There’s a popular saying: There are two Americas. This phrase was vindicated on Tuesday after Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf. For one America, the sane America, this was the obvious verdict. For the other America, the racist America, Anthony should have been acquitted and seen as the victim because he’s black.

The Anthony case is very simple: At a track meet, the young man entered the opposing team’s tent while armed with a knife. When asked to move, he refused and made threats. When the hostile Anthony was physically confronted about being where he did not belong, he stabbed an innocent kid in the heart with a knife, leaving Metcalf to bleed to death in his twin brother Hunter’s arms. Anthony admitted to this after the stabbing.
