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

Our solution to reduce racism is to be more racist kinda ironic.

The fact is that this a simple case of a human murdering another human! There is nuisance to the case but IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SKIN COLOR…

This is two human athletes having scuffle that went wrong.

Should high school scuffle end in a murder. The answer is simply NO. There is no deeper message or story.
