Here you go.

Jussie Smollet:Democrats::James O’Keefe:Republicans

Not even remotely the same other than they are both liars.

I have no idea how James O’Keefe has avoided jail for the stunts he has pulled.

Cory Booker 'withholding' judgment on Smollett case after calling it 'attempted modern-day lynching'

A Chicago police spokesperson on Saturday said "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett is no longer considered a victim in the case that allegedly involved an attack by two masked men who shouted racial and anti-gay slurs at the actor and, "This is MAGA country!"

No Honor, No Morals. Only the agenda.

Because he's done nothing illegal, with the exception of one misdemeanor.

I’ll wait to hear direct testimony or hear all the evidence from both accuser and accused before I make my judgement on this.

It’s not surprising tho, that the real issue is all but a lost cause here for people of color and other minorities. For one bad apple spoils the bunch, unless you are a white spoiled American that is.

Yep. That's the lesson to be learned in all of this.

"White spoiled American"-- what a stupid, stupid thing to say.

X-Actly.

No Honor, No Morals, No Ethics.

#Unhinged

I see you've finally decided to speak out against Trump.

j/c

I wonder when he's going to take a car and run over a bunch of conservatives, killing one of them?

If the Left came out and said, "We see Jussie is a liar but still stand against hate crimes in this Nation, there would be no problem. Coming out to blame everyone else for this instead of the guilty party is Unhinged, unethical, lacks morals or honor.

I have to admit, it feels good seeing an American scam Nigerian princes for once.

Not funny! I recognize one of those Nigerians and he is a Prince who owes me Lottery Winnings!

This one made me laugh.

But I agree with Karmala Harris, Its a Lynching!

Its a Lynching of the Right by the Left!
Its a Lynching of Whites by Blacks and Gays!
Its a Lynching of MAGA and Trump supporters by the Democrats!


It is a Political Hate Crime as the Left proves they are more Racist than what they would like the world to believe the rest of us are!

No Honor
No Morals
No Ethics
Only The Agenda!

U, sir, have lost da plot.

Looks like this a hoax....and the beat goes on, and the beat goes on

Is it White spoiled America or Trump's fault that Tawana Braley's son might be a liar and phoney?

I guess when fake news isn't enough then fake assault is the next logical step. Sad, so so sad!

j/c:

I'm waiting for the "EMPIRE" to strike back.

It's sad.

The world is filled with too many twerps.

Serious question here Spiral. Not trying to be a smartass. Why is it OK to call minorities people of color but if you call them color people you are a Racist Ahole?

I'll take a stab at it, even though another poster was asked.

It has primarily to do with the origins of both terms. "Colored People" was a term coined by Euro-Americans to describe those 'other americans' who descended from slavery. The terminology was their way of describing me and My Forebears to themselves/for themselves.

It's a feature of the days of American apartheid- and why you see those grainy, 40's/50's-era b&w photographs of public places in the South where the refrigerated, metal-housed drinking fountains are labeled with signs reading: "Whites Only"... while the raw city-feed porcelain fountains just 6 ft. away were labeled: "Colored."



"Person of Color" was a term coined (in the last 2 decades of the 20th c.) by people who fit that description in a Euro-dominated social culture. It was a label they adopted for themselves to depict any American/resident who was not European (ie: 'White'... and I'm no fan of that term, either. It's not accurate at all. I don't know anyone outside of Edgar Winter whose skin is the same color as typing paper...)

It's why Clemdawg sees that being called 'Black' is generally preferable to being called 'Colored.' I stopped being "That little colored boy" around 1965-66.

Before my generation, 'Negro' was the other designation slapped on us by the group in power. There was no equivalent for 'Negro' in the languages of any captured/enslaved African people, despite their nation/region of origin.

Both were preferable to "The N-Bomb," (which was/is still used freely by the lowest-class americans among us) but neither term allowed for our own sense of identity or humanity, until we stood up and insisted that those names no longer be used in correct, polite society.

And most of American Society came along, because it was the respectable/considerate thing to do for a fellow American citizen.

So... the language of race/ethnicity is in a constant state of evolution, which requires a commitment to staying current. I make that effort for the same reason I call one of my friends Dave and another David: they each have a preference, and it's polite and proper for me to acknowledge that preference. It takes a little bit of effort, but really, it's just a little bit. Extra. But then again, I was raised by educators, clergy, scientists, artists and social pioneers who raised me to aim higher, dig deeper, and expect/require a li'l bit more of myself in issues of Humanity

("I don't care what the neighbor kids are allowed to settle for- we expect more from you and our family....")


This s# is second nature for me, because I was trained for it since I was a toddler. It took me many decades to finally realize/accept/acknowledge that not every kid in America was raised like me.

Dawg Duty: if you are truly sincere in your desire to know the difference, I've done my best to give you an introduction to the mindset at work that's caused you to ask the question. I hope you chase down some follow-up for yourself. Your question is a scratch on the top of the tip of the iceberg that is race relations in America.

Start digging in, bro.
This is as deep and wide as an ocean.
Commit to something like this, and you will be a changed Human Being.

Ask a question only if you are ready to receive an answer.
Most times, the first answer you get will only lead to more questions.


Glad I visited this thread tonight. Because you asked a serious question. And you weren't trying to be a smartass.

I still try, every now and then.

Dropping pearls.

I don't think calling a person "colored" makes you a "racist ahole." However, I think that people should be sensitive to the feelings of others.

