I wanted to believe Smollett. I really did. I know that there is a deep, dark racist history in Chicago and, if proved true, this would be just one more point on the list. I wanted to believe him with every fiber of my being, most of all because the consequences if he were lying were almost too awful to contemplate.
And yet I struggled with Smollett’s story.
I tried telling myself that it is possible that two assailants were walking around downtown Chicago at 2 a.m. in January in 10-degree weather, waiting for a black victim. In addition to that, they were stalking around with a bottle of bleach and a rope. And ultimately, the prey they selected was an actor on a show that they must’ve been somewhat familiar with, because they were able to not only name the show but also know that he played a gay character. Never mind the fact that he was likely bundled up because again: Chicago, January, 10 degrees. Also, after he fought to get away, he left the rope around his neck until he got to the hospital.
Perhaps I don’t want to believe him because this is a stark and scary reminder of the poor condition of the country (and city) that I call home. Maybe this story makes the boogeyman in my nightmares all too real, too close and too calculating. Maybe it’s because while I consider myself an ally to the LGBTQ community, I still don’t understand and appreciate the daily harassment that they endure. Or maybe even though I am a black woman, I still don’t know what it’s like to be a black man in America.

Why?
A hate crime did take place.
The fake legacy media inciting hate against anything Trump or white or Traditional American values.
They don’t investigate, they don’t look into, they do not try anything fair or balanced. They report every rumor, lie and innuendo as FACT in a desperate attempt to DESTROY Trump and his supporters.
The media today (with a few small exceptions) are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the democrat party.
The irony is - they have destroyed themselves.
They are out in the open. Everyone sees them for what they are.
And no one trusts them. Not even those on the left as they know the fake legacy media could turn on them with this slime in a heartbeat.
Another American dream fantasy squashed.
Well, Ms. Mumford, what political party has controlled Chicago for a very long time? Probably the one that you support, and the one that no doubt hatched this stupid hoax.
Victimhood is a powerful narcotic.
Maybe she could just look beyond her blackness and her desire for gay tolerance and for once, just use a little common sense?
The stupid is strong in this one.
Why? Because some people strive not to see color and others can only see color.
There will never be a more “Gay-Friendly” Republican in the White House than Trump.
This is a guy that allowed Perez Hilton to be a Judge in the Miss Universe Pageant for crying out loud.
But the Gay Mafia has a vested interest in the Democratic Party holding power.
She needs to re-think if that “deep dark history of racism in Chicago “ is just a figment of her imagination.
” I know that there is a deep, dark racist history in Chicago....”
So....
1. She admits Blacks are killing each other.....maybe...
2. More importantly, she actually doesn’t know a single racist or their name, anymore than the rest of us....
going back to bed. 2nd week of this weird flu....Maybe I got it from my doctor, who is Muslim.../S (very nice guy...)
Why doesn't FR have a "like" button so I don't have to post my agreement?
Breaks your heart? Sweetie...Middle America,the backbone of this country,is enraged and nauseated!
Because she is a white hating RACIST, who no doubt hates Trump and everyone who voted for him, and perhaps has a slight “crush” on the lying POS Jussie and wishes that he was heterosexual/id upset that though she claims to be all in for LGBTQRSTUV, secretly, she isn’t at all.
A truly classic example of a CMA effort...
I don't know why conservatives in America are having
such a difficult time dealing with the Left.
They are "true believers." They'll believe anything.
So let's just tell them anything. Bait them. They'll
bite at any story if they believe it smears and trashes
conservatives, Republicans, white people, white nations,
Christians, America, American history, just about anything.
We should let these people make fools of themselves!
What does it say about her that she wanted the story to be true? Isn’t that a way of saying that she approves of evil? That she wants people to be attacked on the streets?
As one pundit posted: the supply of racism and bigotry does not even come close to the demand for it......by folks craving “victimhood.”
Because you are a horrible white-hating person, who hoped to stimulate even more black-on-white violence than is already occurring every day in this country.
