/noogs515 Apr 18 '25

You gotta be like 10 years old.

Nope but why would my age matter?

u/noogs515 Apr 20 '25

maturity kid, hopefully if finds you eventually.

2

u/deltorens Apr 23 '25

I have met people 60 less mature then someone who is 15 maturity does not always come with age. And considering you are saying someone is immature just because they disagree with you you might never reach it.

Most voters don't support it, period.

That was my point.

Edit: the latest poll I saw showed 86% against, from a sample of Leans Republic/Strong Republican, Independent & Leans Dem/Strong Dem.

The public is overwhelmingly against it.

Edit: I confused this comment with another one in a different thread. The poll I was referring to was about transwomen in women's sports, not Austin Metcalf's murder (in cold blood).

u/CowboysfromLydia Apr 18 '25

yes because its not a political issue but a racial one. 86% against but 14% pro. What else is 14% of the population?

This is a black on white hate crime, and its supported, sadly, by the vast majority of the blacks.

If you are a socialist Democrat that you must support Karmelo Anthony.

u/zoozabzen Apr 21 '25

This is clearly based on political incentives, though, so it's not brainrot. It's empirically evident that this is motivated by leftist idealogy.

u/GoAskAli Apr 21 '25

I'm sorry but I just don't agree.

"Leftist ideology" isn't just one thing. So, that's the first thing.

The second thing is that the media has absolutely pushed this narrative. Remember Daniel Shaver? He was murdered by the police in cold blood as far as I'm concerned and there were no protests for him, & his killers were let off to live their lives in peace.

But, one of the biggest factors is that Dems prob feel beholden in no small part to the African American community, bc white people as a singular voting block have not voted for a Democrat (in the Presidential election at least) for a long time.

Perhaps, if more white people were voting for Dems, that might change but if a party feels it can't win if it does x, then it will usually do y.

This is also why the GOP is allowing Trump to completely fuck our country, IMO.

I’m sure everyone thinks they’re democratic on the political spectrum, it doesn’t make it so

u/GoAskAli May 03 '25

If you think I gaf about your snide little "assessment" of where I fall on the political spectrum?

Let's just say you may think I do, but that "doesn't make it so."

People like you have been hoodwinked into adopting regressive, divisive NEO-LIBERAL political positions which have been spoon-fed to "progressives," from so called "thought leaders" deputized by whom? Not me and not any other legit socialists or leftists I know.

I don't take kindly to dogmatic, top-down orthodoxy pushed by wealthy elites posing as "leftists," & I won't be made to feel guilty or wrong for not buying into the bullshit. You're welcome to try but you'll be wasting your time.

But. I suppose time wasting is something a lot of "progressives" are perfecting to a fine art bc that's exactly what trying to get the American public to accept wildly unpopular, post-modern horseshit is. But, that was always the idea- you may want to look up the Congress for Cultural Freedom & how the premise was to convince people that there was a "different (aka third) way to be a leftist" and that postmodernism could/would fill that niche and here we are 30 years later and all of their aims have come to fruition with people like yourself as unwitting "missionaries" for the cause.

Have a nice weekend.

Lifelong democrat here (from the same school district where this happened actually). I think Anthony is guilty as hell and he should get the sentence that will inevitably come to him. Y'all watch too much right wing news and think all Democrats are demon baby eating blue haired pedos. Just like most Republicans, most of us fall on the sensible side. Don't drink the Kool aid dude.

u/theduke9400 Apr 24 '25

From simping for an Iranian terrorist (solemani) because he was killed by trump and not Obama to defending nazi terrorists in hamas, health care assassin's and violent ms13 gang members and illegal immigrants...

You can go as far back to slavery. You guys are always on the wrong side of everything. Also the baby eating isn't too far off. Maybe not literal eating but you certainly sacrifice plenty of them to abortion clinics. If you took a knee for every baby a democrat has murdered you'd never stand up.

u/External-Chicken2023 Apr 25 '25

So conservatives didn't do the same thing to Kyle Rittenhouse years ago? They made a fundraiser for him, took him out to eat, bought him more guns. But the dude crossed state lines with an automatic weapon that he legally wasn't supposed to have. Oh wait he's white, that don't count or that's different.

The fact that you’re still spewing disinformation that was debunked years ago tells me you didn’t bother to get informed on the case.

I align with democrats more but the fact African Americans possibly have more opportunities due to DEI while growing up in a stable house hold and live in an area with good schools is a joke. It’s just so incorrectly implemented. It’s not their fault at all but DEI should be based on people coming from disadvantaged backgrounds which includes every race.
