Jussie Smollett’s biggest problem was not lying about being attacked by Trump supporting homophobic racists, but it was lying while being black and gay.
Smollett had opposers and supporters fighting to find the truth about whether he had been attacked or not. Nevertheless, Smollett was indicted for disorderly conduct after allegedly staging a hate crime and filing a false report.
Chicago Chief of Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said in a press conference, “This announcement today recognized ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career.”
While Smollett was disappointed in making $65,000 an episode—a rich person problem—we can’t ignore the fact that he could possibly face time in prison for a lie. Unfortunately, the money he does have might not save him because of his race and sexuality.
I do not agree with Smollett because he used his platform to lie instead of using his platform to help people who actually go through this stuff everyday. He lost a part of being an ally in his own communities.
I still don’t believe he should go to prison.
In this day and age, race is brought up a lot. It is important to recognize that if Smollett were a white, straight man or woman, I promise he wouldn’t be in the situation he’s in now.
Emmett Till’s murderers were let go when Carolyn Bryant lied and said Till grabbed her and was sexaully crude to her, which she has since confessed was not true.
The president of the United State lies everyday about major issues that eventually lead to his administration caging children.

As soon as someone criticizes this president for ‘caging children’, I know they are choosing not to see the actual situation. They accept the spoonfeedings of BS from the media without question. They either don’t know or don’t care that Obama imprisoned and in his case, literally caged many, many more children than what Trump has done.
Maybe it’s satire?
“It is important to recognize that if Smollett were a white, straight man or woman, I promise he wouldn’t be in the situation he’s in now.”
Susan Smith drowned her babies, blamed a black man and now is in prison.
It was for his intention to finger innocent people for a nonexistent crime.
It is important to recognize that if Smollett were a white, straight man or woman, I promise he wouldn’t be in the situation he’s in now.
If a white straight man or woman tried to pin a fake race crime against a black gay person?? Seriously? In today's world? You are dreaming.
I still don’t believe he should go to prison.
Unless it was your own son who had been the phantom MAGA hat wearing man up against fake charges. Or Brett Kavanaugh.
I think the fact that she murdered two children is the main reason she's doing time.
if Smollett were a white, straight man or woman, I promise he wouldn’t be in the situation he’s in now.
this vile little bastard was stoking the flames of racial tension. people could have been hurt or killed in revenge incidents. if BHO was still president, BLM would have rioted.
he belongs in prison.
Emmett till was murdered 63 years ago because he was black.
Hundreds of white people are murdered every year by black people, in the United States. They are ignored by the media. Many of those killings are because of racism against white people, stoked by narratives from the media.
I was told that there was a bill introduced in the Illinois congress to make Chicago the 51st state.

A nobody lamenting about another nobody.
Proof that liberalism is insanity.
[ I still don’t believe he should go to prison. ]
That’s because you (the author) are a total liberal idiot.
Jussie Smollett should get 3-7-10 years in prison.
Including time for his fake U.S.-mail terrorism.
Now, go put on your Obama jammies and pretend ObamaScare is a good thing.
More proof why The Onion could not make it in todays world.
If you have to go back 70 years ago (Emmett Till) to finds a race murder you’ve lost your argument.
A prime example of what journalism schools are producing out every day.
One of the most mindless, warped, misguided, twisted, empty-headed and just plain silly articles I believe I’ve ever read. A 6th grader with at least a semblance of insight on the subject would be a vast improvement.
