Who kills more black males than anyone else? Other black males.

That is why the available data should tell you that if you are the parent of a black son, you should be far more concerned about what other young black men may do to him than what race-baiters and grievance-mongers may have to say about the Karmelo Anthony verdict.

We are tired of the fake black bravado culture that costs young men their lives and then demands that everyone else pretend the killer is the victim.

A jury in Texas deliberated for less than three hours this week before declaring Anthony guilty of first-degree murder for stabbing Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet last year. The judge sentenced the 19-year-old to 35 years in prison.

Justice was done. The facts are clear. And since this is 2026, not 1956, I am strenuously declaring any attempt to build an indefinite period of racial grievance around this case unavailable for the historically aggrieved. Those days are over.

I do not owe anyone moral deference because of skin color. I owe my neighbor love. I owe him fairness. I owe him the truth. I owe him the same moral standard I owe every other neighbor.

That cuts in every direction. You might be black, white, Hispanic, Asian, gay, straight, male, female, rich, poor, Christian, atheist, or whatever. None of it gives you permission to stab another young man and then demand that the country treat you as the victim.

My ancestors were so-called greasy Catholic dago wops who arrived with little, lived in real ghettos, worked thankless jobs, had children, and actually made their way in America in spite of it all. My mother had a kid at 15 — me — earned a GED, went to college, and improved her life. I was on food stamps and government cheese before we made our way forward together.

I owe you nothing.

The race-baiting Jezebel Jasmine Crockett has lived a far more privileged life than my mother or I ever did. She happens to be black, but I’m way more ghetto than she is.

So we’re done with her nonsense. The incendiary name-calling no longer works the way it once did. Americans under 60 are not moved by every accusation of racism. Many younger white male voters now respond with open contempt when activists try to turn criminal cases into racial theater. They don’t care — and they can’t wait to tell you so.

We are tired of the fake black bravado culture that costs young men their lives and then demands that everyone else pretend the killer is the victim. You do not get to stab someone because your feelings were hurt. You do not get to talk yourself into violence and then ask the public to blame society for your choices.

Two young men are gone from their families in different ways. One is dead. One will spend much of his life in prison. Both outcomes are terrible. Neither outcome can be fixed by pretending that race explains away responsibility.

If you are black in America, you face a choice: Are you black or are you American? It’s your call, and I’m praying you make the right one, because this nation needs all the loyal patriots it can get right now.

But if you make the wrong decision, please know that your fate will be yours and yours alone. We’ve run out of patience with any racial decadence, disarray, and deviance. We have no time to coddle you as we try to save what’s left of this culture. Try being a better human.

If a black male is more likely to be assaulted by a black male and a white male is more likely to be assaulted by a black male, then you're only left with two options as to why that is the case: Either Charles Darwin was right about some races being favored over others — his book “Descent of Man” is the guidebook for modern eugenics and one of the most racist things you'll ever read — or you can believe that despite being made in the likeness and image of God like the rest of us, modern black culture just sucks and we’re tired of paying for it.

For the record, I believe the latter. Either way, it's 2026, and the time for a reckoning is at hand. It’s your sin, not mine. Take responsibility for your actions. Stop wasting your life. Leave the ghetto behind.

The choice is yours.

So are the consequences.

‘Terrifying if that is true’: Glenn Beck reveals the chilling reality the Karmelo Anthony trial just exposed

On June 9, Karmelo Anthony, 19, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison.

He was found guilty in the April 2, 2025, fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a track athlete from a rival high school, during a Frisco Independent School District track meet in Frisco, Texas. Anthony, then a student at Centennial High, stabbed Metcalf in the chest during an altercation.

Anthony’s defense claimed he acted in self-defense, despite Metcalf being unarmed.

While both the prosecution and defense maintained that race played no role in the crime, the story has been heavily racialized publicly due to the fact that Anthony is black, Metcalf was white, and no black jurors were seated.

“They want you to see not the dead boy and the knife and even the testimony. They just want you to see color. They want you to see a black defendant and a white victim. That's it,” says Glenn Beck.

