CHICAGO Ever since he was a child actor growing up in a show-business family, Jussie Smolletts life blended activism with the make-believe worlds of television and movies. ..."
He spoke of his mothers closeness with the Black Panthers and prominent civil-rights leaders, and how she had encouraged Mr. Smollett and his brothers and sisters to create art and live out their beliefs. ..."
For Mr. Smollett, arts and activism were intertwined throughout his childhood.
His parents met while campaigning for civil rights in the Bay Area of California, and his mother had worked with the founders of the Black Panthers and prominent civil-rights leaders, according to a New York Times interview with Mr. Smollett in 2016.
Between child-acting gigs and press junkets that the six siblings did for their 1994 ABC sitcom, their mother, Janet Smollett, made sure the children played sports and read about figures like Malcolm X and Langston Hughes, she told The Los Angeles Times in 1994. (His family did not respond to phone or email messages.)
I know their mother, Janet, has always taught them to stand up for themselves, and for what they believe, Mr. Harris said.

He lost his job.
It would be right to say that what he did won't be held against him as much as it would be if his actions had been perceived as "right-wing" - he won't be a total pariah - but no way he comes out looking better from this for most people, even most Trump-hating liberals.
Blacks, who live where innocents are getting shot and/or murdered and who NEVER get this kind of treatment from the police, don't appreciate that 24, TWENTY-FOUR, detectives were put on this case which turned out to be nothing but one huge HOAX, while cases involving crimes against them and theirs languish.
And most blacks, in Chicago, are virulent homophobes.
How does that make him any different from nearly every other Leftist in this country?
People who's core function is "hate whitey" never do. Look at Mad Maxine and Pelosi.
He's Dead, Stokely. You scumbag.
Absolutely.
btw BBC’s Mike Wooldridge also interviews ex-BLM , Kwame Rose.
Wikipedia: Kwame Rose
On April 29, 2015, Rose confronted Fox News reporter Geraldo Rivera during the protests for Freddie Gray, asking him to leave Baltimore due to what Rose called one-sided coverage of the protests and the city while ignoring Baltimore’s poverty and social issues, how these issues affect citizens’ lives, or the community’s efforts to unite and clean up the city...

Thank you .... and very well said as usual by you, good lady.
I just write about what I know...facts. :-)
This incident will only increase his bonafides with the Left.
I may be wrong. This may make him a pariah but I doubt it. He may do some jail time but I doubt very much, if any.
The Left is already making excuses for him and taking him under their wing. "Poor boy was off his meds, or was on drugs or was delirious with hate for Trump", whatever.
We'll see. I'm becoming more of a cynic the older I get.
This country would have been much better off had Angela Davis, the Smolletts, Bobby Seale, Bill Ayres, Bernadine Dohrn, et al been locked up for life. They committed treason and were rewarded with university/political jobs to keep the cancer of Communism active in the body politic.
ROFL
“”The only way to have more boxes checked would be if he was a muslim and/or a woman.””
Hey - it’s not too late for that in today’s world!!
I’m cynical myself, but these stories just further erode the little patience remaining in non-black populations. As whites fade from the scene, the replacements have no patience - and certainly no guilt - in dealing with blacks. The Koreans targeted by blacks in the LA riots, Michael Brown (Ferguson MO) pushing an Indian clerk around as he stole from him, these incidents warn the newcomers of the problems - and they know they themselves certainly aren’t to blame. If anything, they watch seats earned by their children in colleges get handed to non-learning tokens, and then the same occurs in their workplaces; they are done, and these hoaxes just push the last whites into that same acceptance that coexistence is a myth.
The color which are at war with is RED.
I think that’s Jussie’s friend side show Bob
Many white communists are using blacks to advance THEIR (Communist) agenda. Scumbags like Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn, Obama supporter, Michael Klonksky, Sunsara Taylor, etc, etc.
Yes, they tend to be a population easily led - though to their credit, they denied Hillary PA, WI, and MI!
Which has nothing to do with gutless white folks I referenced.
