's claim he was the victim of a racist-homophobic attack, but the leaders of Black Lives Matter certainly do ... and the org. is sticking by the actor.
BLM and BLM LA released a statement before the verdict, in support of the"Empire" actor, saying ..."So let’s be clear: we love everybody in our community ... we can never believe police, especially the CPD over Jussie Smollett, a Black man who has been courageously present, visible, and vocal in the struggle for Black freedom."tells us that stance hasn't changed -- Jussie has their full support.
They need to drop his ass
The whole world is lying¿ What is happening to all these adults with the untruth? AttentionSeekers
Double down when you’re too embarrassed to admit you’re wrong.
Gross
I sure hate that someone is speaking for the whole organization. Because this isn't the feeling of everyone that supports BLM. Although I understand what they're tryna say. If you have a brother that made such a stupid choice to lie, u wouldn't just write them off/ 🛑 loving them
Empire star who set up a hate crime should get the max. He scared the public with his accusations. He did it for what. It was a hate crime and should be punished.
And as soon as he smells jail time he will run and disappear somewhere
BLM is no different than black mayors in cities like Chicago and DC, never speak on black on black crime publicly and only speak up if it’s a white cop and black victim to get re-elected.
Well that’s not gonna help🙄
That is stupid ! I would never back someone up if they are in the wrong !!
Of course they love drama and creating racist bullshit
And this is why black lives don’t matter. The majority of black people worldwide (including places they have not been enslaved) are uneducated and make stupid decisions because of it. Compare that to any other group of color.
It was a proven lie I guess blm backs liers saids a lot about there organization that they back a racist lier
🤡🤡🤡
Smfh
That’s unfortunate, they should stand up for what is right
Black Lives Matter just lost more of its credibility thus giving republicans more ammoo
They can stand with him in prison too…🤦🏽♀️
Of course they are
Good luck enabling criminal celebrities for clout
It’s not believing police it’s believing two black men that he paid.
Where are 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ ⚧? They were all over Twitter saying we need to support him when he first told his story. In fact, they were attacking people who were questioning his ridiculous story. Where are they now?
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Oh no.. here we go.
In today’s America 🇺🇸 Your not WRONG if you are Black ✊🏿
Standing with people inciting Hate Crimes sounds right to me.
LMFAO
Of course they are. Anyone with a working brain cell can see what this organisation is about.
Let's not forget how a white woman lied to the police that she had being attacked by a black man but nothing happened to her. Make that makes sense.
People act like what Jussie Smollett did was a crime. Yet I remember white people got away with so many lies everyday when they called the police on black people in the park when black people was minding their own business.
Of course they are. They also endorse rioting and looting
So they DON'T believe the black men that claim he paid them to stage the attack? Great lesson on how to destroy your credibility.
Donation checks don’t have feelings, TMZ.. that real estate in Malibu isn’t going to pay for itself!
This kind of nonsense is the reason BLM is turning into a joke and losing support all around the world. They need to start calling out Black ppl that do things to hurt the BLM movement and not just continue to support them only bc they are Black. The movement is now a clown show!
Shows how far they will go, how delusional they are and that they don’t care about fabricating a race war as long as they get their money, 🤡 show of an organization.
As a raging liberal & someone supports blm this is idiotic
Police lie to us all the time. Git over it! It's not like he murdered 2 people and got off.
Of course they are, they all live in a fantasy made up wold where they NEED to be the victim to feel important. They are delusional and need to ground themselves…
Please no.
So sad
I have always followed and supported BLM. This seems irresponsible. I’m sure it doesn’t matter to them what I think. But I am very disappointed. I’ve been in many situations where I’ve debated vigorously for their cause. I have to t shirts hats etc. probably even lost a friend.
THEY'RE STANDING BY HIM! JUST LIKE I'AM! BECAUSE WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HE'S NOT GUILTY! just because some BOUGHT & PAID FOR JURY said he was guilty DOESN'T MEAN HE IS! yes indeed THERE WAS AN ORCHESTRATED HOAX! by Religious, Conservative, Hateful, Homophobes AGAINST JUSSIE!
Criminals stick together, oh and cowards stick together as well.
Seems to me this article was more for white supremacists to not feel so bad for supporting the Jan 6th Capitol insurrection than anything else. But let's be clear, while Jussie fabricated a story and made a false claim that was hard to believe from jump, he didn't incite a riot.
Well Black Lives Matters LA needs to check themselves it sends the wrong message to kids
I was Juss kidding!!
Why don't they do something about all of the murders in Chicago? Do they support the victims? Where are the BLM for them? Support one, support all!!!!!!
Of course they are
No one tells the police the truth lol
Says alot about BLMLA
OMG they're behaving like Republicans
Duh. Since when is the truth their priority?
😂🤣😂🤣
Of course they are….in reality this is a black on black crime The foo lied and got caught and the other guys told the truth.
😂🤣🤣😂 what a joke
Fuck lol 😂 the double standards are alive lol
This supporter of BLM doesn’t stand by this messy mess. We all knew when this happened it seemed fake. Jussie should have paid his fine up front and let it simmer. I honestly forgot about this foolishness. Jussie go get a regular job. Everyone is hiring.
Of course they are , both are scam artists
Who cares!
That’s the Problem Right There. Sad
This is not for straight black men. We support neither.
Huh?
Smollett is guilty! Now, if only the Justice System could find Trump guilty of all of his crimes as fast as it did Smollett!
Another problem for the group if credibility is a must. Jussie lost the battle when it comes to credibility.
Who cares, dude lied and people support him. Trump lied for 4 years and people still support him. Just like Clinton lies. Ya’ll take this shit too personal
Kinda proves what they are truly about….. pretty telling
Of course they are…they fabricate issues to just go around destroying property in cities around the country
Yall just let him crawl away in embarrassment and go away
They need a name change of the organization to dissociate the groups illegitimate connection to actual blackness
The blind leading the blind
BLM is standing by him because of his colour? Seriously? Where is Crump, Sharpton and Jackson? This guy committed a crime and was found guilty. He is a liar. Shame ln you.
Sounds like a cult
They need to March to Washington DC with Al Sharpton if they care that much.
Shameful
TRUMPiCANS 🇺🇸
BLM IS FOR BLACKS ONLY They beat up Asians and hate whites !
Why isn’t BLM standing up for the Nigerian brothers who Smollett turned on? Their lives matter too
🤣🤣
Black Lives Matter has to be one of the worst run organizations
Love BLM. Looting is black reparations
This is not how to garnish public support for your organization. Smolder blatantly lied under oath and was found guilty. Just because this tactic has worked for Trump doesn’t mean it is to be acceptable behavior.
Really?
BLM showing their true colors.
BLM supports racially motivated hate crimes.
“Standing with him?” What does that even mean, TMZ? He was found guilty and now he’s awaiting sentencing. There’s nothing to stand with him on.
Another example of why their membership is dropping. People eventually gravitate to 'common sense'.
For both the WS that use BLM as a code word for ALL BLK ppl and the Liberal media (TMZ) that uses BLM as cover for their agenda, BLM the org is IN NO WAY representative of the interests of BLK society. TMZ as usual publishes more deep-fried synthetic news.
LGB
Is anyone surprised?! Lol! Those people are ridiculous.
So who is standing with the Nigerian brothers who are also black? BLM probably knows Jussie is guilt but does not want to admit they’re wrong for believing his story.
