The only thing I don’t like about this situation is how you Rigt Wingers are going to use it to your advantage to dismiss other cases. The Republican Party and Chicago police are notorious for already not looking into hate crimes already

Also: the man endorsed by now Nazis and the KKK have already started race wars long before this situation. Even more ever since Trump won and gave these fascists a platform.

Yesterday: white nationalist arrested for wanting to continue a race war:

Just this week:
Police arrest white supremacist who planned to murder Trump’s enemies:

Keep that same energy

Why? Because he's black and gay? Does that mean he's made of wet tissue paper?

What he did was significantly worse than what Rosanne did and was much more damaging.
All true. There seems to be a reverse double standard in place these days for celebrities.

It's like:

Black = +1 immunity
Gay = +1 immunity
Woman = +1 immunity

etc....

Notice that just one immunity point will not save you, witness Kevin Spacey and Bill Cosby.

But unless I am mistaken, we have yet to see a black gay handicapped woman actress smeared by the forces of SJW culture.

This is ridiculous. Paula dean got pulled, Kathy Griffin got pulled, and Rosanne got pulled

Why isn't Jussie getting pulled from Empire? Do they think this will just blow over? He almost ignited a full on race war in this country, people will never forget this.

Guess I won't be watching that show at all anymore.

Never watched Empire anyway.

I think it's just a matter of time before he's pulled from the show. With him being in jail it would be challenging to shoot scenes.

Where do you see that? Because he's getting his well deserved lashings all over social media

Because the network are even considering keeping him on. And people are already starting to feel sorry for him.
I was even listening to Bill Burrs podcast this morning who in one breath was talking about this virtuous victim culture that is ruining stand up and in the next saying he felt sorry for Jussie and hoped he could "bounce back" from it. Likening it to trying to steal someone's pen at school... one of those silly little things you try to get away with when you are a kid.

He doesn't deserve any sympathy whatsoever, he deserves everything that's coming to him. It was premeditated and planned out. He's a big boy, you make the bed, you lie in it.

You're exaggerating and he's kicked off the show. He's getting dragged everywhere rightfully.

Not true, he has been suspended from the show not fired.

It's insane that Rosanne makes a few tweets and gets snatched from her show, but Fox is going to great lengths to keep him on it.

He's now trying to pass it off with "I have an untreated drug problem"
How does it go? Being whacked out on drugs doesn't give you a free pass for being a racist scumbag?
Especially when it's something planned out like this.

The why is really a interesting question, what drives a person to do something like that?
Attention or maybe good intentions done in the worst possible way.

Either way his career is probably over and he might even go to jail.
As if that wouldnt be bad enough, he hurt the black community more than anything.

Its already hard enough to get justice and be believed in America as a POC, now more than ever.
He made it so much harder now with this.

Its a really sad situation that did so much harm and will have long term effects.
this coming from you?? (looks at location wtf.)

It will extremely awkward and cringy seeing him appear still on the show now.
views will go down if he is. significantly.
