    Anyone who believes white privilege exists needs to rethink their position on who the racists are.

    And anyone who watches TV commercials should notice that 12% of the population dominate 90% of those commercials simply because of color and should rethink their position on who’s privileged.

    There is obviously no link.

    The 12%/90% thing is just another ridiculous RW claim (with zero evidence).

    Not only that, but it is ridiculously off-topic.

    Yeah?

    And so what?

    It isn't anywhere near 90%.

    The claim made by "Steve N" is complete Unsourced BS (that he just pulled out of the air).

    Oh, and back on topic, if the cops hit a dead end it will be very interesting to see if they decide to file false report charges.

    Thanks for admitting you made it up. No surprise of course.

    True.

    Although, I think it is evermore important, to mention this new emphasis on Black Women-White Men couples in the scenarios like you listed here.

    Clearly, Pop Culture's narrative consists of extinguishing the Negroid-looking adult male from the USA frontier.

    92% get diplomas? Only about 76% graduate high school so where did you get that number?


    I found something. I guess including those going back and getting one, yeah.

    Years ago in my town I saw the most amazing black woman in a mall who was probably not American as she was the blackest woman I have ever seen. Her hair and skin shined with a blue tint. She was also at least 6' tall or taller. Totally fascinated me.

    LOL


    It brings to mind the concept they used for that tv show, Empire, considering the show's creator (Lee Daniels) is a gay Black man...makes sense that Jussie Smollet was given an Opportinity.

    Anyone see the GMA interview? “It's like, you know, at first, it was a thing of, like, 'Listen, if I tell the truth then that's it, 'cause it's the truth.’ Then it became a thing of like, 'Oh, how can you doubt that? Like, how do you, how do you not believe that? It's the truth.’ And then it became a thing of like, 'Oh, it's not necessarily that you don't believe that this is the truth, you don't even want to see the truth.’” - the arrogance of this guy. https://www.chicagotribune.com/ente...ie-smollett-abc-interview-20190213-story.html

    Sorry, just because you say something, doesn't make it true. Accusations require proof.

    Significant Update:

    Police Have Identified Two Persons Of Interest In The Attack On Jussie Smollett

    Presumably these are the two individuals found on the surveillance footage and identified as two persons of interest, but not identified as suspects. If nothing else, then presumably they are able to provide more information regarding what they saw on that night. A reminder that (assuming these are the same two previously published by police), then they were seen across the street at the same time as Jussie, seen walking off camera at the same time (and in the same direction) as Jussie, and then Jussie reappeared 60 seconds later with rope around his neck.

    Good old fake news Buzzfeed. So you're excited because they identified 2 humans with no evidence of an attack that took place.

    Being a straight white male is enough to put a target on your back in liberal lala land, you don't see us fabricating attacks and hate crimes though. Once again we see the mythical 'right-wing' terror threat bandied around, yet there exists no evidence there is a threat, much less a significant threat. Oddly enough, when liberal minorities kill thousands in their ghettos EVERY single year, you folks are silent, no threat there...

    I posted early on in this thread, hoping that if this happened, that the perpetrators would be quickly caught. But, as the days and revelations have continued, I have serious doubt that the attack occurred in the way it was reported. Why? Because of the folks most directly able to provide evidence of their story have been demonstrably reticent to provide it. I can't know his mind, or the mind of the manager, but not turning over the phone records seems to indicate that there is dissembling happening at best, and a hoax at worst.

    But there are too many inconsistent facts, from MAGA swearing attackers, to folks lying in wait, just for him. I hate that this kind of event devalues the real horror that have happened to so many in the gay community over the years. Brutal deaths, brutal beatings. All leveraged here, it seems, to invoke sympathy that likely doesn't have merit.

    "Alleged to be in the area..."

    Yeah...

    "...where a crime was reported."

    I believe the word alleged refers to the "crime," not the location of those two individuals.

    That takes an extremely paranoid view to believe that. It's a conspiracy theory. And it's absolutely insane.

    It's seeming more and more likely that the crime if it happened, at all which is quite doubtful, likely did not happen the way Smollett claimed. No evidence supports it at all.

    Prediction, if it's proven to be a hoax and Smollett isn't arrested for false reporting (famous person privilege that actually exists) no mainstream media will report it.
