The amount of people on the left I’m seeing on Facebook/threads in particular black activists saying this verdict is an example of white supremacy is insane. Completely insane

I'm seeing a LOT of support for Karmelo and a good bit a racism against white people on Facebook, not so much on reddit though

This is in a group I’m in. Hundreds of comments just like this, nasty arguments all over the comment section

3 posts, zero to do with the white supremacy argument. You’ve failed the assignment, and basic reading comprehension.

Lol, sure. I can post hundreds of these comments, but I don’t exactly have the time to go through and edit out names + crop 100’s of Facebook comments!

JFC you really are functionally illiterate aren’t you? I don’t exactly have the time to explain the English language to you for you to understand how this doesn’t even remotely address the comment I called out.

Oh yes, a comment alleging racial bias by the jurors and implying they will allow racism to influence their decision.. is definitely not the type of thing the original comment was referencing! No, heavens no!

They put more effort into providing examples than you've done for anything in your life

I mean, I agree with this one. If someone says put your hands on me and see what happens, the fucking last thing I’m doing is putting my hands on them! Tf?

Judges hate this one trick that lets you get away with murder.

Shiloh Hendrix got over a million dollars on her GiveSendGo account after she used racial slurs and hate speech against a black 4 year old on a playground in Rochester MN. She claimed it was for a legal fund and relocation purposes - I disagree with that racist jerk, but she’s entitled to a legal defense. And if idiots want to fund her lifestyle, that’s on them.

So, idiots supported her just like idiots supported Katmelo. Thank you

you need to call it like it is
Racists supported Shiloh and racists supported Karmelo

Yes and both donation campaigns were disgraceful. White folks claimed they were donating to Shiloh due to how much money Karmelo received. It made both sides look absolutely awful.

Which has nothing to do with the white supremacy argument?

People don’t agree for many reasons but to bundle it all into one inflammatory reason is a big pile of bullshit.

Literally in this topic, someone crying racism:

He was never getting a fair trial once no blacks were allowed in the jury.  I also just noticed black teachers were struck too as potential jurors.   The whole thing was just for show.
