TV Show Empire's OTHER 2015 Racial Hoax (Glendale, CA.) FEE ADVERTISING Campaign..?
MyFecundMind ^ | January 30th, 2019 | me

Yesterday a gay black celebrity from the TV series "Empire" alleged that masked white men in MAGA hats beat him, put a hoose around his neck, and doused him with bleach.

We all conceal carry bleach, right..?

The show received considerable free publicity from the charged racial claims.

BUT:

Most people will NOT remember such claims are not new for Empire's cast.

In 2015 Empire star Taraji Henson was outraged that Glendale police "profiled" and harassed her son, charges that provoked a storm of public outrage against that police department.

But Glendale PD had video of the traffic stop in which her son was driving a Honda Civic through a lighted crosswalk then being actively crossed by pedestrians --the driver's race was not visible at the time the stop was initiated.

Her son was found to have marijuana, a marijuana grinder, hash oil, a knife and perscription medication for which he had no perscription.

The cops yanked him out of the car, threw him to the pavement and began pummeling the crying lad with nightsticks, right..?

Well, no, actually they LET HIM OFF the traffic charge and simply confiscated his illegal drugs and LET HIM GO:

THAT was the "profiling" that his outraged mother decried.

So apparently EMPIRE does this from time to time, maybe a part of a free advertising campaign.

The orignal connection between these two events was made by Colin Flaherty, author of "White Girl Bleed A Lot":

YouTube apparently silenced Colin Flaherty's YouTube Channel, so I'm including the link for his book here.

Remember that weird pattern when an Oprah Winfrey movie would be juuuust due to premier, and then as if by magic an oh-so-regrettable racial incident with a snobby saleswoman from a luxury brand retailer would befall her in Europe..?

EERY. Of course it would provoke a firestorm of free coverage.

It happened twice, maybe three different times.

I see the same thing, here.

Has this incident been proven a hoax yet?

GMA was bleating it all over this morning..............

The gay guy’s claims have not been PROVEN hoax, so the word “other” in my title is premature, I think.

I do think I know where it’s going, but you are correct.

Anyone recover the video from the street cams in the area? Oh, there aren’t any or they weren’t in operation due to the extreme cold? I checked the weather history for Monday/Tuesday. At 0200 it was -9 wind chill in chitcago. You mean to tell us that this guy was not bundled up and was recognizable by two MAGA type assailants to the extent that they knew who he was and his background? BS!

Apparently “Empire” is a dramatic seriers focusing on the political nature of the hip-hop music industry and it’s associated physical danger, problems with law enforcement, etc.

So there is TREMENDOUS synergy between the interests of Empire’s audience and racial claims made against police officers.

Could racial abuse of Empire’s cast actually HAPPEN..?

Yes.

Is there great potential for abuse, great financial opportunity, in speciously levvying such claims..?

Absolutely.

I saw some chyron on the news this AM that read that the police have video of Smollett before and after the supposed incident, most likely security video from businesses..............

Gee, was it pointed in the wrong direction to actually capture any details? Anyone remembering that this individual is an ACTOR? Still think his bf or a male escort kicked his ass. It it was kicked at all. Or self inflicted injuries.

Have you noticed that GMA is losing its diversity? Kind of like the NBA on some days. They never allow a non-black to interview a black either. I guess that means Stephanopolous is the coach. Yuck.

The scene from Dirty Harry where the serial killer pays a thug to beat him up so he can blame Harry, comes to mind...................

The only reason we watch GMA is because the CBS and NBC shows suck even more..............

The police need get videos on the media the minute the complaint comes up. Several days later doesn’t do any good. The complaint was made, and the media is onto other things. Then the police say we have video a few days later. It is of no pr value then.

The story will fade into obscurity over the next few days, but it will have done its job of pandering to the hate whitey blacks who watch the show. That preening faggot is a drama queen. He and his boyfriend are liars. What has been perpetrated, if anything, is slander and provocation of hate against white Trump supporters. I wouldn’t be surprised if there hadn’t been collusion. It won’t be corrected, even when proved because racism and media says orange man bad.
