People need to stop making Karmelo out to be the victim

So you don’t believe violent crime stats? Or do you?

Is one small % of this country responsible for 45-55% of murders every year? Do you believe those stats? Because if you don’t, why would you believe incarceration stats?

They aren’t treated unfairly.

 

I think he thought Traymon was a thug and up to no good.

that said, I do agree with you that he was racially profiling and doing something stupid.

I also wish Martin would’ve been successful in knocking him unconscious so that he could’ve possibly gotten away.

 

It's a proverty thing. Poor white neighborhoods have the same crime rates as poor black neighborhoods.

 

Not true

 

They aren't the same, but they all deserved to be punished. He was provoked. Not in a way that should cause you to stab someone, but it wasn't like he randomly attacked the dude, which is what you make it seem like. There is a push. There is arguing. But he should have walked away or sat there and just refused to move.

Yes, they are. Your denial doesn't change that. You can think it isn't white people's fault at all (the first 200 years of intentional legalized racism in this Nation be damned), but it exists. I've seen and heard it from people in positions of power. Blatant outward racism. I've benefitted from white privilege. We don't generally view it as privilege because we just see it as how people are supposed to treat other people.

 

solid post /s

 

This is outdated and silly. Empty victimhood, sad rhetoric. Paralyzing the black community.

Black people aren’t treated unfairly. They need to be 100% accountable for their actions like every other person of every other skin color. Please stop with the childish excuses for selfish, boorish, dangerous violent behavior. America is sick of the bullshit.

 

You as well.

Do I need to respond further to simple misinformation? Anyone here can look up those stats.

 

It clearly isn't outdated.

White people aren't ****ing accountable. You are sick of it because social media pushes you a narrative. No black person I know blames white people for their problems (at least that voices it). I know way too many white people that blame black people for their problems.

 

Everyone arguing for Karmelo is pushing the race narrative. Raise your children to understand that you can’t stab someone for simply touching you, even if they’re white.

 

Had a simple reply to whitlock online and simply asked, how about instead of focusing on the negative aspects of black america. You start posting about the achievements young black people are accomplishing and simply said how do you think your audience would respond to that.. BLOCKED ME

 

Well he makes 100% sense in that episode. Nobody is perfect. But instead of listening to the black Christian man, some would rather listen to the racist, never happy, always complaining and hating on whitey, black lesbian. That’s a problem with folks like Rocket River and others here.

 

Didn't give him leeway. Very specifically said it doesn't mean you get to stab someone.

 

Bro brought a knife. To a high school track meet. You are aware this would constitute an immediate expulsion for simply having possession?? What exactly do you think he intended to do with it? Peel fruit?

You're literally saying "He shouldn't have stabbed him in the heart, but I understand". He was not provoked, he was looking for an altercation. I am not sure why you are defending this POS. You view the entire world through a racial lens.

 

He should be in jail for decades,no problem whatsoever with the sentence. He started and needlessly escalated, it's very open and shut.

However I do get why black people are frustrated. We've seen other prominent cases where non black citizens, and more commonly law enforcement, create a situation that they needlessly escalate to lethal force and get away without even a slap on the wrist.

 

Except I literally didn't say that. I'm not defending him. I just don't ignore facts. I didn't live my life through a racial lens, but I also don't ignore that race is constantly a factor in the world.

Sorry I'm consistent.

 

Yep. That is what we should be upset about and discuss. This case should not be a topic of discussion. Just because white people and cops get away with murder doesn't mean we should let black people get away with it. We should work on stopping white people from getting away with murder, fraud, and protecting child rapists.

 

Imagine if white’s (65% of the population) murdered people at the same rate that blacks do in this country. This would be a truly lawless and dangerous country if this was the case. Like some scary, underdeveloped, **** hole country in Africa.

it would be Mad Max

Thank goodness it’s not like that, right?
