Karmelo Anthony Spokesman Urges Fight Against ‘White Supremacy’ After Anthony’s Murder Indictment for Austin Metcalf Stabbing
After Karmelo Anthony was indicted for first-degree murder in connection with the fatal stabbing in April of Texas high school star athlete Austin Metcalf, a high-profile Anthony spokesman reacted Monday by calling for a fight against “white supremacy” and blasting “bigots” and “racists.”
Dominique Alexander — president of Next Generation Action Network — posted on X: “To the racists, the bigots, and those filled with hate who’ve targeted Karmelo, his family, and even myself — you do not intimidate us. We are not backing down.”
Alexander also asked Anthony supporters to “stand with us in the fight against white supremacy” as the case against him moves forward and added, “This case is yet another example of what it means to be Black in America, where even our self-defense is questioned, scrutinized, and politicized.”
Frisco police arrested Anthony and charged him with first-degree murder after Metcalf was fatally stabbed April 2 at a track meet at Kuykendall Stadium. Anthony reportedly told police, “I did it,” in reference to the stabbing after Metcalf allegedly put his hands on Anthony in an effort to get the suspect to leave from under a tent. Anthony has been claiming self-defense.
While Anthony is black and Metcalf was white, Metcalf’s father — Jeff Metcalf — early on urged those on social media to not use his son’s death to stir up political and racial divisiveness, WFAA-TV reported.
