In today's political climate, it's not surprising to think he might've hoped to get more pay after an incident like this.

But I agree and would also probably classify this as a hate crime in and of itself.

Quote:I have nothing but the utmost respect for my friends at ABC and other things. Robin [Roberts] did a terrific job on that interview. I'm just talking about how you respond to this sort of crisis. That doesn't really work anymore, and I think that is old school. This is playing out every single moment in cable news.

Sean Hannity's going to eat Jussie Smollett's lunch every single second. Tucker Carlson is going to eat Jussie Smollett's lunch every single second... the president of the United States is going to eat his lunch. And who does the president of the United States watch every night? Cable news. So that's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.

Why should they let it go? Why shouldn't they "eat his lunch?" Jesse Smollett deserves everything he gets right now. What is Don Lemon's point? What's yours?

It's newsworthy but they will be using this as ammo for a very long time against the black community in much the same way as creatuonists like to remind us of fossil hoaxes to argue against evolution.

And guess who we have to blame for it? Jussie Smollett. He's the problem in this situation, not fox news. Just stop.

edit: Your response here should be disgust. Not "oh wow this is gonna get dragged out." That's fucking gross. Wow. Double-standards are funny.

Imagine in response to the Neeson controversy someone here said that "Yea this is newsworthy but shouldn't be dragged out like this"

Every wannabe SJW from here to the Mars would be crucifying that person for saying such a thing. Double-standards. Smh.

I didn't say that. Kindly do not fucking misrepresent me.

I am talking about the long term effect this will have on the black community. White people won't be generally negatively affected by what Liam Neeson said or did.

What Smollett did was despicable. What Fox News and other media will do will go beyond just criticizing one guy who happens to be black. That's the point I'm making. I wasn't saying anything against you.

You think what smollett did was despicable? Lead with that next time you fucking asshole. My cousin was attacked when he was younger for literally being black and homosexual MULTIPLE TIMES and I had to help fight off the attackers one time. Shit like this makes it easier for people to say that people like my cousin are lying. You should be blaming Jussie Smollett, not talking about how fox is going to "Eat his lunch." Holy shit you're so disconnected from reality.
 
What an idiot.

You are so easily triggered you can't even see the point I'm trying to make. I'm looking at the bigger picture here, not disagreeing with the assessment of this one individual. Note the post I was responding to. I can sure as hell make the point that certain anti-black and racist media will take advantage of this and help exacerbate the situation.

It's like I can't express a concern here without you whining when you see something you disagree with. You sound like a really difficult person to interact with.

You framed your "bigger picture concerns" as if Fox news is to blame. No, in this situation, Jussie Smollett is to blame. Period. I see your point and I realize it's moronic. Jussie Smollett is the one who should be attacked here, not Fox. What the fuck are you babbling about? Thanks for your nuanced opinion, a one-liner and a Don Lemon quote. Good job. Get the fuck outta here. Smh.

edit:

If one day you or someone you love is the victim of a REAL hate crime, and gets their fucking head beaten in with a brick (exactly what happened to my cousin once), just remember your "bigger picture concerns" then. Asshole.

Yep I'm dealing with a very difficult person here. Wouldn't be surprised if you have some Cluster B personality disorder that's making you act out like this.

So now you're condescendingly suggesting I have some kind of mental illness? What the fuck is wrong with you? You're a piece of shit dude. Gtfoh.

Who the fuck writes a check to fund criminal activities?
