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.

Two months have passed since high school senior Karmelo Anthony allegedly fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. The killing sparked national outrage and reopened difficult debates — about race (Karmelo is black, Austin was white), school safety, and the crisis among young men in America.

Also justice. While the Metcalf family mourns — and has to contend with being swatted — Anthony’s bond was reduced and quickly paid. He now awaits trial from the comfort of a new home, funded by hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from supporters. He was even allowed to graduate on May 22, though he did not attend the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Anthony’s family and legal team have mounted a public relations offensive. In an outrageous press conference, they blamed Austin’s father, Jeff Metcalf, the Frisco Independent School District, and even systemic racism for Anthony’s predicament.

The strategy is clear: Rebrand Karmelo Anthony as a victim. They want the public to believe he was a mostly peaceful teen forced to act in self-defense after being told to change seats.

No new evidence has emerged in the case, but the existing facts undermine Anthony’s claim of self-defense. He allegedly brought a knife to the event, provoked the confrontation with Metcalf, fled the scene after the stabbing, and later asked a police officer whether he could plead self-defense. His actions — before, during, and after the incident — suggest intent, not fear. (Read more from “Karmelo Anthony Is No Civil Rights Icon and Never Will Be” HERE)
