Fox Entertainment chief Charlie Collier says Jussie Smollett won't be back on "Empire."

...Prosecutors dropped the charges against Smollett in March, but a special prosecutor could charge him again .

Asked why Fox had extended Smollett's contract through the sixth and last season despite his legal peril, Collier said the network wanted to properly assess the situation before making a decision about Smollett's future with "Empire."

Well, that whole racial hoax thing certainly turned out well for him didn’t it?

Great resume enhancer.

Assess the situation. Why, how nice of them to do that whereas they jump to conclusions on other stuff.

Poor Joosy!

This is really unfair, Joosy’s a hero.
He got attacked by some African Trump supporters and was
brave and strong enough to beat them off one handed.

Because he had his sandwich in the other hand.
So he had to beat them off one handed.

“Isn’t that racist?”

...and homophobic, and discriminatory against the felony-challenged.

Actually, Smollett quit when they told him he couldn’t wear his noose.

What do you bet they bump off his character by having him brutally beaten and killed by two white guys in MAGA hats telling him this is “Trump Country”?

Isn’t that racist? (about not missing Jussie)

Only if you want him to be replaced by a white or hispanic guy. His spot is reserved for a blackish guy who is light in the loafers. It's intersectional.

It is something to ponder that if it wasn’t’t for hate hoaxes, there would be hardly any hate “crime” at all. OTOH, if the preponderance of violent crime committed by blacks upon whites and other non-blacks was categorized as hate crime in the same way as vice verse is, the public would be aware that there is an epidemic of hate crime committed by blacks upon whites and other non-blacks.

Almost all-as in almost 100%- of interracial rapes are black upon white/other. There are statistically NO rapes committed by other races upon blacks. Which makes me question, to say the least, the narrative of all those slave owners raping blacks slaves.

I'd read this back in June. I wonder why they decided to rev it up again. To incite more racial problems?

And I’d be interested to hear the left’s convoluted argument, because they surely have one, that economic “oppression” is the reason for the poor black men being driven to rape all those non-black women.
