They can’t be white though, which is what Smollett claimed. Well, Governor Northam might have some ideas about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 More odd stuff: Smollett follows about 600 people on Instagram, and the one of the two brothers Insta account is one of those 600 accounts he follows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentWorld Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Yet another twist... Edit: Theory I read on reddit, which I guess makes sense, is that the two Nigerians flipped on Smollett and were therefore released, and now the cops are building a case against Smollett.

Turns out it was aspirin, but it indicates a level of harassment that the public wasn't aware of. Maybe THIS is enough for some folks to give the dude the benefit of the doubt and ask themselves why they were so skeptical of this story from the beginning, myself included.

Keyser_Soze Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Black 6th grader was arrested for refusing to stand for pledge of allegiance and calling the flag racist https://www.essence.com/news/black-6th-grader-arrested-stand-pledge-of-allegiance-flag-racist/ Quote The Lawton Chiles Middle Academy student was taken to a juvenile detention center, and charged with disrupting a school function and resisting arrest without violence, Bay News9 reports. He was also suspended from the school for three days. The incident began when the boy was asked by a substitute teacher to stand during the pledge, and he refused. His reasons were that the flag was racist and the national anthem was offensive to Black people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I remember being an edgy teen during the Iraq War and sitting for the pledge. I also went full RedSoxFan and had a Che sticker in my locker like a fucking shithead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part of sitting for the pledge is seeing people freak out about the fact that you're sitting for the pledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't remember getting much grief about it; a couple stares and a 'tsk tsk' from a teacher, but nothing particularly crazy. Even though it was a Catholic high school, as long as you were in dress code and didn't violate academic probation (i.e. go to an after-school program if you had a C or lower in a class), the administration basically left you alone.

The first time I did it, there was a visible panic on the part of the teachers that seemed to be in the vein of "what do you do in this situation? We have no idea because we've never had to deal with this before." It stopped being a huge deal after that first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 You probably would have gotten the shit kicked out of you if you didn't stand at my high school.

Commodore D Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Haven't stood for the pledge since like third grade. It was never an issue. I did have one teacher ask me, to which I responded something like "it doesn't represent me." To which he shrugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he faked this, which it looks like he did, his support is gonna dry up pretty quickly... the memes have already started to appear on Black Twitter and social media. Dude's career is pretty much done. If I was him I'd say I have a substance abuse problem which caused me to make this story up and then disappear for a year or two. Then resurface with a reality TV show deal. Don't say it can't happen, because it more than likely will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
