If Jussie Smollet Were A White Man
It just stands to reason that we should ask why
Full or BS or is he telling the complete truth?
Justice being done or massacred?
U and I both know how sometimes the law is none too color blind
So is that maybe the twisted case here?
So if is what the hell are we to do?
It's sad our world has come to this whichever way it goes
Everyone taking sides so torn over who to believe
Such bitterness to think this could be a case of racial profiling
Man judged by his skin color alone
Oh yes that is the worst crime of them all
Looking at it closer what dare we to find?
Last in line to be heard here seems to be the truth
Every time we're sure, another twist comes along
This is insane
What if he were white?
Ever think about that?
Right now who could we be standing behind without a doubt
Eventfully the whole bitter story will be known
And either way it goes the damage will be devasting
Where will it leave us?
How will we pick up the pieces to trust again?
It's a scary thing indeed to think about
The monster of racism is feasting away either way and it sucks
Every time we think we have it beat it rears its ugly head again
Must it always be this way?
A hate crime one way or another has been committed here
Now it remains only to be seen
Who is the guilty party here?
The police for jumping to accuse a man just because of his color?
Or......
Jussie Smollet simply because he's a greedy, hateful person at heart?

I Never Got Into The TV Show
Hop is not bop. But fabricated or vindicated, it probably won't make much difference except in the selection of the next star role on the big screen, which if he did lie, will be delayed possibly indefinitely. After a suspended 3 year jail term - lying is not that big a deal in the business world. Everybody lies. Ask Mr. Trump and his cronies. JS was impatient for fame and needed his face in the news - which he got. If he is very successful and gets courted by hollywood, it will not help us much with liars and cheaters, if he did it. If not, and that's a biggie kinda if, black/white/brown won't matter - the size of the pay off and fame will be his ticket to ride as a household name. - slc
What Jussie did was wrong and
What Jussie did was wrong and he should be held accountable for those actions. We should also remember that a lot of people in the world have done far worse things than that. The worst part of this is that he makes it harder real victims to come forward. It makes it easier to doubt their stories. Good writing here.
Thank you. I agree what he
Thank you. I agree what he did has made it much harder for real victims to come forward. I hope some day he understands the far reaching conquences of his actions and seeks forgivness.
