Karmelo Anthony's Fate Was Decided in the 1600s Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

This episode tackles the devastating 35-year sentence handed to Carmelo Anthony, a Black teenager who defended himself against white aggressors at a track meet in Texas. The host draws historical parallels to the 1640s case of John Punch, one of the first instances of racially disparate sentencing in America. The conversation doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths: that Black Americans are living in what amounts to an abusive relationship with white supremacist systems, and that the legal frameworks designed to protect us are being systematically dismantled. This episode asks the hardest question of all—are we collectively insane for thinking we can make this work? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
