It's in the TMZ link on page 1, reread it.

Let me tell you a little story: When I worked out in the Glades, a good handful of my co-workers were openly racist. Did not deny it one iota.

One of them was complaining about a tourist who was black, because apparently, during some conversation, the tourist brought up something about black people in the Everglades - I wasn't there for the conversation so don't know exactly what was said, but it sure ticked off one of the openly racist co-workers who stated that "black people always turn every conversation into something about them being black".

He carried on for some time, ranting about it, letting us know yet again how much he does not like black people to the point that he will not watch any show with a black person in it, no movie, no tv show, stand up comedy, music, nothing because, as he said, "they always make it about them being black".

That person is very openly racist, and THAT is what a racist would do - avoid anything with a black person in it (entertainment wise). If someone is so racist that they would go out and beat someone up, yell at him that it's "MAGA country" (no one says this), put a "noose" around his neck and pour bleach (allegedly) on him, they are not going to sit there and watch that show. They are not going to listen to any R&B.

You bring up some "best FB friend " as some sort of example when your "best FB friend" doesn't, as you said "believe" he's a racist. Someone who would beat someone else up simply because they are black is not someone who doesn't "believe they are racist".

I didn't even read the rest of your post because you weren't even honest about what I said.

Looks like another racist makes up a story about being beat up by White people. Absolutely no proof that any of it happened. I'm guessing the MSM will drop it like a hot potato now.

But it's clear this guy hates Trump.

Hollywood Actor Who Alleged Trump Supporters Beat his Ass, Bleached him and Put a Noose on his Neck is RABID Trump Hater

It's not like he is the president, nobody would notice or care if he suffered a little scratch under his eye.
The scratch could be easily explained away... the fractured rib couldn't.

There were no ninja racists, drug dealers or sex workers... this happened inside away from all cameras.

Yup. He indeed hates Trump. Where's the proof of the attack?

There is no confirmation of a fractured rib.

Well it's unclear if the fractured rib is true. It appears to be based on TMZ reports which isn't exactly the gold standard for journalism.

Plus even if there were a fractured rib..I suspect they would have gone with he fell down the stairs or something like this:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.tmz...girls-surgery/

Now I obviously have a little skeptical about the nature of the incident. But I'm waiting for the facts to come out.

That's convicted felon Congressman Bobby Rush.

I'm surprised Father Pfleger isn't all over this. Too cold to protest, I guess.

We'll see. But remember, Jussie has already amended his story to match what "sources directly connected to Jussie" told TMZ.