To prove his point, Glenn plays clips from TPUSA frontlines reporter Savanah Hernandez interviewing Anthony supporters outside the courthouse.

In the first clip, she speaks with a black mother.

“If evidence does come out that Karmelo was not in fact fighting for his life when he stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf, do you think that the black community will accept that?” Hernandez asked.

“No, we going to stand by ours regardless,” she said, acknowledging that the trial “is about race.”

Glenn is sickened by this response and argues that it is possible to stand by someone in love without defending objectively evil actions.

“We stay by our kids' side just as God stays by our side when we screw up. He loves us. He's with us. But he requires a penalty,” he says.

He then plays a second clip from Hernandez speaking with a black minister.

“I come out here every Thursday, and we pray for people going to court because we know this is the final frontier of racism, and it’s legalized here,” he said, before adding that he “just [wants] justice done.”

“I believe he's got a good heart. I just think he is misguided ... because people want you to believe that this is just an endless American morality play of systemic racism over and over again,” says Glenn.

“They want you to ignore that Anthony was asked to leave 15 times, that he put his hand into the bag and dared them. He said, ‘I'm not leaving. F you all,’” he continues. “They want outrage; they don't want evidence. Division, not truth.”

As for the jury, Glenn defends it, arguing “a jury of your peers doesn't mean people who look like you.”

“It does mean this: citizens who can set aside their bias — racial, political, cultural — and weigh the evidence with integrity,” he says.

“Perhaps we think that the juror needs to look like us because we don't think people of other color hold the same values, and that is terrifying if that is true,” he continues. “And these voices here that I just played for you make me think that is true.”

White-hating agitator claiming Karmelo Anthony was 'legally lynched' is a criminal, disgraced ex-judge

A race agitator who has railed against the criminal justice system over the murder conviction of Karmelo Anthony has a criminal conviction that has resulted in a suspended law license.

Thelma Anderson has made multiple appearances on camera since Anthony was found guilty of murder on Tuesday in the stabbing of Austin Metcalf in April 2025. Anderson and others professed that Anthony, who is black, was the real victim, not Metcalf, who was white.

During this suspension, Anderson is prohibited from 'practicing law in Texas.'

She told Roland Martin that the courthouse was a "slaughterhouse," that Anthony and his family had been "legally lynched" by the system and the Metcalf family, and that "the energy right now is their white supremacy."

Anderson also took aim at the prosecutor, characterizing him as "overzealous" and accusing him of lying during the trial. She even claimed he has an "unethical background."

Anderson did not elaborate on what the prosecutor had supposedly done, but she also failed to mention some key details about her own background.

Though she implied to groups gathered outside the courthouse that she offered legal expertise "as a former prosecutor," Anderson cannot currently practice law in the state of Texas. According to the State Bar of Texas, her license has been under "interlocutory suspension" since March 3 for "disciplinary reasons."

Indeed, in May 2024, the DOJ charged Anderson with three counts related to a COVID-relief loan. She subsequently pled guilty to one count of wire fraud and was sentenced to four years of probation and ordered to pay nearly $21,000 in restitution to the U.S. Small Business Administration, according to the Board of Disciplinary Appeals appointed by the Texas Supreme Court.

Though Anderson has appealed her conviction, the federal charges alone led to her dismissal from her position as a part-time substitute municipal judge in Forth Worth. A month after they were filed, the Fort Worth City Council voted unanimously to remove her.

Earlier this year, a three-member panel of the Board of Disciplinary Appeals appointed by the Texas Supreme Court claimed that Anderson had attempted to game the system regarding her disciplinary hearing by "repeatedly" seeking to delay the board's decision "through last-minute filings and tactics."

According to the interlocutory order of suspension, Anderson filed at least seven motions between the afternoon of January 29 and just before midnight on February 26 requesting some type of delay or reconsideration.

Those motions may have slowed the progress of her case, but they ultimately did not prevent the board from suspending her license.

