Battyman actor from Empire allegedly gets jumped in Chicago; Update: Arrested for filing fake report

So if all of THIS turns out to be True,
What are WE Prepared to do?

Regardless of his Sexuality,
Smollet is still a Young Black Man.
And he still does more "Race/Social" Work than any of US will ever do.

I feel a lot of Cats here are focusing more on the "conspiracy" angle because of Smollet being Gay.
And making all sorts of stupid jokes to deflect.
Would it had mattered if it were a Straight Dude?

For Smollet's sake (and others supporting him), I "hope" this attack was real.
Because it would be another example of the Black Experience in this country.

I truly hope Smollet's attack was REAL!
Lol funny how you ask a question like

“What are WE prepared to do?”

Answer your own question

What are YOU prepared to do?

Don’t worry bout WE.

I don't see what's funny about it.
But provided all of this is true,
It is going to take "WE".
Because "WE" is all WE got.

So whatever it may take Bruh.

We are going to do the same thing we did to George Zimmerman. Absolutely NOTHING!!!

What have WE ever done to combat senseless unprovoked violence against us?
 
I don't know what WE got to do about it considering how he refused to help in the investigation and ain't been forthcoming since the beginning to the police. Shit like changing the story after the initial one. If he had a conversation with his manager verifying what was said then why not let them verify it? Unless he's afraid they would find something incriminating. Is he afraid they will find some hook up app showing he tried to hook up in the area of subway and brought a sub to play it off and shit went left?

Historically,
We used to do A LOT to deal with this.
From Slave Revolts, to Deacons of Defense, to Black Folks who sat on their porches with guns ready to deal.

I just want to see where everyone thinks we can stem from doing Absolutely NOTHING!

It does get tiring.
Especially when a lot of US aren't on the same page.

Jeez.
I just had this sort of discussion with a older West Indian Sista at the laundromat a few minutes ago.
But that stemmed from her complaining about how "They" let that White Man win another Super Bowl Ring.
(Her Words)
LOL

And that went into how she felt Black People still aren't awake.
 
So you ain’t answer the question. What are YOU gonna do?

I'm protecting MYSELF First of Course.
If You want to sit and go back and forth on this, that's You.
I know what I need to do.

I learned that shit the hard way ages ago.
Now getting other of OUR folks around me to listen...
I honestly admit that's going to be a harder sell these days.
And that's sad shit too.
Because I know I'm dealing with a lot of US who would rather shit on our own,
Than lay whatever ground work needs to be done.

Especially when SOME of Us would rather argue all day.
I know I can't waste my time like that.

You?
 
The gay 2pac thing is a bit much,he's trying to turn himself into some kind of spokes person or something,which everyone wants to do til they have to answer to something or someone else.We're all victim of something.....

Lol so you come at everyone saying “what WE gone do?” Outta nowhere

But can’t take the same question back.
 
I'm conflicted here. On the one hand, casual racists have been emboldened to an almost cartoonish level by the culture fostered around this current admin (this is undeniable). On the other, elements of this story feels a bit contrived and the details are sketchy.

Given the lack of clear evidence in either direction so far I'm comfortable taking dude at his word for now. I'm not super freaked out by gay folks personally so that dimension is a non-issue. Giving the benefit of the doubt to a black man supercedes all the other stuff afaic. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but I don't see the need to chop this dude down preemptively. Let's see what the outcome is.

why would an openly gay man have to hide that he hooks up with men?

say that shyt out loud

I already took that question.
And answered.

But since you don't have any real response.
I guess it's all relative.

Just Stop already.

say that shyt out loud
Why would a victim of a racist/homophobic assault want to withhold any supporting evidence that could help support his own statements and build a hate crime case?

Say that shit out loud
 
@largebillsonlyplease @4 Dimensional

See I was with him for a minute, I understand as BLACK MALES period we ned to unite against the enemy.

The odd thing here is besides the obvious problem with the thread title?

I have NEVER seen Black men do any violent gay bashing in fact coming up? I know many times where they were DEFENDED.

Again I am NOT going to lie and say they were fully welcomed be it religious or cultural reasons but this BASHING thing was VERY few and far between and almost always white.

And then he contends that Black see themselves as the MOST victimized?



