Wrong, RiddleMe. Those two thugs clearly are racist to the core and Trump supporters to boot. Pretty stinking obvious. Nigerians are the biggest racist Trump supporters out there. Yep, wtf, displaying his usual brilliance, called this one. Hahahahaha!
It is funny, I have gotten the goat of these people time and time again. But they never learn. When we have the next supposed racist, Trump-driven attack they will rush in to make fools of themselves again. Just watch.

If they don't charge Smollett with anything, then he just got a lot of free publicity.

They'd better throw the book at him and give him some serious jail time. I am tired of these progs committing crimes and laying it off on conservatives. They need to get their asses thrown in jail.
In any case, permit me a little gloating at the expense of the fools.
wtf - True colors of MAGA fags
glide - The racists and bigots have come out of the woodwork since Trump was elected.
Cole - An orchestrated hate crime.
johnnyboy - So your skepticism combined with blaming the victim allows you ignore the reporter facts. I think your need for all stories to Have the same heroes and the same villains is proof that you have watched too much fox. Nuance. Give it a try. Depth, which comes from many sources, will help you too. Labeling ideas you don't like to people you don't like is also hampering your understanding.
And, then there is the star of this thread -
Tpap - You seem to miss the point. What I am saying is that there appears to be more to this than what meets the eye. I suspect that either this guy is lying, or the attackers had an entirely different motive than the one progs have reflexively seized upon to trash every conservative white man in the country. Just trying to help you progs out. Due to either stupidity or inability to see outside of your ideological bubble, progs automatically assume that these types of "incidents" conform to their "all white men are evil and racist" worldview. Prog are almost always wrong on this and end up looking utterly stupid. I am trying to help progs avoid that fate with this incident. Best wait and see what develops before proclaiming that this proves all white men are evil and racist.
Is that hitting it out of the park or what?

There is rampant racism within cultures. Have you ever asked a Cuban their opinion on Mexicans? Or a Puerto Rica about people from the Dominican Republic?
And no, it's not systemic, but it does exist.

not disagreeing with you, but black on black racial hate crimes is a tough sell in this country.

The two brothers who were interrogated by police investigating the alleged attack on Jussie Smollett purchased the rope that was found around the "Empire" actor's neck, sources told ABC News Saturday.
Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo agreed to cooperate with authorities after detectives confronted them with evidence that they bought the rope -- allegedly used in an attack that Smollett described to police as laced with racial and homophobic slurs -- at a local hardware store, sources said.
Detectives have now shifted the investigation to determining whether Smollett made up the entire story, sources said.

Police: Two brothers told investigators they were paid by Jussie Smollett to stage attack
USA TODAY Aamer Madhani,USA TODAY 5 hours ago
Two Nigerian brothers told Chicago police investigators that they were paid by "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett to stage an attack on him, according to a person familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly.
The person, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation, said police are attempting to interview Smollett again, so they can question him about the brothers' account.

saw same thing on nbc. found the rope and bleach purchased at hardware store just before attack in the home of the brothers as well as a mask and script. one brother worked with smollett and he followed both on instagram. other evidence not released yet prompted police to turn investigation to smollett himself for possibly staging the whole thing.

Were there witnesses to the attack? If not, why bother with a script?
