 ‘I feel like he fucked up Black History Month, bro. I’m not gonna say… yet. Until he says out his mouth that it was fake and this shit was staged. I don’t wanna completely blame him.’ She said.

Background:

Jussie Smollett who is known for his role as “Jamal” in hit TV series, Empire, was reported to have suffered a homophobic attack from unknown white persons who acted as Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again supporters.

The actor self-transported himself to a hospital as he was beaten with bleach poured on him during the attack. News of the brutality the actor suffered went viral attracting sympathizers from the African-American community and anti-trump supporters.
