Why is the individual who promoted that "Straight Black Men are the White People of Black People" bullshit opening her trap to say anything this young Black man?
💥NEW: Jemele Hill on Karmelo Anthony: “Let this be a lesson to us, especially to teach our young black boys, ’cause we have definitely seen this in our community — where the SLIGHTEST of things has touched off something that can’t be reversed!” “So we need to be having conversation with our young black boys about emotional regulation and decision making and discernment and wisdom.”

It is not insecure to want to see ourselves and our icons depicted authentically. This man did not fit the roles of MLK or Bass Reeves and he should be able to receive that feedback like an adult.

This woman is JAMAICAN and she does NOT speak for Foundational Black Americans. She is a hostile OUTSIDER
"KARMELO, YOU WERE WRONG." As some continue to blame Austin Metcalf for what happened, Janeshia Adams-Ginyard is pushing back. "It was not Austin's fault." "We cannot sit up there and blame Austin for his death."

This is Darren Seals from Ferguson, MO. Darren was one of the young poor and working class Black men & women who led uprisings in the wake of Mike Brown's killing. He was ostracized and marginalized by opportunists who diverted the energy in Ferguson into agendas that had nothing to do with why people took to the streets. On this day in 2016, he was murdered. Darren Seals was really what the Black Lives Matter organization claimed to be. #RIPDarrenSeals

This guy was awful as MLK in Selma and as Bass Reeves. Neither depiction was convincing. It is not insecurity to want to see ourselves and our icons depicted authentically.
Actor David Oyelowo pushes back on the narrative that Black British actors are taking all the African American movie roles and says that mindset is born out of insecurity as he shares his reaction to the viral Druski skit. (🎥 One54 Africa/Youtube)

Dr. Candice Matthews just dropped some receipts on Greg Lewis, the Colin County District Attorney who oversaw the prosecution of Karmelo Anthony‼️🧐 A federal lawsuit accused him of systemic sexual harassment and inappropriate touching with subordinates‼️ A $1.75 million settlement was finalized to completely resolve the case, paid by Colin County’s private insurance policy‼️🙄

This is Amerikkka In Texas, Karmelo Anthony was convicted after acting in self-defense during a confrontation that ended in the death of a white teenager. The jury rejected his self-defense claim. In South Carolina, Rick Chow was acquitted after chasing and shooting 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back, claiming he was defending his son. The jury accepted that defense The legal facts of these cases are different. The circumstances are different. But the outcome leaves us asking the same question: Why does self-defense seem easier to recognize when the person pulling the trigger isn’t Black? A Black teenager fearing for his life is seen as a criminal. A grown man who chases a Black child and shoots him in the back is seen as a reasonable citizen. For generations, Black people have watched courts, juries, media outlets, and politicians extend the benefit of the doubt to others while denying it to us. We have watched Black children be treated as threats and Black victims be placed on trial after their deaths. Black fear is discounted, Black humanity is questioned, and Black lives are afforded less grace by a system that promises equal justice under the law. Justice cannot be color-coded. Self-defense cannot depend on the race of the person making the claim. And equal protection under the law cannot remain a slogan that Black people in American never fully experience.
