The murder trial of Karmelo Anthony in Frisco, Texas has been front page news since April 2025 when the event happened. There's no need to cite the details of the case for those in Texas, or probably most of the country. But for our guests in other countries I'll provide a brief summary of the case.
Karmelo Anthony allegedly brought a prohibited knife to a track meet, trespassed into another team's tent, refused to leave after being asked 15 times to leave, reached into his bag in a threatening manner, challenged others to fight him, brutally stabbed Austin Metcalf, an unarmed 17 year-old, who lightly shoved him in response, then ran away and tried to hide the murder weapon.
Anthony's defense has imploded faster than a meteor crossing the night sky. During the trial, every witness in the tent, including witnesses called by the defense, portrayed Karmelo Anthony as the aggressor who refused to leave and provoked the confrontation.
Like many other trials in the past, this trial is about much more than just Karmelo Anthony. It's about the $600,000 that was donated to Anthony's defense. It's about the hordes of black activists outside the courthouse, cheering for a murderer and endorsing his violent, depraved behavior, because he murdered a white teenager. It's also about our post 1960's legal system, which prohibits schools from punishing dangerous black pupils like Karmelo Anthony, and which forces white people to live around them while exhibiting such behavior.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a good and just and necessary piece of legislation. Discrimination on the basis of color, religion, etc. should not exist, and a law to prevent it is justifiable. The laws of our country, since the Constitution and the Bill of Rights was written were and are intended to right certain wrongs and improve the quality of life for citizens. All citizens. They were written by humans which by nature means they are not perfect. There are downsides, fallacies, shortcomings, and unintended effects. The Civil Rights Act of '64 is no exception. Court-ordered busing, public housing policy, and "urban-renewal efforts" have resulted in both positive and negative consequences. The negative consequences have resulted in countless unnecessary deaths.
Let's get straight to the point. As Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..." That statement will remain true for eternity. But it does not reflect the reality of life in the streets today of many American cities. I shall not recite examples, but do not doubt that they exist. And they are many. There is an unstated rule that states that you're supposed to tolerate antisocial behavior by black people, no matter now offensive it may be, or you'll end up dead. It has happened countless times, it happened under that team tent in Frisco, Texas.
Writer Patrick Casey wrote: "Austin Metcalf’s murder is particularly salient because almost everyone, regardless of race, has encountered a black person carrying out an antisocial act – cutting in line, mouthing off, blasting music on the subway, etc. – which is accompanied by the implicit threat of violence. … Most people don’t want to share a society with people who routinely violate public norms and are prepared to murder anyone who objects."
It's simply a fact, statistically substantiated, that on average, black people, are far more likely to resort to violence at the slightest provocation. This is how "justice' works in the hood. If they feel their honor is threatened, or the they are being "disrespected," many black people will shoot you or stab you, without any hesitation. That doesn't mean all black people are violent. Most are not. Same as 'white' people, most are not. But the statistics are indisputable. And when these black men leave their neighborhoods and interact with white people at track meets, on the side of the road, on the subway, or anywhere else, their attitude doesn't change. Many of them are still willing to kill over any challenge to their "authority", no matter how slight. So everyone needs to be aware of the risk. Is that how we want to live?...
It's also notable that the type of violence overwhelmingly perpetrated by young, black males is almost always cowardly and dishonorable. It's often a group assaulting one person. Often kicking and beating the victim while's he's on the ground and injured. Mob violence. Anthony allegedly pulled out the knife and stabbed Austin Metcalf before he had a chance to defend himself or to retreat.
Is feeling 'disrespected' and 'dishonored' an exclusive black mentality? No, it is not. There are other non-white groups that engage in disproportionate violence in response to criticism. And this is not exclusive to the U.S. The problem cannot be solved by calling people 'racist' when they voice their concerns about it, or by changing their behavior to minimize risk to themselves or their family. The more we ignore what's happening, the more innocent people will die.
In trial testimony it was demonstrated that Karmelo Anthony is yet another black man who allegedly resorted to murder after his antisocial behavior was called out. This was not merely a case of one stabbing at a track meet. It's about the urgency of undoing the deranged laws and legal doctrines that are getting far too many white people killed. It's about the hopeless attempts to achieve 'racial equity.' Equity has a definition, and it has nothing to do with vengeance.
The despicable behavior exhibited by the black activists outside the courthouse, the $600,000 donated to the Anthony family, show that not much has changed. Decades of affirmative action, welfare payments, reparations in some cities and states, DEI, a half-black president, has failed to produce any sort of racial harmony in the country. Apparently, it has led us to a period of open anti-white racial conflict which has erupted not only in the US but Europe as well.
Since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when the concept of 'diversity' showed up, people are dying because of a myth that has persisted for far too long in this country; that racial disparities exist as a result of discrimination. They do not. The problem is far deeper than that. Someday, somehow, we are going to have to return to the doctrine espoused by Thomas Jefferson 250 years ago: "All men are created equal with certain unalienable rights..."
