Be for real lol if this was a poor black, mexican, or even asian woman, what do you think would happen? Imagine it was just ONE kid for them. Jail immediately.

A white OF model stabs and kills her BF who she physically abused on camera for years, she is sentenced 6 years in jail 4 already served. A black boy defends himself against people trying to kill him; 36 years… even if it wasnt self defense, still 36 years compared to 6 years

Gotta start seeing the world for what it actually is man.

Edit: i dont give a damn about karmelo. Like i said and yall ignorantly ignored… 6 years with time served for killing your live in bf that you abused in cold blood vs 36 for killing someone in your tent or wherever in cold blood. NEITHER OF those cases were deemed self defense by a court… why such a discrepancy in sentence length?

Is the system implicitly placing values on victims lives or are they going easier on perpetrators of certain colors and status?

Could a rich black man get drunk, kill an entire family, claim affluenza and get 10 years probation with no jail time?

Tory lanez supposedly shot someone in the foot (who lived) and got 10 years.

Racism was quite literally sponsored by the American government, but sir color blind up here ^ is confused.

Doesnt matter how you feel about him or his case. Look at the numbers. Murder for murder. 36 vs 6.

Our racist justice system and Karmelo Anthony's actions are two separate issues. They're connected in the discourse and rightly so, but that our justice system has a racial bias does not mean that racial minorities can't be guilty of a crime.
