I'm gonna laugh my ass off if this spins again and The asshole has claimed victory.

I was right.

well the two men were released with no charges.

And black men can be guilty of hate crimes.

I was right.

sure but if it had been them, the racist narrative could not continue. the homophobic aspect, however, yup

There is rampant racism within cultures. Have you ever asked a Cuban their opinion on Mexicans? Or a Puerto Rica about people from the Dominican Republic?

And no, it's not systemic, but it does exist.

I was right.

not disagreeing with you, but black on black racial hate crimes is a tough sell in this country.

The two brothers who were interrogated by police investigating the alleged attack on Jussie Smollett purchased the rope that was found around the "Empire" actor's neck, sources told ABC News Saturday.

Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo agreed to cooperate with authorities after detectives confronted them with evidence that they bought the rope -- allegedly used in an attack that Smollett described to police as laced with racial and homophobic slurs -- at a local hardware store, sources said.

Detectives have now shifted the investigation to determining whether Smollett made up the entire story, sources said.

Police: Two brothers told investigators they were paid by Jussie Smollett to stage attack
USA TODAY Aamer Madhani,USA TODAY 5 hours ago

Two Nigerian brothers told Chicago police investigators that they were paid by "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett to stage an attack on him, according to a person familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly.

The person, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation, said police are attempting to interview Smollett again, so they can question him about the brothers' account.

saw same thing on nbc. found the rope and bleach purchased at hardware store just before attack in the home of the brothers as well as a mask and script. one brother worked with smollett and he followed both on instagram. other evidence not released yet prompted police to turn investigation to smollett himself for possibly staging the whole thing.

Were there witnesses to the attack? If not, why bother with a script?
