Girls have been r@p£d in this country, yet the government has not done enough to address the issue. Instead, they are focusing on the murder of 15-year-old Ghanaian Javits Frimpong in the United States. —Koka criticises the government for giving more attention to issues involving Ghanaians abroad while serious problems at home remain unresolved.

If Nolan would have defended himself against whatever was done to him, he'd be in jail and y'all would be saying he should have walked away. If Nolan drowned, y'all would be saying he should have known how to swim better. If Nolan was running away and he was attacked from behind, y'all would have said he shouldn't have ran so he must have done something. If Nolan was with a group of Black kids, y'all would have said he shouldn't have been hanging out with a bunch of "thugs".

Immediately after the conviction, Karmelo Anthony’s father reached out to me and asked for help assembling a new legal team to fight for his son’s future. From that moment, we have been working nonstop to bring together experienced appellate and civil rights attorneys to review every aspect of this case and pursue relief through the courts. Today’s filing, formally replacing prior counsel and placing this new team on the record, is the first step in that process. We remain committed to ensuring that Karmelo receives a full and fair review of his conviction and sentence, consistent with both the evidence and the law. This is not about headlines; it is about due process, accountability, and the pursuit of justice for a young man whose life now depends on what happens on appeal.

The truth is, we as FBAs have fought to create a lane for Black actors here that they haven't fought for in the U.K. and instead of fighting, they come here and benefit/exploit our progress. They don't fight because they're 'guests' in the U.K., we're the 'foundation' here.

I wish they would just admit they can’t or don’t want to do the work in the UK and it’s just easier to benefit off us.

The Karmelo Anthony verdict shows that the justice system has reverted back to the Jim Crow South era. It is no longer about evidence. It is no longer about right or wrong. It is about keeping racial score through the prosecution and imprisonment of Black people. It was no surprise that an all white jury would find a 19 year old kid, who was bullied and harassed by two 6’1” bullies, guilty of murder while he was minding his business. We have seen this story before. A young Black man is put on trial, and somehow the burden shifts from what happened to him, to why he should not have defended himself. The facts become secondary. The optics become everything. The outcome feels predetermined long before the verdict is read. People will tell you not to make it about race. But race has always been part of the story in America. The hard truth is that many Black people no longer believe they will receive the benefit of the doubt when their freedom is on the line. And verdicts like this are exactly why. At some point, we have to stop pretending that everyone is playing by the same set of rules. Because the people watching this case saw something very different than what that jury claimed to see.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Clarification: While the jury in K Anthony’s murder trial had no Black jurors, it was not all White. Reports confirm a diverse panel including White, Hispanic, Asian, and other jurors (e.g., 5 White males noted in coverage, plus women of color). newsnationnow.com/crime/karmelo-… cbsnews.com/texas/news/jur… newsnationnow.com/crime/karmelo-… foxnews.com/us/karmelo-ant… reddit.com/r/texas/commen…

🚨MAJOR BREAK! Someone DIRECTLY involved in the booking process has confirmed to me that our “Egyptians” who flew into Provo ahead of Charlie Kirk’s assasination were staying at the La Quinta Inn & Suites in Orem, Utah. Specifically, the University Parkway location. Remember, Our “Egyptians” flew in on September 4th and stayed through September 13th. We are now looking for FOOTAGE of these individuals. If you own a store nearby and can check cameras or perhaps you work at La Quinta and you remember something odd. Someone it Utah may hold the key to solving this. Please Email: [email protected]

“Black fatigue” was a book written by a black woman in 2020 basically talking about how black people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Just add it to the list of things taken from you.

I would like to sincerely thank @DisneyStudios for single handedly ending Wokeness in Hollywood. I wish all the executives who participated in Disney’s new Live Action “Snow White” the best of luck in their new jobs outside of Show Business…
Opening Friday night for Disney’s Snow White in IMAX. Only ONE person bought tickets for tonight. Yeah this movie's gonna flop.

I’m pretty sure the message in this show was that Satan lost and the children will no longer be harmed. It was an overall message to let the Satanic, Hollywood, Elite know their time is up. The game is over.

Photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California. Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory! I only wish they listened to me six years ago – There would have been no fire!
