Jussie Smollett believes there's one overarching reason he was sent to jail, and it's not because of the hoax ... he says it's because he's Black.
Sources with direct knowledge and in constant touch with the "Empire" actor tell TMZ ... Jussie fully expected to get jail time. He told his defense team before sentencing he felt he would be treated more harshly than other defendants convicted of a non-violent crime ... all because of the color of his skin. He thinks it's more evidence of systemic racism in the judicial system.
Jussie told his team after sentencing he was dead-on when he predicted the outcome ... based on the animosity the judge showed toward him. He called it "unfortunate" and "sad."
As you know, the judge read Jussie the riot act, saying the hoax was rooted in a desire for more fame and more attention.
We reached out to the court for comment, and a rep for the Cook County Chief Judge's Office tells TMZ ... "Judges can't comment on pending cases, and it's still pending."

Move over Al Sharpton Juicy Smollet is coming thru........
Sp was the guy he attacked.😆😆😆
Is he that faggot from Empire?
None of the days in the psych war should count on your days in jail. Just my opinion...
Jussie, you got jail time because you committed a crime, and you’re stupid, and you’re a liar, and, and, and......
You got jail time, because you’re a felon.
You got a lighter sentence than I would have gotten, because you’re black.
He clearly has “the chip”.
That’s actually true.
He did get jail time because he’s black, because the black culture he grew up in taught him how to lie and cheat as a means to an end.
Left with nothing but fear after blowing the Harris/Booker arranged hoax in support of their anti-lynching legislation and in so doing making himself a political liability to the VP of the United States, he pulls the race card om dramatic style to show he’s still on team black and won’t talk ever.
So is he saying all blacks are liars like him?
The law should be he suffers the same fate as a white perp would suffer.
He did the ‘crime’ to raise racial hostility. He should do the 3-5 year sentence.
He got off lightly.
They also should put him in general population - as they would a white perp.
Yep.
Move over Al Sharpton Juicy Smollet...
Plus he insists it was the right thing to do.
Jussie, you got jail time because you committed a crime, and you’re stupid, and you’re a liar, and, and, and......
is probably staring at a political future in the Democrat party.
Oh, here we go again...I'm a victim because I'm black. No, you twit. You got jail time because you created an incident you wanted to look like it was racially based. People like you are the same fools who say that a prison population of 48% blacks when only 13% of the population is black means the judicial system is racist. No, it says that, on average, blacks commit 3x as many crimes as whites. You, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al, have worn out the race card. Time to accept some responsibility for your actions rather than trying to push the blame onto white people.
Yes. He’s taken no responsibility and made no admission of guilt or culpability despite the overwhelming proof he broke the law.
That should be a factor in upping his sentence.
Tell that to the JANUARY 6 political prisoners.
JUSSIE SMOLLETT: I got jail time because I’m Black.
