Re: jussie smollett

What was the lad at the game doing?
I read a bit about monkey gestures but not seen anything else about it?

It looked like he was doing monkey gestures but then they released a video from right next to him that showed he was doing fat tits.

Now there's a sentence

Fat tits

Don't, last time this came up it turned into a 5 pager about whether calling someone fat tits was a hate crime

Re: jussie smollett

Surprisingly, this sort of thing (false claims of racism amongst richer/better off people) is far more common than you'd think, particularly in the US. Okay, I don't have any doubts that the REAL incidents of racism outnumber the false ones probably by thousands, but still, it's a bit strange. Why do people do it? Attention-seeking? Wanting to appear to be a victim? Publicity?

A five pager about fat tits is sometimes what this board needs, in fact any tits will do, even Blue on times

Re: jussie smollett

I feel sorry for him more than anything else. He's an incompetent fool and he's made a twat of himself. It's not like any false arrests were made of men in MAGA hats. (which could well have happened if he was white) He's an out-of-work actor, who tried to attract attention to himself by some incredibly bad acting. It was obvious from the start he was lying. He still had the noose he said his attackers put on him around his neck when the cops showed up to his apartment. EPIC fail.

perhaps you missed the point that when people are trying create as much racial division as possible he was pouring bleach on a chip pan fire

He wasn't trying to create racial division. There was no backlash against white people. No black people suddenly became aware of racism. He was attempting to use the fact that racial division exists to further his own (completely unrelated) ends. He was going for his 15 minutes and some sympathy. Nothing more.

again you missed the point , he was aware of the racial agenda and played on it, if he had been believed the divisions would have been wider

What is it that makes you think that you know what "the point" is?

Also, the language you use sounds like you have more of a "racial agenda" than he does.
