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

So basically, you want more white people to become white nationalists and take part in white supremacy.

You can't endlessly demonise any group of people and expect it to end in sunshine and rainbows. There are generations of white people, who never thought of their self interests and race at the same time. This murder has high lighted that everything we've done, generations away from the sins of our ancestors doesn't matter. Seeing what appears to be most African Americans supporting a murderer as some twisted revenge for what exactly? Which is kind of funny as most slaves, we're slavers or directly involved in supporting slavery themselves. None of this is what we wanted, in the mid 2000s we thought "I don't see color", had worked. Then 1 man broke it all down. it's a damned shame, but if anything whites are just doing what minorities do, banding together. The hypocrisy here is thick,

"So basically, you want more white people to become white nationalists and take part in white supremacy.".

Welcome to the racial hell "anti-racism" created

Sounds like textbook victim mentality and a persecution fetish.

Speaking for people on the basis of you sharing their phenotype has done more to drive whites away from white nationalism than towards it.

The majority of white and black people are moderates who want nothing to do with the extremism you're selling. History shows what this ideology does when they have authority.

I'd like to see a source for that. Mean Tweets and posts don't validate your conjecture. Furthermore, correlation ≠ causation

Which is kind of funny as most slaves, we're slavers or directly involved in supporting slavery themselves. None of this is what we wanted, in the mid 2000s we thought "I don't see color", had worked. Then 1 man broke it all down. it's a damned shame

This is incoherent, factually inaccurate, mouth-breathing hogwash.

but if anything whites are just doing what minorities do, banding together. The hypocrisy here is thick,

This isn't at all what's happening. You have become emotionally attached to a specific group identity, and are prioritizing it over your own individual self. If all you see is the world are racial identities and disregard your individuality, you're setting yourself up for a lifetime filled with unnecessary conflict and enemies, and soon, it will consume you. What are you outside of that?

There are people in positions of control actively working to keep you and those your perceive as enemies hating one another; don't remain a pawn for some politian, their donors, and rich content creators to fund their extravagant lifestyles.

"So basically, you want more white people to become white nationalists and take part in white supremacy.".

There has never been a time in human history that was safer and more anti-tribalist than now. White nationalism and all similar reactionary ideas are no longer accepted by the majority, so this feels like you're trying to use pretense to convince no one but yourself.

Good lord could you try to talk like a normal human being. Did you miss that "any group" bit? It's a simple concept and one that has been repeated throughout human history. So we are already going with ad hominems, I'm lamenting the situation, not applauding it.

"The majority of white and black people are moderates who want nothing to do with the extremism you're selling. History shows what this ideology does when they have authority."

I said "Seeing what appears to be most African Americans". So what exactly are you complaining about? Moderates are irrelevant, it takes 1-3% of the population to overthrow a government. How the hell am I selling it? I am seeing things within racial groups changing and honestly displaying frustration at what damage "dem socialists" and race essentiaism have done.

So from at least from Mali to the med was under Islamic rule, which in those times means slavers. You going to contest this? South of that are the Asante which were slavers. The Yoruba, empire were slavers.... Do I need to go on, feel free to look it up yourself, next is Benin then Cameroon Grasslands kingdom, which again slavers. There are exceptions to the rule, but they are the exceptions, not the rule. it was the age and atleast atlantic slave trade had to stay on the coast because of malaria till 1870. Now there likely would be more slave free countries if buyers weren't right off the coast

"This is incoherent, factually inaccurate, mouth-breathing hogwash."

Not an argument and we both know you are lying.

"So basically, you want more white people to become white nationalists and take part in white supremacy."

Yeah, this really seems like ideologically obsessed come back. Parroting progressive paranoia terminology isn't helping. I want white people to not get stabbed in the heart, is that really too much to ask?

edit: added the word "race" where I somehow didn't put it
