Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's what
- 0:02Speaker 1: would you tell the mom outside of the Carmelo Anthony
- 0:04Speaker 1: courthouse who wondered what she should tell her five sons
- 0:07Speaker 1: after the verdict was announced. Well, let's ask our American mama's.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Mama, Mama, she.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Said, joining us now, our American mama is Terry Neediville
- 0:25Speaker 1: and Kimberly Burlison. Okay. So there was a lady outside
- 0:29Speaker 1: of the courthouse Carmelo Anthony up in I think it
- 0:31Speaker 1: was in Collin County, Texas, just north of Dallas, where
- 0:34Speaker 1: Camaralo Carmelo Anthony was convicted of first degree murder sentenced
- 0:38Speaker 1: to thirty five years in prison. And outside people were
- 0:43Speaker 1: outraged that a young black man was not able to
- 0:48Speaker 1: stab a white man in the chest. They thought he
- 0:51Speaker 1: should have been able to just that would have been fine.
- 0:55Speaker 1: And there's a lady who stood and she was yelling
- 0:57Speaker 1: and said, what do I tell my five sons? I've
- 1:00Speaker 1: got five sons, What do I tell them? Now? So
- 1:03Speaker 1: what does she what does she tell her five sons?
- 1:05Speaker 2: Don't stab people, don't kill people. That's what you say
- 1:10Speaker 2: to your sons.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Thank you if you like to ask her America Mom
- 1:12Speaker 1: was a question period. I mean, that's that's That's basically
- 1:16Speaker 1: how simple this is, isn't it right?
- 1:18Speaker 3: You know, they've made this about race from day one,
- 1:21Speaker 3: and it's so interesting to me that had this been reversed,
- 1:26Speaker 3: Had this been reversed, can you imagine if we went
- 1:29Speaker 3: out there and tried to defend the white boy that
- 1:31Speaker 3: stabbed this black boy that just simply was trying to
- 1:34Speaker 3: get them out of the tent. Yeah, what would that
- 1:36Speaker 3: look like?
- 1:36Speaker 1: Well, start off with the white student going into a tent, yeah,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and say, no, I have the right to be in
- 1:44Speaker 1: this tent that's not from my school, not from my
- 1:46Speaker 1: my area. No, I'm just going to be here.
- 1:49Speaker 3: They have this race baiting hustler spokesperson for them, that
- 1:52Speaker 3: from the very beginning made it about race, and they
- 1:56Speaker 3: had that GoFundMe where they raised I think millions of dollars,
- 2:00Speaker 3: and they bought a house, they bought new cars, and.
- 2:04Speaker 1: So they've profited off of murder.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Yes, they have, for sure. Well I found out today.
- 2:09Speaker 3: I was just listening to everybody's take in the courtroom
- 2:13Speaker 3: when it was time for the impact statements by the
- 2:17Speaker 3: family of the slain the brother. The aunt got up there.
- 2:21Speaker 3: The brother got up there, and the brother looks at
- 2:23Speaker 3: Carmelo and said, very respectfully, can you just look at me?
- 2:27Speaker 3: Look at me when I talk to you. You've taken
- 2:30Speaker 3: away an uncle to my children, the godfather to my children.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Please look at me. So he looked up, they said,
- 2:35Speaker 3: about fifteen seconds, and then he looked back down and
- 2:37Speaker 3: never looked up again. The mom gets up there, and
- 2:40Speaker 3: she's very bitter, they said, and she just, you know,
- 2:42Speaker 3: she's got so much rage, they said. The father got
- 2:44Speaker 3: up there and behind him he had the court play
- 2:47Speaker 3: video of his son or both sons, them growing up
- 2:52Speaker 3: together and kind of like you see in a graduation
- 2:56Speaker 3: film video. And while that video is playing, he's talking
- 2:59Speaker 3: to Carmel, who will not look at him, and he's
- 3:02Speaker 3: getting more passionate as he goes because the disrespect. And
- 3:05Speaker 3: Carmelo's parents walked out. They didn't even want to listen
- 3:08Speaker 3: to the impact statements, and so they said he got
- 3:11Speaker 3: anger at one point and slammed his fist and said,
- 3:14Speaker 3: I A part of me is dead. I'll never be
- 3:17Speaker 3: who I was. You killed us, like you literally, you
- 3:20Speaker 3: didn't just kill one person. And the mom said you know,
- 3:24Speaker 3: thirty five years, that's nothing. She has to go the
- 3:28Speaker 3: rest of her life within our child, right, and all
- 3:31Speaker 3: of this because this child decided to provoke this other
- 3:37Speaker 3: I don't know, a tent full of track meet people, right,
- 3:40Speaker 3: and he just said, from what all of the sources
- 3:43Speaker 3: said that were there, he just gently like pushed him
- 3:46Speaker 3: out and that's when he went in and just stabbed him.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Well, and this appearlence to not be about race because
- 3:52Speaker 1: when you looked at the the students that were there
- 3:56Speaker 1: for the prosecution, the teammates of Austin Metcalf, there were
- 4:00Speaker 1: several black students who were on the track team with
- 4:03Speaker 1: Austin Metcalf. And by the way, if you've ever been
- 4:07Speaker 1: to a track meet in Texas, essentially every school's got
- 4:10Speaker 1: black players, black members of the So if you're on
- 4:13Speaker 1: that team, you're you're gonna have a mixed team for
- 4:16Speaker 1: most schools there. So this wasn't a surprise to me
- 4:19Speaker 1: that Austin Metcalf had players on the track team who
- 4:22Speaker 1: felt like he was their brother exactly, that this wasn't
- 4:26Speaker 1: about race, because it wasn't that Austin Metcalf was somehow
- 4:30Speaker 1: a racist that hated all black people that had nothing
- 4:33Speaker 1: to do with it.
- 4:33Speaker 2: The guy that you're talking about, the rage beata that
- 4:36Speaker 2: the one representing the family was saying, how come you
- 4:38Speaker 2: don't bring up the fact he was a four point
- 4:40Speaker 2: zero student. He was a good kid, he was and
- 4:43Speaker 2: he may have been all those things, but he was
- 4:46Speaker 2: raised to hate a race. This is where this is
- 4:49Speaker 2: coming from. He was raised like I'm seeing so many
- 4:52Speaker 2: other young black men hating, like the man that killed
- 4:56Speaker 2: the girl on the train arena. Well, they found out
- 4:59Speaker 2: that two of his siblings have done the same thing
- 5:02Speaker 2: because of their hate to white people. These kids are
- 5:05Speaker 2: growing up to hate and this is the result of that.
- 5:08Speaker 2: This is what you get when you raise people to hate.
- 5:11Speaker 1: There was a juror, a potential juror, who was dismissed
- 5:15Speaker 1: because he said, I don't think I can put a
- 5:18Speaker 1: brother in jail. Yeah, And they said, even if the
- 5:21Speaker 1: facts prove that he's guilty. He says, yeah, I can't
- 5:23Speaker 1: put a black person in jail. Why Why should why
- 5:26Speaker 1: should the color of your skin come into play with
- 5:30Speaker 1: whether somebody should go to jail or not. Why is
- 5:32Speaker 1: this about race? Still?
- 5:33Speaker 3: Well, you had an attorney out there in her car
- 5:36Speaker 3: given her two cents, and she's literally was calling the
- 5:39Speaker 3: Metcalf family the racist ones wore racist pigs, is what
- 5:42Speaker 3: she said. It's so twisted, but I'm glad he was
- 5:46Speaker 3: found guilty, thank god.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Bottom line, don't stab people's that's what you tell your kids.