"Having been convicted of an intentional and serious crime and having appealed such conviction, respondent, Thelma M. Anderson, shall have her license to practice law in Texas suspended during the appeal of her criminal conviction," the board decided.

Additionally, during this suspension, Anderson is prohibited from "practicing law in Texas, holding herself out as an attorney at law, performing any legal service for others, accepting any fee directly or indirectly for legal services not completed before the date of this order, appearing as counsel in any proceeding in any Texas court or before any Texas administrative body, or holding herself out to others or using her name, in any manner, in conjunction with the words 'attorney at law,' 'attorney,' 'counselor at law,' 'Esquire,' 'Esq.' or 'lawyer,'" the board ruled.

In response to a request for comment about the wire fraud conviction, Anderson told Blaze News, "Continue to watch." Anderson hung up after Blaze News requested comment about the suspended law license.

Bill Wirskye, who prosecuted the Anthony case, did not respond to a request for comment.

Karmelo Anthony appeals his murder conviction in stabbing death of Austin Metcalf

Karmelo Anthony has filed a notice of appeal in the wake of his murder conviction earlier this week in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, last year, KDFW-TV reported.

Anthony, 19, was sentenced to 35 years in prison Tuesday — the same day he was found guilty of murder. He will be eligible for parole after he serves half that time behind bars. The Collin County jury that convicted him also sentenced him; the term of Anthony's sentence open to jurors ranged from five years to 99 years behind bars.

'It's really, really tough to convince the Court of Appeals to overturn a jury verdict once the jury has sat through and heard all the evidence.'

Anthony's attorneys formally filed the notice of appeal, KDFW said, adding that the filing is a routine procedure in serious felony cases, doesn't mean a new trial has been granted, and that the appeal process can take months or even years to resolve.

Dallas appellate attorney David Coale told KTVT-TV that Anthony's legal team could have several strong arguments on appeal — but that any appeal won't be about what the jury heard; rather it would focus on whether the trial was handled correctly.

The case will be assigned to the 5th District Court of Appeals, which is in downtown Dallas, KTVT said, adding that the 5th District Court of Appeals hears all cases from Dallas County, Collin County, and several other metropolitan counties.

KTVT added that Anthony's attorneys next will request that the Collin County District Clerk's Office send documents to the Court of Appeals and that the court reporter prepare a transcript addressing the facts of the case and any legal issues.

The defense likely will argue that there wasn't enough evidence to convict for murder, KTVT said.

But appellate attorney Chad Ruback told KTVT that may prove to be a difficult road.

"It's really, really tough to convince the Court of Appeals to overturn a jury verdict once the jury has sat through and heard all the evidence," Ruback noted to the station. "It's entirely possible that the attorneys for Mr. Anthony could argue that maybe the trial court judge didn't let in some evidence that would have swayed the jury, that would have persuaded the jury to render a not guilty verdict, or a manslaughter verdict, for example."

A new mug shot of Anthony was taken Tuesday — the day of his conviction and sentencing — after he was placed in the custody of the Collin County Sheriff's Office:

On Wednesday, Anthony was transported to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice where another new booking photo was taken, KDFW reported.

Anthony was then transported to his unit of assignment at the Pack Unit near Navasota, KDFW added. Navasota is about three and a half hours south of Frisco.

In addition, Anthony's GiveSendGo fundraiser — which took in around $630,000 for legal and living expenses — was shut down the day after his conviction and sentencing, the New York Post reported.

GiveSendGo differs from GoFundMe as it allows fundraisers for criminal cases, and the Post added that the platform confirmed the fundraiser closure in a statement to the paper.

“The fundraiser was supported to support pre-trial needs, and those funds were disbursed over the last year,” the statement read, according to the Post. “With that stated purpose complete, the fundraiser has been closed.”

However, Anthony's mother — Kala Hayes — just launched a new GiveSendGo fundraiser dedicated to her son's appeal.

The monetary goal is $425,000; as of noon Thursday $60 has been raised.

