if Smollett were a white, straight man or woman, I promise he wouldnt be in the situation hes in now.
If Smollett were white and hired two white men to attack him and reported an attack by two black men every “journalist” in the entire USA would be calling for him to be jailed for life or worse and he would be given the maximum penalty possible under the law as well as for any other imaginary laws that could be fantasized. We all know this is true and it is time to start calling a spade a spade.