@6:00

So this brother is basically saying straight Black men need to be more sympathetic to gay Black men...and we currently are
not
because we are more "privileged" then they are

If this were a cac bitch accusing black men of an attack, she'd be getting grilled into oblivion right about now and that's saying a lot in the #metoo era. Not letting them see some simple phone record. They don't even need to hold the phone to see that shit. CPD and the media content to let this ride. Ain't worth the heat.

the first person that warned me about gay men and catholic priests in the same breath was my best friend's father who was haitian (rip)
he hated both equally....

for my generation -across the caribbean - being gay was dangerous - in Trinidad 2 men holding hands after sunset meant stone n bottle pelting - heaven help them if they were slow runners cause kicks and sticks were coming next

the slave master / overseer practice of buck breaking via sodomizing male slaves - was real -
but no one really asks or expects an answer to why today's black men are taught by their elders from birth to be less tolerant of homosexuals than other demographic groups

they are very careful who they give a platform to - because the more knowledge shared in our community - the faster anger / rage foments

as always you 100%

but while dad was like you NEED to go to church....

he aint trust no priest

and my whole family drove cabs in NYC in the 70/80 so you already know. They saw it ALL

I was thought to be respectful

that is it.

NOTHING more.

that is my only point

most 1st generation kids born here were I think taught to be a LITTLE more accepting

they would kill me if they heard I went out to beat up some gay kids

Again of course I would hear it from all my family and friends machete threats but it always seem like more bluster...

HERE IN THE STATES I'm talking.

I aint talking about some gay may hitting on a straight island dude...

I mean PERSONALLY I aint know any island dudes out here going OUT OF THERE WAY to cause trouble.

It was always like kept it over THERE...and we OK.

we were not taught to seek them out up here - in the islands the culture was to attack them
but up here it was live and let live...

but....
for many their father or siblings taught them if a gay man were to approach them the reaction was severe - if a gay man was aggressive or *touched - violence was the only expected reaction

many went too far or did too much to protect their rep or make an example

Anyone saying anyone black has a privilege is full of shit and agenda based

Blaming straight black men for everything is the business right now



It's so fucking stupid because they've successfully made who you fuck identify as who you are.....in our community

Did this dude really say that every group have t worse than black straight men(black people) and then he says racism isn't the foundation of America....What fucking history book he's reading.This country was founded on racism....lol...


Straight black men have never systematically oppressed gay people yet folks continue to say this bullshit rhetoric.....

And,I wish folks stop saying straight black men let alone black people have privilege because we don't....Shit like this annoys the hell out of me when I see another black person say this bullshit..
 




CHICAGO (WLS) --
"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett has returned to work in Chicago after he said he was attacked last week in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood.

Chicago police said Wednesday they have found additional video, but the new video does not show the alleged attack.


Police are looking at stores in the area to see if rope was purchased and by whom. Police said the rope found around Smollett's neck was similar to that used for a clothes line. Police also said they may question Smollett again in hopes of furthering the investigation.

Smollett told police he was walking alone in the 300-block of East North Water Street around 2 a.m. Jan. 29, on his way back from a nearby Subway restaurant, when he was beaten by two masked men, who poured a chemical on him. The chemical substance is believed to be bleach, but it is being confirmed by independent testing.
The men yelled racist and homophobic slurs at Smollett. He said the men also put a noose around his neck. In a later interview, he said they yelled "MAGA country" as they beat him, before running away.

The rope Smollett had around his neck when officers arrived at the high rise home he was in has been described as being like a "clothes line."

Brandon Z. Moore, Smollett's music manager, said he was on the phone with the actor when he heard some of the attack, and heard the words "MAGA country."

The "attack" happened in that apartment he was staying at
 
Wonder how the fruit community will spin this when its found out that he lied.

They will still play victim even if they're wrong. The gay activist of the past(like James Baldwin) was honest and had integrity and you could sympathize and respect them even if you don't support that lifestyle. They was just trying not to be victims of violent attacks and being discriminated against.

The gay activist of today are dishonest hyper radicalized mafioso bullies pushing a far left kooky loony toon agenda. They even trying to add pedos to their ranks:smh:.

Wait


So you've NEVER seen any Black men gay bashing? Da fuck? Where do you live? I have.

Definitely not Jamaica and Africa levels but I have. Much less now, and I'm glad for that.

But it's happened. That ain't got nothing to do with the fact that this guy is lying though.
 
Never trust a fruit cake! Besides, it’s his fault he can’t fight. Your not good with your hands, spend time at the gun range....
