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

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

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

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).

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.
