This story is a great example of how extreme the divide is at this time in the US.
This guy, a B list actor at best, who is gay and black, was attacked in Chicago by 2 white men in MAGA hats.
The actor was out alone walking to a Subway at 2am in 10 degree weather. Two 2 men see him, recognize him, yell at him, give him a scrape on his face, put a noose around his neck and pour bleach on him and run off. They don’t rob him and they happened to have a noose and bleach in hand.
First off - Subway? The food place? Most wouldn’t walk across the kitchen for Subway.
Second - if 2 men are walking through the city at 2am WITH a rope noose and a gallon jug of bleach in hand, they must have a very specific mission. Wandering around a city at night hoping to find a black person out alone to jump?
Third - They barely beat him up. He walked back to his apartment no problem. He had a small scratch on his face. They put a noose around his neck, not even tight and bleach, what does that do? Ruin his jacket maybe? They don’t take his wallet, watch, shoes, jacket?? That’s really lame.
Anyway, when it hit the news it blew up. It was presented as a Trump fueled attack.
The MAGA hats + white men + noose = white supremacy
There was way too much coverage on it. The left absolutely still talks about Trump like he’s still in office. They blame everything on his administration. Any white person that does anything racial is instantly a white supremacist Trump lover. It’s so ridiculous.
From the very beginning the Chicago police doubted his story. He was uncooperative and he refused to give up his phone. People began commenting about the story not adding up. Anyone with ears and a 11th grade education could see the holes. Well Hollywood blew up about it. Anyone that questioned the validity of his story was instantly a racist and a Trump loving Republican. Talk shows covered it, celebrities tweeted about it, CNN’s Don Lemon became the actors BFF and gave him inside info.
When it finally was proven that he LIED about the whole thing, he planned it, bought the noose and bleach and hired 2 men from NIGERIA to “attack” him, no one said shit. Not one person that had adamantly spoke out in defense of him said shit. Not one person had the integrity or balls to tweet or speak up and acknowledge the hoax.
Why anyone would think that staging a racial attack to push some false agenda that white people are racist is RACIST.
