"As one writer said earlier this week, the demand for racism and homophobia in this country greatly exceeds the supply."

Yep, nobody was faking hate crimes in Nazi Germany, and millions of "people of color" weren't trying to sneak in.

Good points. It seems, from Mr. Smollett’s twitter commentary and other public statements, that he was trying as hard as he could to get conservative or pro-Trump persons interested in hating him ... and it didn’t work. Regardless of any feelings anyone might have about black people, homosexuals, or just this particularly guy who happens to be both, nobody could be bothered.

If nobody but yourself is willing to “victimize” you, do you even exist?
