the 36-year-old Smollett has been working in the entertainment industry virtually unimpeded since childhood, during which he starred in such hit children's movies like "The Mighty Ducks" and "North." In adulthood, he has starred in Academy Award-nominated movies like "Marshall" and summer blockbusters like "Alien: Covenant." On "Empire," the actor allegedly amassed for himself a salary of $65k per episode (possibly more) — which he apparently felt dissatisfied with to the point of staging a hoax "hate crime" for publicity purposes. How this compares to Jackie Robinson, an American hero, is unclear at best.


Jackie Robinson was in ALL of those movies and TV shows as well. He just didn't suck any dicks after filming wrapped.

First of all, Jackie Robinson is an actual American hero who overcame legit racist attempts to stop him and other black ball players from playing in majors. I don’t care about Jussie being gay or even black, the idea Van Jones would minimize Robinson to lift up this fake pos is a disgrace. These leftest have lost the fricking plot. To even compare the 2 is such a disqualification of credibility that Jones should never be on a tv screen again.

Neither do I. I was illustrating absurdity by being absurd.

The left’s obsession with celebrities is so strange. The guy is a fricking actor. I’m not hating on the profession but it’s not like he is out there breaking down political and social barriers to make people’s lives better.

How in the heck are homosexuals discriminated against in our present age? If anything, they are celebrated.




Simple fact. In the 80s, if your boss found out you were gay, you were fired. Exception San Fran area.

Today, if they find out you are gay, you are hired for diversity.

I really do get sick of when people who KNOW better spout off that things are worse today than ever.

Really. Almost every fricking urban city in America is run by a black mayor and city council. Black President. Black Governors. Black Congressmen and Congresswomen.

Sure no difference. Things are worse than ever.

I fail to see a single similarity between the two other than being black

Remember, kiddos: This is the same Van Jones who self-identified as a Communist.

For those of you who don't know History (BMY pay attention, please): The Communists are much, much more evil and murderous than the Nazis ever DREAMED of being.