'You can't look me in the eyes, but you can stab my f**king son?!' Austin Metcalf's dad humiliates Karmelo Anthony in court

After Karmelo Anthony was found guilty Tuesday of murdering Austin Metcalf in a stabbing at a Frisco, Texas, high school track meet in 2025 — and the same jury soon after sentenced Anthony to 35 years in prison — Metcalf's loved ones read impact statements in a Collin County courtroom with Anthony present.

Jeff Metcalf, the victim's father, called his son a friend, a leader, and a true warrior, KDFW-TV reported.

'My son's death destroyed the person I used to be.'

"Since the day he first grabbed my finger, he had my heart with it," Metcalf said, according to the station, which added that the elder Metcalf also spoke about the joy he felt while watching both of his sons on the field at the same time.

Jeff Metcalf also said the public response to his son's murder was sickening, KDFW reported, adding that he said he was targeted in six swatting calls and the victim's mother has been targeted twice.

"With a gag order, I can't defend myself when people want to tear down my son's memory. That time is over!" Jeff Metcalf added, according to the station. "I said from day one this was never about race. It's about right and wrong. We are all humans. We all bleed the same color. You will face those consequences starting today." Anthony is black; Metcalf was white.

Jeff Metcalf also spoke directly to Anthony, KDFW reported: "You failed your parents, yourself, and society. You don't belong in this community."

"My son's death destroyed the person I used to be," the father added, according to WFAA-TV. "He does not exist any more."

Jeff Metcalf added that "people think grief is sadness; it is not. It is rage. Pure, unfiltered rage," he said, slamming his fist on a table with his voice rising, WFAA noted.

The enraged father added to Anthony, "You can't look me in the eyes, but you can stab my f**king son?!" KDFW reported.

With that, the judge motioned to prosecutor Bill Wirskye about the cursing, WFAA said.

Indeed, a reporter in a KXAS-TV video called Jeff Metcalf's impact statement "full of rage" and noted that the judge had the prosecutor and a bailiff "step in" although Metcalf was allowed to finish reading his impact statement.

When he was done, Jeff Metcalf stared at Anthony the entire time he walked past him — just two feet from his son's convicted killer, WFAA reported.

Hunter Metcalf, the twin brother of the victim, also observed the lack of eye contact and asked Anthony to look him in the eye, KDFW reported: "I would really respect that."

Hunter Metcalf said he's been trying to learn how to forgive, KDFW said, adding that he also said he's chosen God and is trying to understand why his brother and best friend was taken from him.

"Now I want everything taken from you," Hunter Metcalf told Anthony, KDFW reported. "You took everything from me. I wake up every morning, and his door is still shut."

Megan Metcalf, the victim's mother, talked about raising two energetic, loving souls, KDFW said: "Now I only have videos and memories of his laugh."

The mother talked about the morning of the track meet, KDFW said, adding that she recalled packing her son a snack and giving him a hug — yet not realizing it would be the last time she would embrace her boy.

"You may have been given a sentence of 35 years. You should feel lucky," Megan Metcalf told Anthony, KDFW said. "I've been sentenced to a lifetime without my son."

KDFW noted that Anthony, 19, will be eligible for parole after he serves half of his 35-year sentence. His murder conviction could have resulted in a prison sentence of as little as five years to as many as 99 years.

During the sentencing deliberation, the jury was considering whether Anthony acted out of "sudden passion," which would have limited his time behind bars to 20 years, KDFW said.

The reporter in the KXAS video described Anthony as "shaking" and "sobbing" and displaying a "sheer look of shock" on his face after his guilty verdict was read. The reporter added that Anthony was "trembling" in his chair and "sobbing" as his mother asked the jury during the sentencing phase to "please have mercy on my son."

A new mug shot of Anthony was taken Tuesday after he was placed in the custody of the Collin County Sheriff's Office following his guilty verdict.

In addition, the reporter in the KXAS video said Anthony was seen mouthing the words "I'm sorry" to his family and added that Anthony's parents were not in court for his sentencing or for the impact statements.
