No, thankfully not...but if ever that would have happened.
I'm pretty confident that whatever feeling I felt, the race of the rapist would have no bearing whatsoever on how I felt. I wouldn't even ask or care to know. It's completely irrelevant and should be.
Replace the Juusie Smollet by Travor Martin if you want (who coincidentally enough, is the anniversary of his 24th birthday today).
But hey, maybe if Liam Neeson had come out with this story before George Zimmerman decided to gun down a kid because he "looked" threatening, he'd still be alive today.
bolded: Agreed completely. Same here!
I brought up the Smollett story specifically because it's an example of a story being preyed upon by media vultures for $. They don't care about truth, they care that people are enraged so they keep clicking/watching/buying. They generate anger and use it to push through laws and loopholes that f*** all the little people regardless of color.
As for the Trayvon/George Z story, won't delve into that one as it's got it's own details and depth that will definitely take the thread off course. I've never said there aren't examples of black people getting unfairly hurt or killed due to prejudice, they surely do happen and any amount is too much, of course. There are also many cases of shitty cops just being shitty cops. Look at the Daniel Shaver killing. It had nothing to do with race whatsoever, but if fate had seen it to make Shaver black rather than white, I could only imagine the amount of spin that would have got put on it being a racially based slaughter.
