Bonk. You think the Empire tv series was the movie The Empire Strikes
Back? He wasn't even born yet!

Why is everybody determined to discuss this fuckhead's lies to
authorities in threads with Subjects that are themselves wrong? That
other lengthy thread proclaims Smollett Jewish.

I have a brilliant suggestion to everybody on Usenet criticizing a real
life celebrity for lying: Get your own facts straight.

Following up to myself to repeat what I'd written in the other thread:
Smollett's father was Jewish but his mother was not. In a mixed marriage,
most Jewish denominations consider that the mother passes along her
religion to the child. In Reform Judaism, in a mixed marriage, the child
would have to be raised Jewish to be considered Jewish. Smollet himself
graduated from a Catholic high school. Therefore, no one would conclude
he's Jewish from being raised in a mixed marriage. Of all the crap written
about Smollett, he's never claimed to have been raised Jewish.

I think Rich mistakenly believes that Smollett is the one who played the
young Lando Calrissian in the recent SOLO movie. He wasn't.

Oh. I didn't see that movie. Rich thinks Donald Glover and Jussie
Smollett are the same person? That's amazingly insulting, given that
Glover is extremely talented and Smollett should never work in this town
again.

Solo got trashed pretty good but I liked it. I thought it was one of the
more entertaining star wars movies since the original trilogy.

I had no idea who Smollett was before reading about this supposed attack and
agree with you on Glover. I looked up pics side by side there is a bit of
resemblance when both have a beard. Definitely not twins tho.

I'm guessing the cops leveraged the two Nigerians they arrested in this case
and, since they released them, they likely flipped on Smollett
orchestrating this hoax.

I'm a little confused. In one of Ubi's numerous instances of copyright
infringement in these several Smollett threads, I was reading the tweets
of the ABC 7 Chicago WLS-TV reporter (spacing out on which one) who said
that police had figured out that the two men across the street were
extra on the Empire set. They hadn't identified them at the time.

I'm not looking for that blog post but here's the latest version of the
story:

Police: 2 persons of interest released in Jussie Smollett case confirmed
to have been on scene; police investigating if attack staged, sources
say
2/16/2019 11:46 am
WLS-TV Chicago Eyewitness News
https://abc7.com/police-2-persons-of-interest-in-jussie-smollett-case-released-without-charges/5141900/

It makes zero sense that they were arrested Wednesday AS THE ATTACKERS as
police apparently never believed they were, then released without charges
Thursday. They're still persons of interest; I guess police don't feel
they've given complete statements yet.

How could Smollett have put them up to whatever it was if they're
Nigerian? If Smollett lied about the attack, the attack itself was never
staged for security cameras as Smollett went off camera during the
period of the attack. If Smollett had wanted to stage the attack on
security camera, he'd have needed two white actors.

There was an earlier report that cops had raided the home of the two
Nigerians, so it appears that cops were investigating the two of them
for bringing props to the scene. It sounds like, despite what the police
spokesman was telling the media that Smollett was still being treated
like the victim, cops had come to believe they were investigating a hoax
at least since the middle of the week.

I did, too. I thought it was a decent action flick. Much better than

You have to consider the source. It's mime who's claiming he's a Jew.

From what I read, those two Nigerian brothers are the same guys who the
cops released fuzzy video stills of as "persons of interest". They were
able to trace their movements via other cameras in the area and that's how
they found them.

Smollett didn't them up at all. They're black and Smollett claims his
attackers were white. They were aso acquaintances of Smollett and had
appeared as extras on Empire

Since the cops arrested them then released them after saying their
interrogation led to "new evidence", I was only guessing they gave Smollett
up. I bet he orchestrating the whole lie but again, that's just my guess.
Of course in this age of fake news, who the hell knows? lol

No dumbass you have it backwards and must have missed the links to two Jewish newspapers in Israel that claim Smollett is a Jew. Kerman says he ain't and I pointed out Smollett's pedigree is the same as Michael Douglas' who received the Jewish Nobel Prize of 1 million dollars in Israel for being a Jew.

I don't recall Kerman disputing Douglas' right to the Genesis Award because Douglas wasn't Jewish, do you? Kerman is disputing Smollett's Jewishness because the Empire actor is going to shame the tribe when the truth comes out.

Here are the links you missed:

Not that they all do, but they do to a greater extent than whites. Blacks; Black hair, brown eyes, unless they have a lot of white in them. Whites; black hair, brown hair, blond hair, red hair. Eyes; blue, green, brown, hazel. Whites ARE easier to tell apart than blacks.

Anyone remember Andy Robinson in "Dirty Harry" arranging his own beating (paid a guy to beat him up) to frame Harry Callahan? He really got beat well by the black guy he hired. Callahan said, "Anyone can tell I didn't do that." "Why?" (said his boss). "Because he looks too damn good!"

What's your pont? It's common knowledge that the Vulcan live long and
prosper greeting (the one with the gap between 3rd and 4th fingers)
originated when Nimoy was horsing around with it between shoots and
Gene Roddenbury decided he needed a 'Vulcan salute' which caused Nimoy
to laugh hysterically saying it was a common blessing in the Eastern
European Jewish communities and that he had been taught it by his
grandfather.
