On April 2, 2025, Karmelo Anthony went to Memorial High School looking for a fight. Though he was participating in a track meet, he felt the need to bring a knife in his backpack. Once at the school, he sat in the tent of the opposing team. When confronted by Austin Metcalf, who told him to leave, Anthony reached into his backpack and said, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf then grabbed Anthony in an attempt to forcibly move him out of the tent. Anthony then used his knife to stab Metcalf in the heart, killing him almost instantly.
Touch me and see what happens. This is the ethos

There is more basic issue that needs to be addressed before responding to the Black complaint that Anthony would not have received this treatment if he was White. If he was White he would not have stabbed someone who pushed him. This boy (not meant derogatorily) was raised in such a dysfunctional culture that such behavior is not uncommon. Nearly 4.5% of American Black males will commit MURDER before they are 50. What is the percentage for White or Asian males? Ask yourself that question and then talk about legal lynching.

Great article and spot on but do you actually think any black street thug will read it (or be able to read it) and understand it? That’s a pretty high bar.

The black street thugs won’t read this.
But it’s the Black COMMUNITY leaders who need to read it….and act.
And who are the BCL? If they believe this, they’re staying silent. Remember what they did to Bill Cosby YEARS ago.
There is too much money (grift) and political points (power) to be had from not addressing this and going down the same thorny path.
An entire culture/COMMUNITY destroyed.

The article attempts to be positive. It suggests hope and solutions. At this point
I have to agree with Scott Adams. Walk away, avoid situations and interactions.
Don’t engage. Accept the fact that you’re hated. Don’t become a “statistic”

It's a form of 'black privilege', that if your criticized or in their words 'dissed', you can destroy the perceived enemy! It may not always be actual murder, it may just be the destruction of a store or fast food restaurant, but the anger seems to be just below the surface, waiting for an excuse to explode. Just like Muslims have been taught all their lives that the jews are bad, black youths appear to be taught that they are victims of the white suppressor! We do have systemic racism in this country, but it's moved from the white southerners to the inner city blacks!

I see he still retains some of that liberal "kumbaya" mentality. The racial situation in this country is waay beyond what he hopes for. Years of "gangsta rap" and "black people are victims" have convinced a majority of the black community that all their problems are the fault of whites. It is sad, but there doesn't seem to be a solution. When 1 out of every 22 black males will murder someone in their lifetimes, it is baked into the culture. It isn't just a problem for whites. Many of the victims are other black males.

It's the elephant in the room that no officials want to address. While that elephant gets bigger and bigger they are destroying every democratic run city. High crime and zero education are the hall marks of every democratic run city. Sad part is, blacks control all parts of the failing departments in the city. From the courts to the school yards, zero accountability. And it will never end because it is a culture within the city. Got it.

Resolve things through violence, someone ends up dead, and the perp ends up in jail. 'Touch me and see what happens' sounds just like FAFO. Violence is a really stupid way to resolve things but so many resort to it. I remember a quote: Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
The left has another problem with Karmelo Anthony. He's still alive and they cannot use him as a martyr. The left's previous martyrs (George Floyd and Trayvon Martin) have become boring. The lefty mob isn't coming out to riot. They would rather 'partay'. It's much more fun to get drunk and high, have sex with strangers, break things, kill one another, and join in the stampede when everyone runs for cover. Protests and riots just aren't the same! The left is actively looking for their next martyr. They are watching for any black person killed by a white person or even better, a black person dying in police custody.

This is the end result of 65 years of civil rights laws, affirmative action, Section 8 housing, welfare checks, fatherless homes and food stamps.

Was he an actual competitor in the Track Meet? I don't think so. He was not in uniform. I want to know why the "Captain" of the Track Team (allegedly) wasn't around his own Team and Coach? Is it because he was kicked off the Team for some reason and told to stay well away from them?
And by the way, HE and his family are from Louisiana originally only a couple years earlier. THEY ARE NOT TEXANS

FTA: "..On paper, Anthony sounded as if he were a model citizen with a bright future. Coming from a stable, two-parent household, he was the captain of his own school’s track and football teams. He worked two part-time jobs and was a straight A student. At the time of his crime, he was a month away from graduation, and was planning on going to college..."
That answers the old question, Nature or Nuture.

The two letters that must never be mentioned...IQ. There is also the factor that too many, black and white, are unable to link their actions with consequences. Now, one young man is dead. Someone whose whole life was ahead of him and two other family's' lives ruined. Essentially for nothing more than lethal, feral behavior.

Six decades of being handed money, housing, education, health care and everything else has created the mentality that these punks are entitled to act that way. Because they’re entitled to everything else in life. Thanks, democrats.

Bring back segregation. I get the feeling that it would be acceptable to most blacks so they don't really cull who they want to kill or beat up.

The biggest problem is that now we have to feed this rabid animal for the next 35 years instead of cooking him in the electric chair tomorrow.

Much of this sentiment has been posted here many times, including by myself
FTA:"Bigots such as Cardi B and Jasmine Crockett are intentionally fanning the flames of vulgar tribalism, because this is how they get paid."
The key point is that there are not any ways that whites can fix this problem. This can only be corrected from within the black community.
Meanwhile, I will avoid contact with black males, and will be armed in case things turn violent. This is a serious cultural problem, but not a white problem.

I couldn't give a rat's a** if this kid rots in jail along with all the rest of them.

#12 Karmelo was not dressed out for the track meet because he had been trespassed from his school for either bringing a knife to school or brandishing a knife at school the prior week. He had no reason to be in the area where Austin's team tent was. I heard about blacks urinating on Austin's grave and saw pictures of it on my Facebook page this morning. First time I had seen 'females' stand up to pee so I guess two of the four I saw evidently were trannies. I am so weary of watching videos of hordes of young blacks jumping on cars, young blacks running down streets yelling like banshees, big groups of young blacks running into stores and cleaning them out in minutes. I'm sick of watching them get in fights at the drop of a hat with all the hair pulling and kicking they do. Actually I am sick of that part of their people that is causing all of this mayhem. No one who can seems to want to do anything about it. I am old and will not live to see the damage they will do to this country as their numbers swell. The beginning of this was the election of Mr. Obama.

If I stabbed someone every time I was pushed, I would have no siblings left.
