the Jussie Smollett incident - what say you wordforge?

Oh noes, I'm the only woman under 60 that Oldfella won't smash! How will I ever survive?!

my neighbor down the street (elderly lady) lived & worked in Chicago many years back. Her company went through a Jessie Jackson "shakedown". Basically it was:
"you don't have enough blacks employed in management positions at your company"
"we don't get many qualified black applicants - you can monitor our hiring practices and check our records."
"that's not going to solve the problem and ease racial tensions today, right now."
"what do you expect us to do then?"
"a monetary contribution to our organization would stem the growing unease on the street.
I can't appease these upset frustrated victims of racism much longer. There's no telling what
they might do. I would hate to see your great employees put in harm's way you see."

Jackson would do this kind of shit all over Chicagoland back in the day.

Damn. I've had that idiot on ignore for quite awhile so I missed all this. Considering all the griping about Diner, was there any outrage from leftforge over this.?

None that i can recall but i admittedly don’t read every post here

Then again they seem to be giving him a pass on bragging about trolling someone online into killing themselves so......

That is how his con works. It is a verifiable fact and the absolute best thing you can say about the neg reppers is they are ignorant pieces of shit but the more correct term is that they are racist pieces of shit who should simply be drug out into the street and shot or killed by what ever means is most convenient. A pick axe to the head is too good for them.

I can state what is a serious crime for me. Not a person in my life has had a negative reaction towards me because of him. So please do not tell me about any of that. I can live my life. Your concern about me I find false and manipulative. It is like the people who say they don't want me being a woman or being gay because of all the violent awful things that happen. It does not ring true because it is always their difficulties with who I am, and it always comes back to their own weaknesses. So you have the problem with this, so just admit it.

The people who have freaked out about this are the racist, homophobes, and MAGAts. They have their own prejudices. No allies of the GLBT community or people like me are now going OMG black ad gay people suck because of him. As a matter of fact it has made things stronger in that people recognize one guy doing a crime is not reflective of a whole community. But please do go on about how you are now feeling worse about these people because of one guy.

No, I shouldn't because I recognize groups npot based on violence, hate, and crime like racists, MAGAts, and extremists are the ones with the problem. People who are just some color skin or who have adult consensual love for others are not a problem.

Yes, I should hate him because you hate him. It is much more convenient to do those things. Hell, if read my point of view it is that everyone makes mistakes and things like ACDs on mom violent crimes are positive and often lead to people learning from their actions and recognize forgiveness is often better than destroying people. I even brought such things up with the MAGA boys a few months ago. They went out and did a teenager thing, and will grow up. They may be very different people in years and it will be a shame when they suffer effects like not getting hired because of their error and their parents obvious faults. They don't deserve to be in their thirties and have some hiring manager hold that event as a singular mistake against them.

Jossie has no record as far as I am aware and deserves the same treatment most everyone gets because of his mistake. Hitting him harder than others will only reinforce his persecution complex and push him to New crimes.

It is just not fitting the crime. Sorry, but this is not a serious crime, and it happens all the time. Police get lied to every day. Look at divorces and break ups. People can get real nasty when dealing with ex loved ones and do try to get them arrested. Beyond that some people make false reports of crimes to get people swatted.

If you are really having problems with stirring racial and homophobic hate for personal gain I would love to introduce Donald Trump. Much bigger problem than this, but yet for some reason you don't find a need to come speaking on that. Religions of all types attack the GLBT community for gain of money and power, but you don't seem to be taking so much offense over that. This is one B TV show supporting actor. This incident was investigated by the police and the truth was obtained with no one being arrested falsely for the crime. Things worked as they were supposed to and he was punished with a fine and lost his job. The reality is he paid more in fines than most people do.

Jesus fucking christ, I had a woman make a false police report that I exposed myself in Walmart and after the police handled it and ticketed her and Walmart fired their staff who went along and made up shit about me being drunk despite having video evidence and interaction with me I did not go this crazy. I was an actual victim there and figured justice was done. This is just not a huge crime.

Get over yourselves. None of you were hurt, and please do save me the crocodile tears from the racists and homophobes telling us how it is only because they care about us so much that they are angry with this guy. The only reason they care is because he was black and fingered a anonymous MAGAt.

Now you care about racism and it's effects? Save me that bullshit. If you actually care about the ill effects of racism stop being a huge racist.

I would say lucky you, but you probably were not going to be one of the women he hits on at the gas station.

Yes, it is very nice to have the racism turned around on people and to blame the victims for the racist assholes who treat them poorly. You should all be mad at jossie because he riled up the racists and some of them might try for retribution.

Go fuck yourself.

One trick My Little Pony. Keep beating that drum! (And get some psychiatric help. And get off the drugs!)

You are getting more like flashy every day. You have nothing to say about how trump was insulting McCain, yet you want people to honor the military? You have no standards, no honor. do something amusing, your schtick is growing old.

I remember that one. So according to leftforge, disparaging Hispanics and bullying are okay, but don't you dare pick on the Muslims. That deserves a daily dose of left hate.

I also decided to read some of Tereruns um....posting ....and wow. He has become even more loopy than I remember.

Is threats of violence and protection rackets? 'cause that's what was described above.

You've got some serious anger issues.

This from the guy who talked about glassing the Middle East for not taking in refugees and is the biggest class snob on the board?

Fuck you.

Why the fantasy world rep, @Dinner?

I'm right.

Probably not because most of us scroll right by @Tererun's posts.

Oh wow that's going to bite her in the ass.

Not the washed up part but the part where she's obviously not recused like she said she was.

She made a big mistake.

Osundairo brothers’ lawsuit: Smollett ‘directed every aspect’ of fake attack

The two brothers initially considered suspects in the Jussie Smollett hate crime investigation filed a defamation lawsuit against the “Empire” actor’s attorneys Tuesday, alleging that those lawyers made several false remarks about the brothers after criminal charges against Smollett were dropped.

In a federal lawsuit, Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo also contend that Smollett paid them “a sum of money to stage the attack [against Smollett] to benefit himself” and “directed every aspect of the attack, including the location and the noose.”

Countdown to this being quietly settled out of court: 10...9...8...

The conservative obsession with the two ripped Nigerians continues.

I know, perhaps there is a support group @Zombie, @Paladin, and @Tuttle can join.

It’s an ongoing story, no obsession at all.

Ongoing? I can't imagine edging for months on end.

No, I think April is a good time to start edging the front walk. The grass is growing again.
