This Jussie Smollett situation highlights why outrage culture gotta end

[greenvale]

People were jumping to conclusions immediately just to be wrong as fukk (it was obviously fake though)

This shyt gotta end it’s not good for society

 

[Pazzy]

This may mark the end of the social media actorvist, fraud, attention whore era that needs to go anyway. shyt been out of control.


The irony of it all was none of these folks were saying shyt about this when it happened. Where was the outrage for this young man when he needed support.

The assemblyman, dov, even went on record to accuse dude of pulling a hoax.

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

The scariest part was how they seemed to not really care about the situation.

As in they took the story and twisted it to fit their bullshyt narrative.

Look how they tried to shoehorn straight black men into the situation.

The entire debacle somehow became about black men up until it came out that he lied.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

Nah. Jussie will get his dragging. The only people who ask for an end to 'outrage culture' are white folks who take issue with Political Correctness.

Jussie will get his commupance. Already is, honestly.

This is pretty much my problem about the whole thing... no one really CARES about the shyt they're getting outraged about they just fetishize it for a little then move on to the next thing

Not necessarily, people are already deflecting to R. Kelly and shyt. He'll do his bid and make a comeback eventually. Also just look @ everytime people get mad that some white only thing doesnt have a black person in it. It diminishes the impact if it were for something that you should truly be outraged about

Nah I think the majority of Americans black and white are ready for it to end. Most of the things people are "outraged" about are either overblown or flat out lies. The media has straight up sacrificed their credibility in the pursuit of "outrage". Men and women's relationships are suffering all in the name of the latest "hot take", birth rates are down and children are suffering.

The fact that you think this culture is good and sustainable shows a fundamental lack of understanding the message behind "the boy who cried wolf".

 

[George's Dilemma]

A major part of the problem is the way the mainstream media treats social media as a solid indicator of what the general consensus is of people in general. You can have 20 people on Twitter "outraged" over some unfounded allegation. Meanwhile thousands upon thousands of other people are more level headed about a matter and want to wait until more information comes out before forming and stating an opinion. The mainstream media though will run the story with a false narrative of most people being outraged instead of just the 20. It's kind of like on here when someone posts a thread titled, "they're mad at" or "they're coming for", etc.. Meanwhile it was one random twitter user with two likes they're using as the basis for their thread.

Thanks Jussie.

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter is weighing in on the Jussie Smollett case after the "Empire" actor was arrested Thursday over allegations he falsely claimed that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack.

“Alright, this particular hate crime turned out to be a hoax, but let's remember, ALL OF THEM are hoaxes. #Smollett,” Coulter tweeted Thursday.

Chicago police said Thursday they believe Smollett paid two men to stage an attack on him in an effort to boost his salary on “Empire.” The actor initially told police that his assailants shouted “This is MAGA country” and racist and homophobic slurs during the attack.


He was charged a day earlier with felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report. He could face one to three years in prison.

President Trump also criticized Smollett after his arrest, tweeting Thursday, “.@JussieSmollett — what about MAGA and the tens of millions of people you insulted with your racist and dangerous comments!? #MAGA.”

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said the actor “took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career.”

“This publicity stunt was a scar that Chicago didn’t earn and certainly didn’t deserve,” he added.

you're right it's really the media

 

[re'up]

People should evaluate things more carefully, in all situations, before commenting, but this ONE INSTANCE of a faked racial/homophobic attack doesn't mean that this is common or the norm. That's what racists, those kinds of white people will use it for. "Oh I knew it was fake, these people are all out to promote themselves". Basically, you can NEVER be outraged or angry, because maybe it's fake, which is essentially subduing righteous anger and outrage, which is dangerous.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

this one instance of an opportunists doesn't invalidate the actual shyt that effects and fukks with marginalized people

Thanks Jussie.

It’s pretty common man, not on this scale but people get outraged about lame shyt like a crew team not having a black person or some celeb not dating black ppl all the time.

We both agree that people should think and evaluate clearly.

There's a line between extremism, insanity, and righteous anger, but in general, I think many of the issues are valid, to one degree or another. It's not "outrage culture" to point out racial inequalities.

White people need to stop it. All the white women and men who have blamed and lied on Black men and women since day one in America is nothing compared to Jussie.
