Well, this was in Chicago so it's unlikely that the racial motive will get dismissed. Overt racism (as opposed to institutional) doesn't really fly up here.

I'm really finding it hard to swallow that two racist homophobes who were stalking Chicagi to commit a pre-meditated hate crime were able to identify an actor from Empire...

Even I don't know who he is. If they were specifically targeting him and put on an act to make it seem random that would make a lot more sense.

Also, reading the account:

quote:

According to the TMZ report, “Sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ, the actor arrived in Chicago from New York late Monday, and at around 2 AM he was hungry and went to a Subway. We’re told when he walked out, someone yelled, ‘Aren’t you that f***ot ‘Empire’ n*****?'”

The reports states that both the men were white and wearing ski masks and attacked the actor. “Jussie as he fought back, but they beat him badly and fractured a rib. They put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him and as they left they yelled, ‘This is MAGA country,'” TMZ reported.

Who always carries ski masks around in case they run into a person they want to gay bash? It's all really strange. And just to avoid confusion, I don't doubt for a second that this attack didn't happen. But this can't be the whole story. Where they stalking him or something?

It’s also been super cold in Chicago lately so maybe the ski masks might have served a dual purpose here, i.e. keeping the face you want to conceal nice and warm while you commit a horrific hate crime

I know when I want to commit a violent crime against a vulnerable minority, I travel to a place with a reputation for being heavily armed and incredibly violent.

I'm from the west coast but I'd imagine that people in Chicago in the middle of winter are going to wear ski masks because it's loving cold.

Just cruising Chicago with Cletus, packing bleach and a noose just in case we stumble upon a gay icon. Cletus has an encyclopedic knowledge of gay PoC b listers, you know, for normal reasons.

Oh, I forgot about that. That could be an explanation.

I hope they get these people. What kind of extra horrible racist do you have to be to put a noose around a guy's neck? Did they get off of simulating the lynching of a black man?

Somethings fishy. Either premeditated(loan shark or something similar) with red herring or... devils advocate self inflicted/assisted for exposure.

You want me to defend a “devils advocate” comment? Ok.

When was the last time you heard of a dude being lynched in a major city without it being the police?

So with 100% conviction I came to the conclusion it was the police.

“You’re kidding right?” ought to be followed up with more than just a single instance of something happening in 11 years. At least throw in the census worker who did the suicide where he wrote “die fed” on his chest and hanged himself from a tree.
