I’d like to hear what anyone thinks about this important event.

The teachable moment is that the fake news hoax leftist Democrat media propaganda machine is very real.

I knew that, you knew that, but lots of people are blissfully unaware.

You’ll never get the lefties to learn anything at a “teachable moment”. They think it’s their job to teach you what to think.

Blacks were promised something from 1954-1965 that they have not received. The people who did the promising never considered the possibility that what they had promised could never be delivered.

The material circumstances in their communities, in their families, etc. deteriorate relentlessly.

This is why there is a panic-driven search for “racists”, as if the least-racist generation of whites ever in the history of the world are somehow manipulating events to harm black people.

It’s odd that, when public and legal racism was permitted and even applauded, the material conditions in black communities were much better than they are now.

Smollett did it because he didn’t get enough attention. Now he has lots of attention.

Teachable moment: be careful what you wish for.

Well said FRiend! I agree with you.

Sadly, we are most likely in the minority.

But your post is worth sharing in the hope that it will bring about a rational debate and discussion.

I’d like to know why, this time, the truth has been acknowledged.

Why this time?

Not bashing you at all..but PLEASE don't use "teachable moment". Obama and the left use that all the time. It's stomach churning. Sorry! 😲

So it appears that Danny Strong has not responded to the latest news until he hears all the facts.

There is little or nothing new or unique about this item. It’s certainly a teachable moment, though not a unique teachable moment. It’s like saying “it’s very unwise to try to scoot around the gates at a railroad crossing”. That is an absolutely valuable “teachable” lesson but there’s utterly nothing new about it and it doesn’t tarnish the value of the “lesson” even if it you’ve seen the potential results 20 times.

I take a different lesson from the event. The lesson I take is, and my “take” is not better nor more or less unique than yours: There’s really no reasoning with these leftists. There is no node nor state of “reasonableness” or “logic” they have any internal tendency to move to. They are self-propelled into an emotional state of wanting to dance on Trump’s grave with every feeling they have or might be capable of. They are outrage junkies; they are addicted to confirming their own animus and derangement and nothing else seems to matter to them. It’s all they can do and it’s all they want to do.

The only thing that matters is, they must be defeated. That’s all there is to it.

That being a stupid liar who tries to skate on race baiting gets you 3 to five years.

I think that is a very teachable lesson.

What is the link to Kamala Harris.

Remember Jussie’s mother is from the Harris clan.

The lesson was learned long ago. This is an example of anti white bigotry.
What do you think your black friends, acquaintances, co-workers, relatives say about you behind your back?

Maybe a teachable moment for some. I find it hard
to learn something I already know, though.

What I do find is that it was massively entertaining
and I’m gonna miss it.

Personally, I’m so sick and tired of hearing about this creep!

It’s the number 1 news story everywhere. WHY?

The 88 professors that signed the letter condemning the Duke lacrosse team all got promoted and are still working @ Duke. There are no consequences for the left.

Nothing will happen to Smollett. In fact he’ll be rewarded for standing up to Trump and his supporters. He’ll even blame them for his lying and actions.

This will be a teachable moment for you. In a couple of months or a year come back and read this reply.

A most unfortunate happening. The upside is that once again that much of the so called press proved the worst of what has been said about them. Most unprofessional and biased. I would take a chance and put myself in Smollett's shoes.

Imagine having a chance with a new show. All the dreams of some sort of fame and income. Then he becomes an unemployed actor. Rejection in my own experience is one of the cruelest things that can happen.

Ok I just had to work this in. Me being an amateur genealogist and book reader. Smollett. A rare name. Scottish in origin. Famed author Tobias Smollett 1721-1771. A surgeon and satirist. Born in Scotland. wrote this book.

The Expedition of Humphry Clinker. 1771.

Your post comes across as condescending liberal mumbo jumbo double speak. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. You sir carry a lot of shame. Perhaps you’re a new reader who’s taken up an interest in race relations, or perhaps you just haven’t been following the news on items ‘just like this’

I see no teachable moment here. Just more lying and breaking of the social contract.
