Black women are outraged over leaked text messages from Karmelo Anthony’s cell phone that shows he hated his own race of women.
A Texas prosecutor allegedly leaked text messages from Anthony’s devices that read: “I f***ing despise black b***hes”, “Them f***ing n***as need to die”, and “All the wig glue gettin to their brains.”
Oddly, the “wig glue” comment sent Black women over the edge – not the fact that he killed someone.
?Karmelo Anthony's released texts showed that he hated Black women–his biggest supporters. They rode for him because Black women have Black sons and brothers.
Going forward. He's on his own.

Dozens of women took to TikTok to denounce their support of Anthony. Many claimed they never donated money to his defense account.
One X.com user wrote: “The whole situation is unfortunate, but people were talking about him like he was trayvon martin, or tamir rice like huh.”
Another person tweeted: “No shade why did it take this new info for yall to finally stop painting him as this hero who was doing ‘self defense’?”
A third person commented: “Black women need to stop defending black male criminals simply bc they are black.”
Black men also weighed in on the controvery. Some of them recorded “I told you so” videos while laughing at women who supported Anthony.
