A 17-year-old student, Austin Metcalf, was stabbed to death at a high school track event in Frisco, Texas, dying in the arms of his twin brother.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident began when Metcalf told Karmelo Anthony, a black teen from a different school, that he was sitting in the wrong spot. Anthony responded by stabbing Metcalf in the heart and fleeing, leaving him to die in his brother’s arms.

Karmelo Anthony has since been arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The story has gone viral on social media, sparking widespread outrage.
However, this incident raises a broader concern: unprovoked attacks on white individuals are occurring at an alarming and increasing rate.
Countless reports detail white men, women, and children being violently assaulted by black individuals without apparent reason.
These acts, often classified as hate crimes, are unacceptable.
While this recent attack is shocking, it prompts a question: is this behavior truly new? Haven’t we witnessed a pattern of violence from a certain group for far too long?
And more importantly what are we doing about black crime?
To understand the growing racial divide in America, we should reflect on other recent crimes that have deepened the rift between White and Black Americans.
Tessa Majors (2019)
18-year old Barnard College student who died after she was stabbed in Morningside Park in Upper Manhattan, N.Y., Dec. 11, 2019.
Tessa Majors, an 18-year-old freshman at Barnard College, was stabbed to death in New York City by three black teens during an attempted robbery. The three teenage boys attacked the young woman over a purse, resulting in her death.
One of the teenagers was 14-years-old...
During the legal proceedings, their attorney argued that the teens’ difficult childhoods warranted a lighter sentence.

On August 9, 2020, 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant was shot in the head by Darius Sessoms, a 25-year-old Black neighbor, while riding his bike outside his home in Wilson, North Carolina.
Sessoms was charged with first-degree murder and later sentenced to life in prison without parole after entering an Alford plea in December 2022.
The motive for the killing remains unclear, though many speculate it was racially motivated due to the racial difference between the victim and the perpetrator.
What on earth would posess a man to shoot a 5-year-old child in the head? What could drive a person to commit such an act against a young, defenseless victim?
There is no reason or logic behind the act, just senseless violence.

In October 2022, Darrell Edward Brooks Jr., a 39-year-old Black man from Milwaukee, drove a red Ford Escape SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing six people and injuring over 60 others.
One of the victims was 8-year-old Jackson Sparks, a white boy marching with his baseball team. He died from the injuries caused by Brooks.
The other fatalities included four women and one man, mostly older members of the "Dancing Grannies" group (Virginia Sorenson, 79; LeAnna Owen, 71; Tamara Durand, 52; Jane Kulich, 52; and Wilhelm Hospel, 81), all white.
The motive? Brooks was trying to hit as many people as possible after an argument with his ex-girlfriend...
Jordan Neely (2023)
Jordan Neely, a Black man with a history of mental illness and multiple arrests—including charges for assault and fare evasion—threatened passengers on a New York City subway, among them a mother with her child.
On May 1, 2023, Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old white former U.S. Marine, intervened to subdue Neely and prevent potential harm. During the restraint, Neely died from compression to the neck.

A 32-year-old social justice and climate activist was stabbed in Brooklyn after he looked in the direction of Brian Dowling, a black man passing by on the side walk.
Surveillance video footage shows Dowling pulling out a knife and stabbing Carson, who tries to run for his life but trips over a bus stop bench in front of his horrified girlfriend.
Dowling’s attorney called him a “good kid” not “looking for trouble,” framing it as a spontaneous act.
What was Dowling doing before the murder? Kicking scooters and reacting aggressively when people told him off. What a respectable member of society. Going around destroying property and looking for a fight.
Mentally disabled boy (2017)
On January 3, 2017, a group of Black teens in Chicago kidnapped an 18-year-old white male with mental disabilities and held him captive for approximately five hours.
The assailants filmed the torture, which they also live-streamed on Facebook. In the disturbing footage, the teens are seen forcing the victim to drink toilet water, cutting him, partially scalping him, choking him, and beating him.
Throughout the video, the attackers can be heard making derogatory statements targeting white people and then-President Donald Trump.
White people are under attack!
Let’s quit acting like these horrific crimes are some rare, random fluke. Black violence is constant—it’s an everyday thing.
Every single day, you hear about another white person getting stabbed, beaten, or raped by violent Black criminals.
If you call them out for their anti-social behaviour you risk being stabbed or assaulted. How did we get to this point?
Black culture is the issue here, and Black communities aren’t doing a damn thing to fix it. Meanwhile, law enforcement’s too terrified to crack down hard because they’re scared of the backlash.
It’s time to ditch Black culture altogether. It’s garbage. It’s violent. It’s dumb. And it’s got no business in a civilized society.
