A Young kid is getting railroaded and made public enemy number one for defending himself and these supposed street rappers aren't gonna come out and defend him like they did thug or whoever? What happened to black collective support? Or are they scared of pissing off the people that allow them to have a career and damage black cultural image??

everyone should support karmelo, rap aint got anything to do with it

But the rappers pretend to support the black community

Um yeah probably the latter

That boy is being charged in Texas, yeah he could use all the help he can get to avoid an insane sentence

not just in texas but in collin county yeah that boy cooked sorry

Murder is nothing to be in support of, at the very least it’s not a good look in terms of brand deals etc.

Drake did several songs saying free thug......

Meek mill did

I pray the actual evidence exonerates him

Fr?

Like he always does but people overlook him

Bruh all rappers do is come out in support of murder
Have people lost any sense???

havent read the entire story but just the headlines, he got shoved at a track meet then escalated to stabbing someone?

is there a detail im missing to justify the stabbing

nah he just crashed

f*** that lil nigga tbh

reading more into it i get the following in terms of people "defending him"

1. right wing media may be pushing this a lot because its black violence and portrays a stereotype, unfair for him
2. people believe he may have been treated better if he was white (ie. oh but hes a good kid, high average, athletic, etc)
3. some attempt to claim racial self defense

first two seem fair but more inline with "he did something bad, lets make sure he gets treated fairly", last one is a stretch it seems

Im sorry i dont support karmelo man
That is ridiculous what he did and people gotta stop justifying it. Im open to changing my opinion as more evidence comes out but this is just bullshit american "self defense"

black people have a right to defend themselves from violent whites

F*** you. Black Men will always defend themselves against racist whites

Eye witnesses said the racist white boys tried to jump him and were continuously physically assaulting him. If someone tried to jump me I would defend myself in a similar way

if thats actually true i support him

what @kurapika_20 said, if this true then yeah i support him 100%

The fact that no musician seems to take a stand artistically about everything old Trump is doing is a very big let down.

Kenny don’t say s***
Trump wanna take over Canada and Drake don’t say s***
They all act like nothing is happening

I believe there’s a bad stigma on any situation pertaining to “wokeness” now.

Plus many rappers are adapting conservative white male ideologies and mindsets lately. I blame streamers and rappers being afraid of being criticized for being a social justice warrior ..

It’s dead for all that s***.

Rappers never cared for anyone except rappers lol. Y'all think they do this s*** for fun? It's a job and luxury lifeline first before anything else
