Following the sentencing, Kim Foxx released an op-ed in the Chicago Sun-Times blasting the decision to give Smollett jail time. In it, she claimed Black women-elected prosecutors face a “mob mentality” and defended her office’s decision to drop the original charges.
She is terrible. The gist of her op-ed is that Smolett has no history of violence and the case should have been dropped but was prosecuted by feds as part of a nationwide crusade against black female prosecutors.
What a load of crap (in regard to this case).
There is no world where his actions should be ‘dismissed’.

you need to acknowledge that while one can show examples of 'racist statements' made by black people, racism against blacks people is in a whole other league.
For some reason it bothers me that you don't think I know that so I will acknowledge it with a disclaimer that I think race relations have improved more in the last four decades than I think that you think they have.

3 years
Can't imagine it bothered you all that much.
Such a weird story... And if you think race relations haven't gone into the toilet since Trump took office I don't know what to tell you. Hell electing him was partially the rural white people freaking out because we had a black president. The horror... Who wasn't even from this country!
Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff.
