Just because one liar tried to get personal gain from setting up a scene pertaining to the injustices to his race don't make all the real injustices OK. The things that allegedly happened to Smollett do happen to people every day; this is why the so called "genesis" were so quick to stand behind him, they were also victims of Smollett's crime.

It usually is about personal gain - sometimes small, sometimes large.

You're right, it shouldn't. However, people like Smollett and other big news false accusations diminish the impact of the accusation. We move closer and closer to doubting such accusations. Meanwhile, many of those who were "quick" to stand by him are in turn thought of as virtual signaling and trying to find that major event to fit their examples of the narratives they push. All too often these events are turned into a "see, this is a common place occurrence, when in fact they are not.

I've seen far too many false accusations of racial biases in my lifetime.

As far as I'm concerned Smollett is a idiot who deserves some jail time. BUT THE FLIPSIDE IS; the racial hate spread by Trump and the GOP is what made this fiasco so easily believed.
