Karmelo Anthony found guilty of murder in fatal stabbing of Frisco student Austin Metcalf

54. "Anyone that can't acknowledge America's history of racism shouldn't take part in judging another."

You confidently assume that this is the case for the jurors in question and yet you know nothing about them apart from their race. Again, do you not think it's even a tiny bit problematic to make such sweeping assumptions about people based on nothing more than their race? Hint: there's a specific word for that.

Furthermore, there's no evidence that America's history of racism had any impact on this particular case. It's very, very clear that Anthony reacted with force far out of proportion to the threat he perceived. A shove is not lethal force in the context of one young man touching another. There's no reasonable claim of lethal self-defense here in the legal context and certainly no claim of lethal self-defense in the moral sense.

I can't help but wonder if you'd perceive this case differently if the ethnicities of Anthony and Metcalf were swapped but all other facts remain the same. Based on your comments on this thread, I rather suspect you'd view it differently.
