Lol @ people still not realizing (or refusing to acknowledge or accept) why people pull stunts like Jussie did.
Day one of the lie made him the most famous person in America. Of course that fame later turned to infamy but if he wasn't so sloppy he'd be at the forefront of the LGBT movement and racking up television appearances left and right. If the acting thing continued to trail off, he could've started a foundation for hate crime awareness and collected millions.
The lady who accused Kavanaugh, "why would she lie? It took courage to do what she did" then you find out she collected a million in her go fund me.
Cosby accusers, "why would they lie, it was so many of them" then you find out the class action civil suit was being fired up before he was even convicted.
These people have zero understanding of human nature. They have an idealized "good vs evil" narrative driven into their head and reinforced by tv and social media where the groups they support are inherently "good" and anyone who doesn't agree with every single issue they stand for is "evil". No nuances, no in between.
That's why black men keep getting caught in the crossfire. Our natural instincts toward independence, our ability to control our emotions and rationally look at situations, and resistance (not immunity) to peer pressure means we can be anywhere on that "good vs evil" spectrum depending on the issue and we cant be shamed into abandoning our position wholesale.
