The past three days have been deeply trying for Empire actor, Jussie Smollett, to say the least.
After being brutally attacked by racists early Tuesday (January 29, 2019) morning, an ongoing investigation has resulted in several discoveries, but still no suspects apprehended.
Now, Jussie’s five siblings and Moms have decided to address the violent attack, as well as what they plan on doing about it going forward.
FYI: Their Mom was an activist and a member of The Black Panther Party back in the day.
So neither she, nor her kids, will simply take this violent racist/homophobic attack against her baby lying down.

"Jussie and Jurnee still count their mother, Janet Smollett, as their only acting coach. An African-American from New Orleans, Ms. Smollett met their father, Joel Smollett Sr., a Russian-Polish Jew, in the Bay Area, where they campaigned for civil rights.
“My mom was in the movement with Bobby Seale and Huey Newton, and one of her first mentors was Julian Bond,” Mr. Smollett said of the Black Panther founders and the civil rights leader.
“To this day, Angela Davis is one of her dearest friends. We’ve spent Mother’s Day with Angela.”..."

Angela Yvonne Davis is a tenured professor in the “History of Consciousness” program at the University of California - Santa Cruz.
A former member of the Black Panther Party, she is currently a “University Professor,” one of only seven in the entire California University system, which entitles her to a six-figure salary and a research assistant.
This income is supplemented by speaking fees ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 per appearance on college campuses, where she is an icon of radical faculty, administrators, and students.
Davis has also taught at UCLA and the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

"In 1970 Davis was implicated by more than 20 witnesses in a plot to free her imprisoned lover, fellow Black Panther George Jackson, by hijacking a Marin County, California courtroom and taking hostage the judge, the prosecuting assistant district attorney, and two jurors.
In an ensuing gun battle outside the court building, Judge Harold Haley’s head was blown off by a sawed-off shotgun owned by Ms. Davis.
To avoid arrest for her alleged complicity in the plot, Ms. Davis fled California, using aliases and changing her appearance to avoid detection.
Two months later, Davis was arrested by the FBI in New York City."

Below are the names and photos of 35 Police Officers who were murdered by the Black Panthers and the subsequent Black Liberation Army in the 60s, 70s and 80s [click link for list and details].
The Black Liberation Army was an organization that grew out of the Black Panther Party, composed of former Black Panther Party members, operating from about 1971-1980. Another two police officers on the list were murdered by the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group with ties to the Black Liberation Army.
Despite this readily available information, today the internet was full of articles criticizing those who were upset by Beyonce’s Super Bowl Halftime performance, and questioning how anyone could be upset over a woman “affirming her blackness.” Their analysis couldn’t have been more off.
We have no issues with someone “affirming their blackness” or any other identity they want to affirm. We do take issue when people pay homage to a group that used terrorism and violence to promote racism and revolutionary socialism – a group that murdered dozens of police officers in cold blood.
As you scroll through the list of officers below, look at their photos and read their stories. Among these officers are black men and white men. Rookies and veterans from across the country. Most were killed in unprovoked attacks and ambushes. They all left behind families….
Perhaps Beyonce, someone from the NFL, and someone representing CBS, could read through this list and tell us if they still stand by their decision to honor the Black Panthers during the Super Bowl. Then perhaps they could explain their answers to the surviving wives and children of these fallen officers. ...”

This human freak, This low life America, American hater, Jussie Smollett has been suspended by Fox from the “Empire” TV show. I guess we will soon witness his washing & cleaning windshields on the New York Bowery for 25 cents a window. Great job for this twisted mind dreg of decent society. Actually his buddies and adorer fans like Harris, Booker, Gillibrand, Sanders, O’Rourke should withdraw from the POTUS race, for these losers are going nowhere. Case closed!!!

Thanks for the information - still not much.
Wonder what he thinks of all of this?
AW,com’on she is just hobnobbing with ‘The Educational ELITE’ Of Californicatia......
The FBI had her! They screwed up the case so bad she walked.
Who’s the dope who added “already posted” to the keywords? I posted this compilation which I put together myself yesterday evening. I posted it again today for the morning crowd to see. I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else that this jerk’s mother is an ex Black Panther who remains tight with the infamous Angela Davis.
"In 1972, after a 16-month incarceration, the state allowed her release on bail from county jail.[27]
On February 23, 1972, Rodger McAfee, a dairy farmer from Fresno, California, paid her $100,000 bail with the help of Steve Sparacino, a wealthy business owner.
The United Presbyterian Church paid some of her legal defense expenses.[27][38]"
Such nice people...
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
He was almost certainly involved with the communist movement too. He died of cancer in 2015.

Maybe Smollett's crime was more than a pathetic bid for more money - more privilege...
from link:
The Smolletts have also been outspoken politically and, since their school years, devoted to causes like H.I.V./AIDS prevention and ending apartheid. They were raised in the orbit of the Black Panthers and, lately, have lent their voices to the Black Lives Matter movement. Their trajectory, from child stars to successful adults, is born of their family and its history of activism.
“Their sense of justice is very strong, and it permeates everything that they do,” said Alfre Woodard, who has known Jussie and Jurnee since they were children; they worked with her at the nonprofit Artists for a New South Africa. “They’re like a model sibling unit. They look out for each other, all the time. And they all reach across and say, ‘O.K., I got my foot in this door; here, grab my hand, we’re going in together.’”
