The Anthony family saga

If the Anthony clan is representative of the intact black family that conservatives like Ben Shapiro are always clamoring for, then we should rethink that proposition.

here is something rich about Karmelo Anthony describing himself in his court filing as a “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,” after his parents squandered the crowdfunded defense fund of $625,000 on meals at Cheesecake Factory, luxury handbags, and a new home in a gated community, presumably needed to foil attempts by relatives to sponge off them.

If the Anthony clan is representative of the intact black family that conservatives like Ben Shapiro are always clamoring for, then we should rethink that proposition. The elder Anthony instilled in his son arrogance, machismo, and a sense of victimhood, a deadly cocktail that no sane father would want to foster. Both parents show a disturbing lack of remorse for the actions of their little pit bull.

If the family’s crowdfunding success is any measure of wider black support, then we should also ponder what the civil rights movement has wrought. In the six decades since MLK’s, “I have a dream” speech, white parents must still caution their children about upsetting their black classmates in any fashion, lest they end up with a penknife in their chest.

If Democrat U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett’s defense of Anthony is any measure of tribalism in this country, then “Houston, we have a problem.” Whereas liberal white women scold white men for being toxically masculine, black women, like Crockett, are big cheerleaders of black men’s hyper-aggression.

I witnessed a display of it in college, when several black male students cut in line at the cafeteria. When a white student objected to their arrogant actions, black female students came up behind

Whites are way to accepting despite the evidence right in the front of there face everyday. It’s programming

Stockholm Syndrome. Think about it.

What is it that these low-life grifters WANT? Do they ever say?

Maybe KA will be granted a new trial on appeal.

If so, maybe the law of unintended consequences will kick in. He’ll get a new trial. Some blacks on the jury. He gets another “guilty” verdict. He is sentenced to 99 YEARS instead of the 35 years he has now.

Then maybe these trashy people will learn that sometimes it’s best to just STFU. (I can’t call them animals, because animals are so much better then these creatures are.)

My best friend’s 26 year old son and his girlfriend were down in the gentrified area of little 5 points in Atlanta last weekend and 3 chimps walking past started making comments about the girlfriend and then actually began to approach.

Bear in mind my friends son is 6’3” and in good shape. He became enraged and started yelling at these aholes really aggressively. They immediately backed up and were like hey bro chill out. They are used to easily intimidating white people so when they get push back they coward out.

Its time for whites to stop taking it.

Not everyone is 6’3”.

It was a bit more than a pen knife.
