Where is the outrage?  This week on Behind the Blue Curtain we’ll talk about the fabricated report of a racist attack that Jussie Smollett filed in Chicago in which he claimed he was attacked by men in MAGA hats carrying bleach while placing a noose around his neck.  Kudos to the Chicago Police Department for thoroughly investigating this incident, bringing the truth out and filing charges against Jussie.  Where is the outcry that would most certainly have come had it been a white man or woman claiming that black people assaulted them?   Where are the  LGBTQ organizations on this issue?  Why are we not hearing from them?   The call-in number is 646-716-4621,  press 1 if you’d like to join the conversation.

Justin "Jussie" Smollett, born June 21, 1982), began his career as a child actor in 1987 starring in commercials and films, including The Mighty Ducks (1992) and Rob Reiner's North (1994). In 2015, Smollett attracted attention and received a highly positive critical reception for his portrayal of musician Jamal Lyon in the Fox drama series Empire (2015). Smollett has also appeared in Ridley Scott's science fiction film Alien: Covenant (2017) as Ricks and in Marshall (2017) as Langston Hughes.

On February 20, 2019, Smollett was indicted for disorderly conduct for allegedly staging a hate crime assault on himself and filing a false police report. Police alleged that he intended to further his career by tying the incident to racism and homophobia in the United States, President Donald Trump, and the existing rise of hate crimes in recent years in the United States. His role was thereafter removed from the last two then-unaired episodes of Empire's fifth season
