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.

Plenty of people make a living prominently displaying the race card, especially in gubmint jobs. The pretend VP is one of them.

Dark skinned people play the race card because it works. It gets them what they want or demand and makes white people cower to them.

Stop cowering to these threats, folks.

Juicy Smollet

I think Dave Chappelle’s take on this is spot on.

He was used by the democrats to start a race war. He is pictured with several. He is or will be paid a lot of money to keep quiet or he will be killed.

The Federal government should now have a trial on the Hate Crime he perpetuated. Hold him in Federal prison for say 18 months, in solitary confinement, and when found guilty give him 10 years.
