Source: Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office / Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office On Dec. 27, 2025, a 19-year-old white man in Charlotte, N.C., killed two Black women and seriously injured a child while driving more than double the speed limit in his BMW coupe, resulting in a high-speed crash. He was convicted on two criminal charges, for which he will spend six months in jail. Yes, you read that correctly: six months is all the lives of two Black women were worth. We don’t have to compare Anthony to George Zimmerman, or highlight cases like that of Jordan Neely‘s killer, Daniel Penny. We can look at the government data that shows Black males receive sentences 13.4% longer than those of white males found guilty of the same crimes.
