Jussie plays the race card.... again: Disgraced Empire star says he was treated 'more harshly' and sentenced to 150 days in jail 'because he is black' and says he ranted about NOT being suicidal in case he gets 'Jeffrey Epstein'd'

Empire actor Jussie Smollett says he was handed a heftier jail sentence because he is black and that he made sure to mention he is not suicidal in court in order to avoid getting 'Jeffrey Epstein'd'

On Thursday Smollett - once a darling of the music and TV world for his success on the show Empire - was sentenced to 150 days in jail.

The star was convicted last year of five felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police repeatedly when he claimed he was the victim of a race hate attack in January and February 2019.

Judge James Linn granted Smollett 'day for day' eligibility which means if he behaves himself behind bars, he will likely be released within 75 days - just over two months.

Scroll Down For Video:

But despite his light sentence, TMZ reported that Smollett told his attorneys before his Thursday court appearance that he would get a harsher sentence than most people convicted of a non-violent offence because he is black, calling it proof of systemic racism in the court system.

After he was sentenced Smollett told his legal team his prediction was correct and said the 150 day sentence was 'unfortunate' and 'sad' and blamed it on judge Linn's animosity towards him, TMZ.com reported.

I’ll tell you why he could be Epsteined. I believe somebody put him up to it, someone really high up, as in someone who is a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

He’s going to claim innocence forever. All his elite backers will just go silent. None of them will say he’s guilty, and they won’t be pressed by the media about it. If they are asked they will weasel word around it. He will be completely accepted back on the social scene as soon as he’s out.

The way all the Democrats were literally tweeting right after it happened, it’s as if they knew it was coming.

His bizarre rant about not being suicidal seemed like he might want to off himself just to stir crap up- thinking he’s some kind of martyr who was ‘innocent’ of all charges- it woudl be a lame attempt to bring down the system-

The suicide thing is complete BS. He didn’t care about being convicted until he was told there would actually be a price to pay beyond the money, which is nothing to him, he’s rich.

He’s a big baby who got caught.

[[and they won’t be pressed by the media about it.]]

Just like they never pressed Bubba Wallace about continuing to accuse his fans of racism despite the FBI and everyone else declaring hte rope was a pull down loop and NOT a noose-

infact, the msm has bent over backerds supporting the liar- and making sure he is constantly in the headlines, making him into a legend despite his inabilities to drive well enough to be top driver- -

A Communist stating he's concerned that Communists will kill him?

Then again, he's probably the most unskilled, incompetent Communist in America. And we all know what happens to them, right, Comrade? Right?

The Inner Party is probably saying "Why can't you be like your Brother Kaepernick? He destroyed American football patriotism! Your narrative manipulation did not show attention to detail!"

This fake lynching occurred just as the democrats were trying to pass the anti-lynching bill.
I suspect high level coercion was involved.

“Epstein didn’t kill himself.”

That’s his point.

He knows the inner workings of the Brandon Cartel.

This “lynching” was a Brandon operation for Harris.

If he hadn’t been a black, gay actor he’d have gotten ten years.

White female Halmark actress Lori Loughlin spent two months in federal prison for scamming college admissions. I think Smollett can handle the same effective sentence if he can demonstrate good behavior.
