Carmelo Anthony was sitting under the wrong tent. Not that that really matters, but you can understand that in high school, kids are going to be like, hey, this isn't your school's tent. Get into your own tent. And then

people posture, you know, you could see maybe a, you know, a fight ensuing, but the fact that this Carmelo Anthony kid so quickly reached for a knife and stabbed Austin Metcalf in the chest to me, to Blake's earlier point, There's zero explanation of why that was a rational or justifiable move in that moment other than a complete wild overreaction.

Now, his family member, apparently, Kevin Hayes is a relative of Carmelo Anthony, says it was self-defense and that he panicked after being allegedly jumped. I've seen no indication that Austin Metcalf jumped him other than to try and probably grab him and push him out of the tent.

Now, you could argue that that was the wrong thing to do, but these kind of things happen all the time in high school. And to say that it was somehow justifiable to stab him and that there's nearly $300,000 that has poured into his legal defense fund of people that seemingly agree is the part that troubles me so deeply. To me, this has nothing to do with race. I mean, it shouldn't.

It has to do with the fact that one kid overreacted and killed another kid, robbed him of his life and his future over what? Over what? This is insane. Yeah, over a seat.

Well, and he said this to police. He said, I'm not alleged. I did it. and stated that Metcalf had placed his hands on him after being told not to. That to me is just thuggish behavior. I'm sorry. I'm just going to call it what it is. That is somebody that has been idolizing like gang culture, rap culture, thug culture. And it's like big man. Oh, nobody's going to mess with you. You touch me.

I'm going to kill you. Like as if that is somehow to be lauded and looked up to. No, if you want to tell somebody that they're not allowed to put their hands on you, then use your fists or not at all. Like, sorry, you don't pull out a knife and stab a dude in the chest because he puts his hand on you when he asks you to leave. Like, this is insane.

And the fact that there is anybody, anybody supporting those actions is beyond the pale and really an indictment of of some really sick twisted narratives that are floating around this country.

Blake, why don't you call out the elephant in the room here? I think you're 100% right. We're messaging.

Boomers especially were raised in a country with the civil rights era, and they wanted to see themselves as post-racial. And what happened is you had a bunch of whites. The country was essentially 90%, 85% white as they were growing up, and they wanted to believe that it was post-racial. And I think it was true for boomer whites.
