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.

Above the fray.
Chicago Police Dept. held a news conference to say "HE DID IT"

I noted at the time how weird it was to hear that and not "alleged" "suspect", and said that the news conference may give JS's lawyer an out.

But, how are the cops saying he did it, but this panel is still walking around on eggshells about the story?

They don't represent every gay person, and are just speaking for themselves but they have to understand the power of media platforms . Your ability to be a champion for your group is based on your credibility. If you won't own up to what looks like a staged publicity stunt by a member of your group, you no longer have any credibility.

For those of you who do the social media thing, throw that at the ones from that community who won't admit that JS appears to be a fraud.

The one lady mentioned the "check wasn't for the plot,it was for personal training" angle so this was filmed after the CPD news conference.
