I woke up this morning to see videos of what may be a social media trend: black people randomly going up to white people—they look to be homeless men—and assaulting them, claiming that they were on the Karmelo Anthony jury.
The videos are made by the people doing the hitting, and don’t even have to be in Texas, so it’s obviously just about using the Karmelo Anthony conviction as a hook to gain clout for striking white people.

Racial slurs and pure hatred on camera. This wasn’t random. It was revenge for a Texas verdict.
How is this NOT a hate crime?@FBI @DOJ @FLPD
Arrest him NOW.
This is anti-White vigilante violence in broad daylight.
I don’t think it is a widespread trend, but clearly somebody is trying to start one. I say that because the same phrase, “jury selection,” is used in the videos, and they are all taken by the person committing the attacks.

These racists need to face serious legal consequences. Without swift and visible enforcement of the law, this anti-white trend of random assaults and false accusations will continue to escalate. Authorities must stop it now before frustrated whites decide to take matters into their own hands.
Obviously, nobody in Florida served on the jury, and the perpetrators knew that the jury wasn’t filled with people who appear to be homeless, or at least quite down and out.

It seems to be part of a larger trend of angry black people harassing random white people as an act of dominance, explicitly linking their race to being justifiable victims of assaults.

It has become fashionable to defend Karmelo Anthony, usually claiming that he was justified in killing Metcalf, and that if the races were reversed, Austin would have walked out of the courtroom a free man.

That’s not a fringe position, having been picked up by Jasmine Crockett and some, you guessed it, AWFLs who are siding with Karmelo and even praising him for not being sorry for killing Austin, kinda blowing the argument that he was just an innocent boy who made a mistake for which he is sorry.
🚨 JUST NOW: Jasmine Crockett says Karmelo Anthony was JUSTIFIED IN KlLLING Austin Metcalf because he “didn’t want to be put out in the rain by some random kid”

Black celebrities are raising money for Karmelo’s appeal, again focusing on race, admitting that they don’t care when white people are killed.

It’s not that all black people buy into this crap. I assume that most don’t, although they might grumble about his getting convicted for murder instead of manslaughter. I don’t think—I hope—that grievance culture has not infected them so much that they applaud or justify murdering a kid.

It’s all too easy to universalize what is a minority opinion because it’s louder and more unified. Just as it’s wrong to blame every white person for the racist opinions of a few, it’s wrong to reverse this tendency.

But the attitude is widespread and, by virtue of being normalized, growing, as is the backlash. You can get clout for filming yourself attacking random people for no reason, and the more that is true, the more it will happen.
White people better wake the fuck up. Black people are tribal, no matter what, they will defend reprehensible behavior by other blacks. If White people don’t wake up and start being more tribal, we’re fucked. Stop simping for people that hate you. pic.twitter.com/gWAnsAds2x

The tendency among white liberals and many of us in general is to downplay the problem rather than point it out and condemn it, so the reciprocal anger builds up as it did in Belfast, and when it comes out, it comes out in outbursts, which only makes things worse.

Race relations are getting worse, and there is a large group of people egging it on. People will point to the Proud Boys and other racist groups out there as the instigators, and I agree that they are vile. But they are not going out there and randomly assaulting people, just marching, often silently, and they are not getting widespread support and celebrities celebrating them.
Black Woman is outraged over how Black Americans are acting over the Karmelo Anthony verdict

“I’m not gonna lie to you, being Black right now is completely embarrassing. You ***** are some of the most vile, inhumane species that have ever graced the earth. For days, I’ve watched Black people jump around like monkeys, act a belligerent fool, act a whole entire nut over a decision that somebody chose to do. And now y’all are out here harming innocent white people in the name of Karmelo Anthony”
She gives a long speech about how the perception of black people is completely the fault of themselves
This is a great moment of someone very smart and not afraid to call out the reality of what’s taking place
“The behavior is still the same. We have not learned nothing. Because we have learned nothing, we are continuing to rot as a nation”
Fairly or not, it’s on black people to police this social behavior, because the more white people try, the more the resentment will grow. We don’t have the moral weight with the people doing this or supporting it. We can’t shame them, because they already hate us. It’s as useful as explaining to the IRGC that they shouldn’t hate us.

I don’t care if the black people who make the effort think that whites are more racist than most of us are; all I care about is for them to tamp down the frenzy that is growing.

People are trying to gin up a race war. That won’t end well for anybody, and lest anybody think that it would be good to be on the “winning” side, nothing short of genocide would lead to its final conclusion.

Not to mention, black people are the greatest victims of crime by feral black teenagers. While whites are the targets of the incidents that wind up on social media, posted for clout, it’s black people who suffer as victims of feral black perpetrators far more often. Not only are black men the most demographically inclined to commit crimes, but they commit most of them against other black people.

Legal Activist Calls Austin Metcalf’s Grieving Family ‘White Supremacists’ and ‘Pigs’https://t.co/wwVks8qexw

I don’t know how many of these “activists” really believe that Karmelo was justified in killing Austin, or whether this is just reveling in hatred and rage for its own sake. Are they justifying their own worst impulses, or do they really believe that they should be at war with random white people?
I don’t know, and frankly I don’t care. What I do care about is the fact that celebrating murder is good for gaining clout. When something is celebrated and rewarded, you get more of it.
UPDATE: I struck out the reference to the Proud Boys. As people pointed out, they may not be primarily racist, and in any case, I really don’t know that much about them.
