So you can pay two Nigerian brothers to stage a racist attack on you and even send a death threat to yourself in some hilariously convoluted attempt to get a big fat pay rise and have the charges dropped against you?

Watch this Smollett tool get put on a pedestal by the loony left in the States.

"Look at that. Accident blackspot? These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!"

Is this serious or is someone making a parody movie over there......I nominate Spike Lee to make the 'Jessie Smollett Story'.

A man so marginalised he gets let off for staging a racial and political attack for personal gain.

I was reading that the payment was routine and for actual personal training, and that they messed up by stating otherwise. The general consensus does still appear to be that was a staged event though and so maybe the outcome is more akin to having a David Beckham-like legal team getting you off an offense on a technicality. Who knows.

I'm offended that you would want to deprive the world of the next chapter of the Jussie Smollet story! If chapter one starts with a racist and homophobic attack carried out by two Nigerian brothers, I don't want to miss the sequel!

Black/gay privilege in conjunction with a bit of indirect help from the Obamas.

That took a turn . I wouldn't give up on Brexit yet. If a foot is out of the door it can go from there. I can still see a deal of some kind being thrashed out even though our politicians are beyond useless.

This is just another symptom of huge and i mean overwhelming huge, massive, gigantic, enormous problems currently prevailing within our Western society. The politicians and media are not helping
