When Dave Chappelle talked about how most black people reacted after this hoax unfolded, he hit it right on the head. He basically said black people knew he was lying right off the bat and for the most part chose to sit it out. White liberals wanted it to be true, so they could, of course, blame Trump. Smollett's actions were reckless and he could have sparked racial tensions to a fever pitch and who knows where that may have wound up? The MSM wanted to run with that story but even they were a bit more timid than usual in doing so. Even so, things were pretty tense for a time and Chicago spent a ton of money chasing down his make believe antics. I don't want to see this goof get buried over this, but I hope he gets more than a hand slap. He can rebound and have a productive happy life and maybe he will. Everyone deserves a second chance, but he has to understand people won't forget what he did anytime soon. Now the jokes will come, don't beat yourself up over this Jussie.
