If I was a USA black gay I would buy a gun.

I would kill ANYONE who would say F or N word because both are hate word and hate is calling for violence. I would feel unsecure. If you feel unsecure you need to protect yourself. Gun is for protection by a US law.

Being a black gay from the US I can't even tell you how bad that sounds. We literally get killed while being completely unarmed. The US law doesn't protect everyone.

That's horrible. I just hope he's ok. 

Racists have been emboldened these past couple of years. Its disgusting and frightening. I worry even more now about family, friends, and myself when out and about.

I can't even coprehend what it must feel like.

The US law protects the money, the same as every law works.

Really hoping he recovers quickly, I admire him so much. He was the reason I started watching Empire. 

I don't understand pineapples, so I don't eat bananas.

Some feel we have progressed, but true progression does not exist just yet. We have to remain careful and be diligent. Most importantly we have to be here for each other ❤️ These times are scary (not even just here in the US where we are the divided state, but worldwide.

“Empire” star Jussie Smollett was hospitalized early Tuesday following an assault in Chicago in what is described as a possible hate crime, Variety has confirmed.

According to a statement released by the Chicago Police Department, Smollett was beaten by two men who approached him by yelling out “racial and homophobic slurs” at approximately 2 a.m. Tuesday morning in the 300 block of E. North Water Street. They proceeded to assault Smollett and “poured an unknown chemical substance” on him.

The two men are also said to have put a rope around Smollett’s neck before fleeing on foot. Smollett then transported himself to an area hospital and is described as being in “good condition.”

Jussie Smollett—the actor and singer best known for his role as Jamal Lyon on the TV series “Empire”—was reportedly hospitalized in Chicago early this morning after two men attacked him in what was an apparent hate crime, according to TMZ and Entertainment Tonight. Smollett was allegedly walking outside when two masked men began to call him homophobic and racist slurs and attack him. TMZ reports that the attackers put a noose around Smollett’s neck, poured bleach on him, and yelled “This is MAGA country” before leaving the scene. (The Chicago Police Department has since issued a statement to the Daily Beast regarding the “MAGA country” comment: “There is no report of that being said.”)

Smollett was released from the hospital this morning, according to TMZ. He reportedly suffered from a fractured rib. According to a police statement given to ET, the Chicago Police Department is “taking this investigation very seriously and treating it as a possible hate crime.” Find a statement from CPD below. Pitchfork has reached out to the CPD for more information.

Die-hard MAGA people have proven time and time again that they're literally just ignorant racist pieces of scheisse, so I'm not surprised. 

But like, in Chicago? Like, that was unexpected af

It sounds like he's doing well now so I'm hoping for a speedy recovery! Hopefully this doesn't interfere with his career

If the president has any decency at all, he would use his favorite thing in the world (Twitter) to denounce this kind of behavior.
