I have no idea who Jussie Smollett is or what Empire is - should I care?

Who is this Jussie guy? I'd never heard of him before and now he on top of my Yahoo news feed everyday for faking a hate crime attack with a couple of Nigerian brothers, one of whom looks like Chris Partlow from The Wire.

Don't worry about it, especially if you don't care about the epidemic of fake "hate" crimes used to justify discriminating against white people who don't grovel at the altar of political correctness.

I try to imagine the national reaction if a conservative had paid two white Polish men to wear Obama shirts while beating him in order to discredit an entire side of the political spectrum.

No, just keep your head in the sand, if it suits you.

Of course you shouldn’t care. It’s not like there there is any opportunity to exploit crimes such as these for political gain. It doesn’t sow division or mistrust amongst people either.. Black preachers burning down black churches is so 1990’s. The hip thing to do now is to fake a hate crime because you’re gay, black and democrat. It’s just how you show your resistance to the orange racist in the White House.

I had never heard of him before this nonsense either.

I just watched a clip of his interview on Good Morning America. He said he believed he was a target of Trump supporters bc he (and I’m quoting him): “I go hard at 45.”

This cracks me up. I would love to have seen a poll of Trump supporters who ever heard of this guy before he unilaterally defamed all of them. The audacity of this loser assuming any of us GAF about him, or are so threatened by his political opinions on Twitter that we would dress up in our MAGA hats in sub zero temperatures to take him down.

This dipshit ruined his own life. I hope he rots in jail and emerges bankrupt and even more irrelevant than he was before.

It started a conversation. It’s not about the truth, but the intent of the allegations.

He is as dumb as a box of rocks. The guys on the right sang like a canary and we should see Smollett charged with a crime soon.

My opinion? You're damn right you should care. Not about this race-baiting little bitch, or about his stupid show which I will never see, either. The reason you should care is because this is all part of an AGENDA to unfairly portray Trump and his supporters as racist, hateful, and violent. Look at what's happened in less than 2 months this year; 1) The false flag regarding the Covington High School kids, which backfired, and 2) This stupid hoax,which has also backfired.

You're damn right you should care.

At the very minimum it should concern you that the media blew this thing wide open before law enforcement even started their investigation.

I got called a liar in another thread for saying the same thing. Never heard of him until last night. I couldn’t name one tv show or movie he’s been in.

Yeah, he goes so hard at 45, I’d estimate 95% of Trump supporters had no idea who this pipsqueak even was before this incident.

To say he has an inflated sense of self-worth is grossly understating the case.

He is also attached to Kamala Harris (they know each other well and he went to rallys with her).There will be an even deeper level to this if people truly want to investigate it further.

Just some guy that gets off when other guys beat him up.

He's a B-list celebrity though, so he pays a hefty amount of money to get beat up.

I guess everyone has their unique sexual preferences. I look down on his preference.
