That's fair.America loves a comeback story, his career is not over.
Considering the vast majority of Americans had no idea who this guy was before this incident, I don't see him ever shedding this scarlet letter. This is particularly disappointing because it simultaneously stokes racial animosity while making it harder for real victims to be believed. You really think he can survive this?
LOL.
Your first sentence is a real two America's perspective. To millions of Americans Smollet is just as recognizable as Will Arnett and Jason Sudekis (I literally had to look these dudes names up, recognize their faces, forgot their names).
Your second sentence should be put on a poster for white fragility. White people have been blaming black men for crimes they didn't commit literally every day since emancipation. We wanna take bets on how many of my people are locked up because some white person wanted to pin a crime on them that they didn't commit, how many lynched, executed by the government? When any of that happens do white people feel the need to blame them for stoking black distrust in the white power structure? GMAFB on "stoking racial animosity," anyone who uses this or any other false accusation didn't need this to fuel the animus. Black people are 12% of the population, it should be clear to all that we hold no keys in controlling what white people think about race relations.
I know you don't condone his actions, if indeed the allegations of a hoax are proven to be true. But thanks for reminding me we have an ugly history of prejudice in this country, and in too many cases unrelated to this instance, that pattern continues today. If you want to make this about that, then I'm outtie. If unrelated to this case, you want to point out other instances of black people being unfairly victimized by the justice system, then I'll gladly stand beside you and voice my strong disapproval. Have a great day.
What I want is for people to stop making this about anything but one dude and an elaborate lie. I don't want white people using these highly publicized hoaxes as a crutch for improved race relations. The boy who cried wolf talking point is 100% unacceptable, I'll hear it from the dax's, ksuw's, and the 27's of this world, but well meaning liberals and moderates should be metaphorically smacked every time they do it.
But if we shouldn't give this episode any significance broader than the individual actors in this case, would that have been the case if Smollet was actually attacked by MAGA guys?
In other words, let's say that two guys did attack Smollet and shout "this is MAGA country" and the events unfolded like Smollet actually reported. Would you give credence to a trump supporter who said "wait a second, these highly publicized instances of violence shouldn't be given any significance beyond the individuals involved. They aren't evidence of my intentions, the intentions of the president, or the intentions of those that support the president."
I could go either way on it, but I think we should probably be consistent. Either we attach broader significance to these actions, or we limit the significance to the actors involved.
You should all stop pretending that much of the media isn’t at least partially complicit in these hoaxes.

I don’t like Trump and MAGA people, so who gives a crap about the truth?
I disagree with your position.

The levels of illegal border crossing/attempted illegal border is at unprecedented levels.
Good one, Dax!
At current pace, it will at minimum blow by the previous 5 Federal Fiscal Years by a wide margin, likely months early. The current FFY avg is 60K caught/inadmissible a month . . . that's just what they catch.
Where'd you get your numbers, Dax?

Not one person has ever posted."all I want is an open border" on here but dax needs that stawman to base his wall of text on.
The policies and politicians you support belie this statement in it's entirety.
Quit lying, Phil.
Your tapout is noted. Moving on.
It's either one of two things, Phil. Either you guys are playing politics with national security, or you want open borders. Which is it?

Trump: UNPRECEDENTED
Withering words, but in the real world, their "emergency" declarations were about invoking statutes to sanction various bad actors on the intl stage; none were about reprograming funds to finance a disputed policy goal Congress had declined to fund. https://t.co/R0K4mlAeEs https://t.co/s9VA8JPHby

Trump, responding to my question, concedes there’s no national emergency to justify building his wall: “I didn’t need to do this... I just want to do it faster.”

That answer will complicate his legal case.
