    I realize you're a guy who tends to get stuck in the past...but a Milli Vanilli joke? C'mon man.

    On the racist & homophobic aspect of his actions , makes me think he should be charged with a hate crime. Hate was the basis for his actions.

    What makes this really bad?

    The lies

    Inciting hate based on race

    Or both?

    IMO: all of it especially lying to incite hate based on race

    This whole thing has been the perfect example of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and people alleging/fabricating charges of "racism" where they simply don't exist.

    There's also, possibly, some thinly-veiled bias against non-American, immigrant blacks in enlisting them as henchmen. Also the extent to which prominent blacks and allies kind of got corralled into supporting him, but particularly any close friends and that fine-ass sister of his.

    I condemn all violence commited toward Smolllet in this very real example of a hate crime.

    McWhorter argues around 6:00 that the Smollette case is a sign that "things have gotten better" as regards "racism and homophobia" in this country
