No black people are supporting this man. Black people are just as outraged by the hoax as anybody else.

If nothing happens to Smollett, then justice is dead and social justice is a sham. There is no more talking left to do.
Some black folks love to play victim, I agree. Whose fault is that? Liberals who constantly feed them the narrative that they're being victimized.

Jussie knows people in power and got out off. There should be a price to pay for all of this, but I'm not confident there will be. In the most egregious case of a cop murdering someone that I've ever seen, one guy lost his job despite the fact that several cops all the way up to the mayor covered it up. Everyone in office here is dirty beyond belief.

I hear nothing but condemnation from people of all races - but there are two elements to this. Black folks are more protective than white people are. They're hesitant to bash other black folks - and I get that. Why give some white racists more fuel? So I don't think they would publicly display their displeasure in a big setting. Some might not applaud, some might politely applaud, but I don't know that we'd hear much boo'ing. A few muted boo's perhaps, but that's probably about it.

And don't discount that some black folks are racist and they love that he's getting away with this. If races were reversed, there would be some racist white folks feeling the same way. Let's be realistic about this, is all I'm saying.

My guess is his people have contacted those in charge of the awards to say he doesn't want to be a distraction so if the odds aren't good that he'll win, he'd like to know and he'll stay home. So unless he's winning, I just don't think he'll attend.

The award show is on tonight. It will be interesting to see what happens.

They know it was a hoax, they are just happy he beat the system. Another victory for the black man against the establishment..

So the thousands of social media profiles expressing love and support for him were created by Russians?

You're seeing different reports than I am, the blacks I see commenting are overjoyed he lied, cheated, and got away with it....

In recent years, members of the jury said they believed OJ Simpson was guilty but voted not guilty as payback. I'm sure that mentality can be found among flawed individuals of all races.

LOL!! They either love the guy and just cannot wrap their head around the fact that he's scum - or - they're in the group who just wants to stick it to whitey / sees him getting off as payback.

Either way, they're dumb asses.

I can only get the link to post:

Kim Foxx Protest April 1st — Fraternal Order of Police | Chicago, Lodge 7

The Chicago Fraternal Order of Police is holding a protest against Kim Foxx Monday. Why they chose a Monday is beyond me.

April 1st

I believe it is real, just an unfortunate date.

I've already seen articles about it regarding Jussie. 'The Black Community says welcome to our world'.