Do we still refer to people as "retarded?" Do we call others a "Cripple?" Most of us do not because we realize those terms are not very sensitive.

Likewise, we have to consider the origins of when people were called "colored people." That term was the "polite" term for African Americans during a time when they were mostly called "Niggers" by many white Americans. It was an era when the entire race was looked down upon.

Furthermore, no one is actually "white." We're all "colored." The point is that the term "colored people" was used to identify a group of people in a negative light because it separated them from the rest of society.

We realize that term "retarded" is wrong even though we know that the word retard means "slow." We realize that it's also wrong to use the word "cripple" even though that person is physically handicapped. Perhaps it is time to realize thta calling someone a "colored person" is inappropriate, as well.

Yet clearly tiny minds come in all colors.

Thanks Clem. That works.

J/C,

I didn't realize 'ol Jussie is facing a Felony over this LOL

As he should. What a moron.

It's only a misdemeanor in my neck of the woods.

Smollett charged with filing false police report

Associated Press•February 20, 2019


CHICAGO (AP) — The Latest on the attack reported by Jussie Smollett (all times local):

6:55 p.m.

Chicago police say 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett has been charged with felony disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report when he reported that he was attacked by two masked men.

Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says the Cook County State's Attorney's office approved the felony charge on Wednesday afternoon. The charge is a Class 4 felony that carries a possible prison sentence of 1-3 years, but he could also receive probation.

Smollett reported to police that on Jan. 29 two masked men shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him, beat him, threw a chemical substance at him and looped a rope tied like a noose around his neck.

The charges against Smollett were filed after two men who allegedly took part in the scheme testified before a grand jury.

6:45 p.m.

An attorney representing two brothers implicated in the alleged scheme by 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett to file a false police report in what he's said was an attack by masked men in Chicago last month says the two testified before a grand jury for a total of 2 ½ hours and that they did take money from Smollett.

Gloria Schmidt told reporters at the Chicago courthouse after Abimbola "Abel" and Olabinjo "Ola" Osundairo appeared before the grand jury on Wednesday that the two did not testify as part of any plea deal with prosecutors and said that the two were not granted any immunity from prosecution.

She said there was a point where the account of the men needed to be told and that they "manned up and said, 'We're gonna correct this.'"

The testimony came after the brothers were released from custody by police who said they were no longer suspects. Their testimony came the same day that police department said that Smollett is now considered a suspect for "filing a false police report" and that the case has been referred to a grand jury

4:55 p.m.

A spokeswoman says Chicago's top prosecutor recused herself from the Jussie Smollett investigation because she had had conversations with one of the "Empire" actor's family members and "facilitated a connection" with the police department.

Tandra Simonton said Wednesday that Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx recused herself from the case last week "out of an abundance of caution." The move was announced Tuesday.

Foxx's first assistant, Joe Magats, is overseeing the case.

A police official says Smollett is suspected of lying about the attack and that detectives were presenting evidence to a grand jury Wednesday afternoon.

Smollett has repeated stood by his account. The black and gay actor told police that two masked men attacked him early on Jan. 29 and hurled racist and homophobic slurs at him.

Smollett's lawyers didn't respond to repeated requests for comment on Wednesday.

4:30 p.m.

A police official says "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett is now considered a suspect "for filing a false police report" and that detectives are presenting the case against him to a grand jury.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tweeted the news on Wednesday after Smollett's attorneys met with prosecutors and detectives.

Smollett told police he was attacked by two masked men while walking home from a Subway sandwich shop at around 2 a.m. on Jan. 29. He says they beat him, hurled racist and homophobic insults at him and looped a rope around his neck before fleeing.

Police couldn't find surveillance video of the attack but questioned two men who were initially deemed as suspects but who were released Friday. On Saturday, Guglielmi said information from the men had "shifted" the investigation and that police want to speak to Smollett again.

A police official says lawyers for Jussie Smollett are meeting with prosecutors and police investigators about the reported attack on the "Empire" actor late last month.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says the meeting was taking place Wednesday afternoon. He declined to confirm reports that subpoenas had been issued for Smollett's phone and bank records.

Fox Television says "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett "continues to be a consummate professional on set" and it has reiterated that he's not being written out of the show.

The statement issued Wednesday by 20th Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment follows reports that Smollett's role on the show was being slashed amid police investigations into the actor's report that he was attacked in Chicago last month.

The 36-year old told Chicago police that two masked men beat him, yelled homophobic and racial slurs and looped a rope around his neck. Smollett is black and gay.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said last week that media reports about the attack being a hoax were unconfirmed by case detectives. Police said Saturday that their investigation had "shifted" after they interviewed two brothers who were arrested and later released.

___

6:40 a.m.

Chicago police say they've dismissed a tip that on the night "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett reported being attacked by two masked men, he was in an elevator at his apartment building with two brothers later arrested and released from custody.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Tuesday that a person in the building reported seeing the three together the night in question last month. But he says video evidence shows the report isn't credible.

Guglielmi says the two brothers meet with investigators Tuesday. There was no immediate word on what they discussed.

Smollett has said two masked men hurled racial and homophobic slurs at him, beat him and looped a rope around his neck. Smollett is black and gay.

On Saturday, police announced that the "investigation had shifted" following interviews with the brothers. Police have requested another interview with Smollett.

This is the last thing this inflamed society needed. What an a-hole.

If it’s true he set it up, yep.

If found innocent he’ll still be considered an a-hole by many, so he’s tainted for life.
