I'm not sure about that. I think the bigger stereotypical conclusion that EVERYONE made when they saw this story described as follows on the homepage "HS track athlete stabbed in heart and killed by another at Texas 5A-11 District meet" was this - they assumed a male stabbed another male.
The point I'm making is people make assumptions in their heads ALL the time. It's human nature. Society freaks out about certain assumptions but hardly even recognizes other more common assumptions
You really need to get rid of the cornball reddit-tier volunteer mods here. Read the room. Trump won, Musk owns Twitter. You don't need to be doing covid-era censorship. In this case, a mod deleted a post the founder of the website is responding to. Makes rojo look like he's speaking to a ghost. Embarrassing!
Trump won vs being pro-segregation are not the same thing.
Back in the 1980s, we used to go to meets all over the place. Missouri, Denver, Louisiana, even indoor meets in Fort Worth at the old coliseum with a wood surface. Security wasn't needed back then because supervision from the immediate authority figures was better.
The issue with this young man's name, if none of you were able to figure this out yet, is that he was born late enough in American history to be named after the ball player with that same name. What im saying has nothing to do with the crime itself. What im telling you is that Carmelo was already famous and in the league prior to inspiring this young man's mother to annoint him with that name. It's not just a coincidence. So much time has past that we are now seeing young adult men named LeBron, Carmelo, etc.
That is the point I am making. I think most of you understood that point. If you missed that point, God help you.
Well yeah, the killer is worse than the piece of cr@p making jokes about the murder. Thanks for that revelation.
Well, we found the jailhouse bender. Anyway, the killer is an impulsive savage, his instincts not kept in check because of the lop-sided permissiveness in society that bends over backwards inorder to NOT hold certain ‘minawties’ responsible for their actions.
Our society has issues. Our country is big. White kids do crazy stuff too. Not sure how you can discount that. Any race can have a crazy person. Can't say whether race was a factor here. I think almost anyone is capable of doing crazy things in the wrong circumstances. I'll give you that some recent more lefty laws that are more lenient may be ineffective. That said, I think if you look more broadly at America, it's white people who have been held LEAST responsible for their actions. And I would say it is not close.
Wow, a 16 year old dead and a 17 year old going to prison for a very long time, maybe even life, over something that was probably stupid and inconsequential outside of high school athletics. The article doesn't say what led to the stabbing. It could have been an entanglement on the track for all we know. May the boy's family get justice for the life of their son.
Allegedly the killer felt like stabbing someone in texts, so it may as well be premeditated murder
I graduated from Centennial High School 10 years ago, where the attacker went. I still live in the DFW area. So basically (from local reports), the kid who killed him sent texts to someone that he felt like stabbing someone. He went to a different schools tent ( it was raining), an argument ensued with the young man he killed, and the killer was punched. After he got punched he stabbed him in the chest; the victim died minutes later. This was Witnessed by dozens of people. On Twitter, there seems to be annoying verbal diahhrea from “conservative” influencers that this was race related. But we don’t know as nothing shows for that. For example , in his texts he never said anything about finding a white boy to kill. When I graduated from centennial high school there was very little to no racial animosity between white and black races. The sports teams are mixed and the school is maybe 60-70 percent white and has many black students. The students come from middle class families as the area is fairly nice. So it’s unlikely this was racially motivated. What I believe happened, the black guy wanted to find someone to stab or threaten, he got in an argument with a student and he did what he wanted to do. Pretty much a premeditated murder, bringing a knife to a track meet planning for a confrontation.

Ok, you are either a foreign enemy taking active measures to sew dissent in America (Russia has been known to do such things), in which case you can fall down the stairs for all I care, or you are an internet rabbit-holed racist who's lost touch with reality. In which case I hope you get help and don't harm anyone.

Winner for the most disingenuous ‘dear fellow white people’ post of day. We can easily guess your hat size with this amateur exhibition of pil pul.
Hearing now that the deceased put his hands Mr Anthony to start the physical altercation.
Sorry, but if you put your hands on someone with the intent to harm them for any reason other than self-defense, you give that person the right to do whatever they feel they must in order to defend themselves.
