Racism is alive and well, Thanks Trump and his supporters!

What is the latest, from those who pay attention to Chicago crime, and anyone who cares about the alleged 'attack' in this case.

Stories change, seems, and yet another tale with new quotes, and different time lines, etc. was presented on Good Morning America, trying to keep this particular story alive, seems.

Police said phone access they received was not helpful much. The pics taken of two unknown fuzzy subjects on a sidewalk were taken around the area of the reported attack, however the time stamp reads at least 30 minutes prior to the complaint about an attack.

There are before and after security cams, as to the reporting person having a white rope adorning his neck and shoulders, with a one minute gap between the pics. The times noted, and the location of the security cams, fits none of the report times or locations, close as Police can determine.

FBI and a dozen Chicago Police Detectives have been working the case since it was reported... with little known as to facts, so far.

Athos will know the truth, am certain... please enlighten us all...

Police Investigating Attack on Jussie Smollett as Possible Hate Crime

Sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ, the actor arrived in Chicago from New York late Monday, and at around 2 AM he was hungry and went to a Subway. We’re told when he walked out, someone yelled, “Aren’t you that f***ot ‘Empire’ n*****?”

The 2 men — both white and wearing ski masks — viciously attacked Jussie as he fought back, but they beat him badly and fractured a rib. They put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him and as they left they yelled, “This is MAGA country.”

And yet, who you blame doesn't.  I guess that consistency makes you better than them, somehow?

People aren't "Criminals" based soley on the color of their skin.  There's plenty of white collar crime you seem to stay all right with, but if the poor darkies have no legal income, you're the first to condempt them.  Crime is not a color.

Thank you for staying the best example of racism being alive, and well, in Trump's Supporters.

I had to coin a new word for the combination of condemnation, and contempt.

I don't see a credible, verifible source linked to back any of this up.

Hope ABC News meets the KB Standard for legitimate news reporting.

Stay tuned.

Anyone actually living near or following Chicago News at KB?

Would be helpful to have some local input in real time, that is legitimate as well.

Local Chicago reporting indicates some untold prior details...

Chicago police question actor Jussie Smollett and 2 'persons of interest,' including man who appeared on 'Empire'

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi emphasized that the two “are not considered suspects at this time.”

He later characterized as “unconfirmed” a report by WLS-Ch. 7 that the two men had staged the attack with Smollett who, the station said, feared he was being written off “Empire.”

“Media reports (about) the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives,” Guglielmi tweeted Thursday evening. “Supt Eddie Johnson has contacted @ABC7Chicago to state on the record that we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate.”

For someone spouting MAGA constantly you should be celebrating the beating of a gay black man.

Unless you are willing to denounce that racist mantra, of course.

Thanks for the update... seems much more to be learned about this Fake News Story.. more than Fake, created Hate Speech for Political reasons... or mental health call for help? A bit of both, seems... Am sure you will keep us up to date.

  Make America Great Again, and Keep America Great are President Trump's election campaign slogans, and are not racist in any manner.

  What you and your ilk attribute in your hatred of our President is beyond me.

 Make America Great Again, and Keep America Great are President Trump's election campaign slogans, and are not racist in any manner.

And yet, you define "Great" by how white people are.  You ignore the fact that what made America "Great" was accepting people, from all over the world, and making us citizens.  (Not to mention fighting Nazis, instead of tolerating them)

Also, MAGA is, and always was an insult to America.  It explicitely states that America wasn't great under a "Kenyan" president, and he can do better.  He's not doing better.  He's ruining it.

We were keeping America great, just fine, until you elected a racist swindler to Break it.

Actually as his base interprets it, it is racist.  It’s even beyond what Psi mentions that we’re somehow ‘great again’ because a black man is no longer president.  The ‘again’ part implies there was this hypothetical time in the past the country was great, presumably perhaps the 1950s prior to civil rights and when women were only expected to be part of the workforce to find a husband, then quit to raise a family.

I will agree there was something about the 1950s that was great and requires serious reconsideration.  The wealthy were taxed at a 90% rate.

Excuse me, and as I recall, I have not characterized the President's Election Campaign Slogan(s) at all. Others have, often those who are not supporters of our President for their own reasons, or who are unwilling to accept that the President was elected, the way all Presidents are elected, by winning the larger number of Electoral College Delegates and Votes, in November 2016.

What others, for their own purposes, not in support of the President, wish to attribute as meaning(s) to Election Slogans is not under my control, and I take no responsibility for you or others upsetting yourselves in this regard.

Jed_, you seem to be very accomplished at understanding, and spreading your views, about a Election Campaign Slogan used by the President in the 2016 election campaign, successfully of course, and a new Campaign Slogan being tested for the 2020 Election Campaign.

Your ability is remarkable, and you must treasure your ability, and I like your skill so much, I wish you would make yourself available to assist GOP Senators and Congresspersons, who seem largely unable to communicate so effectively, year after year, as you believe their communication is very clear.

It is not too late to sign on to the 2020 Campaign, and put your ability to use. We may all benefit from your ability to interpret so clearly vague slogans, and to turn such understanding into Votes!

Please consider this seriously. Sarah Sanders and others can use your support.

Well at least "The Donald" will be only a one term president.
The only problem for the next president is that he / she will be spending the next four years repairing what "The "Donald" did to this country and to our allies in general.
The next president will have a huge job ahead of him / her.
Lets face it "The Donald" set this country back at least 60 years for minority people.

Love,
Liz
