Sorry, bigots, but I'm not sorry for once trusting Jussie Smollett
Chicago Tribuen ^ | February 21, 2019 | Dahleen Glanton

Posted on 02/22/2019 6:06:25 AM PST by artichokegrower

It now appears that Jussie Smollett may have made up the story of his attack. If true, it is disgraceful and, in my opinion, inexcusable.

But let’s be clear. Just because one person lied about a racist and homophobic incident does not let all bigots off the hook. This is not a reprieve for anyone who has set a bomb off in a mosque or sprayed a synagogue with deadly gunfire.

We remember the two brothers in Boston who were sentenced for urinating on a homeless immigrant and beating him with a metal pole in 2015 while saying, “Donald Trump was right.”


Or the two Muslim immigrant brothers in Boston who bombed the Marathon killing 3 while shouting Allah Akbar.

Agreed! And any Muslim caught doing such things should be held accountable.

Maybe a BIGOT tried to frame any white person that was within a mile of the hoax incident that night in Chicago.

I don’t think she knows what “Bigot” means. :D

She should ask herself why she didn’t look at the evidence supporting his claim. I confess that I believed him at first. But that was because I was ignorant of ANY facts around the case other than his claim and the picture of his face.

The first hint of fraud was the sandwich. And, of course, once I imagined the story he told actually happening, well, the story itself doesn’t meet the smell test.

And, of course, here we are.

If this Glanston person wants to find a bigot, she needs look no further than above her bathroom sink.

Without clicking the link, I'll bet he knocked this dopey strawman over in the rest of the article.

Impressive, I'm sure. But that's not the point. The point is that media idiots like you do not vet stories that support your worldview or wait until the facts are confirmed before going off like psychos, attacking everybody you disagree with politically.

"We live in a country where bigotry is commonplace."

With the left responsible for 99.99999% of it.

I think if we want to keep score, scum who this author apparently thinks are fine and dandy would have a lopsided advantage in numbers killed, assaulted and raped.

The numbers/percentages between black on white violence, or muslim on non-muslim violence when compared to white on black violence or non-muslim on muslim violence are very lopsided.

Well, Chicago gave us Saul Alinsky, Barack Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel, so it is entirely possible there is a link between evil and stupidity, especially when it comes to the media.

Isn't that kind of like a racist saying he isn't sorry for a black man or woman wrongly being blamed for something they didn't do and believing the accuser solely based upon the color of their skin vs the color of the skin of the accused, Dahleen?
