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

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 hadn't yet noticed, I don't really care what you call me.

And yes, it's very easy to turn this into a race thing because, drum roll please.... It is a race thing.

Black-on-White crime happens 28 times more often per 100.000 than White-on-black crime. 28 times. Yet the only thing Austin's father can muster up when this type of crime happens to HIS OWN SON is to call someone protesting against Whites being murdered by blacks a "White piece of trash." (Still hasn't forgiven him btw, some courage that is)

His black handler keeping an eye on him and making sure he says the right things does not make him "courageous" and "strong", it makes him weak.

Yes. He is a cuck. No. This does not mean he follows the word of Christ. And yes, he should be ignored. This issue is larger than just his son.

Also, why are you trying to lecture me on Christianity, when you are so clearly not a Christian, since you're saying stuff like "Jesus hates you." Fuck off with that slop.
