If they really are a homophobic organization, why don’t they ban hiring homosexuals in their own restaurants? Donating to an organization with an anti-homosexual policy for councilors seems like a pretty weak way to express such a massive homophobic agenda.

Oooh ROOT bloggers...care to comment now that it’s turning out to be bullshit?

I wouldn’t class myself as “conservative” (only cause I hate these stupid, reductive terms) but you would definitely put me in that group.  I can tell you for a fact his race is utterly irrelevant to me.  I’m enjoying yet another cock-up by the Trump obsessed media and the downfall of a lying, preachy, condescending…

It seems like with every minute that goes by, it’s looking more and more likely that he lied.

The real phenomena is that media knew the story was fake but nobody would take the first step to say so. That’s so condescending to the black community, which weren’t scared to call BS and laughed at how white media was so chickenshit.  That’s where the real disrespect is for the black community. Insulting.

Did it ever occur to you that the majority of white people hate, ‘alt-righters,’ and hate having race and sexual preference as the single topic of discussion 24/7??? That the reason this story is so inflammatory is because it is an obvious fake, that it pushes the narrative that racism and violence in the United…

<If he said two Hispanic or Black men attacked him, the conservatives obsessively following this story would not care or be calling it a hoax.>

God you’re dumb 

The Root and Ms. Stidhum are to scared to publish dissent here. It’s about maintaining the lie of the victim echo chamber.

How will you steer the narrative once charges are brought? Apparently the Nigerians are rolling on him. 

This is what happens when the liberal demand for hate crimes is higher than the supply.

Even now they’re still pushing the lies.

Fake,knew it from the start,you can apologize anytime you want

Saying the attack was staged is premature, but we do know now that this was a hate crime hoax. In otherwords, the attack may still have been real but just not the hate crime aspect of it.

The brothers are in custody, and they have no interest in taking the fall for Mr. Smollett. They’re going to sing like Canaries.

They just arrested Abimbola “Abel” and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo... two obvious Trump supporters from Nigeria. I was holding out hope but it’s definitely not looking good now for Jussie.

Maga chuds don’t watch empire you fucking morons. There’s no way any trump supporter knew who this motherfucker was

“General and healthy skepticism aside, there’s something else occurring here that needs to be pointed out: there are clearly people who never believed Smollett from the very beginning. Now, this could be due to an array of things: It could be something personal against him, the disconnect between fighting for black…

This is really impressive, and honestly inspiring!

Yes, so inspiring, you’re giving some local chain your money versus some big megacorp. The only difference is the scale of where you’re throwing your $.
