Jussie Smollett was WRONG but we weren’t necessarily wrong to believe him. And you are always right to ask questions- questions don’t mean you don’t believe someone, don’t get it twisted. When the #jussiesmollett story came out, I posted about how horrible it was that that had "happened" to him. My heart, as a human, immediately broke from someone who had to endure something so horrific based on his color and sexual orientation. I'm not sorry I posted nor am I sorry I believed him. I believe in believing victims. While his lying is abhorrent, selfish and detrimental to a cause, it also doesn't mean that because this one sick person lied that the material he used for the lies is a fabrication. He didn't create those hate crimes in a vacuum, these things happen everyday to people of color and LGBTQ people. Hateful people would love to point to him as the one example that proves their point, as if one person lying means no one else has ever told the truth. As if one woman making up a rape story means that rape isn't happening every second. As if entire communities shouting "please stop killing us, hurting us, for being us" is all a hoax. The same people who seek to disqualify the oppressive experience of POC and LGBTQ based on Jussie's one selfish and stupid lie are the same people who, every time we have a white male shooter, say "oh, he's just troubled.” People, in proving their own agenda, will always look for the one small thing that negates an epidemic. #jussiesmollett in his lies was an outlier but it shouldn't be an excuse to discount real people's pain. Don't let the actions of one person derail you from believing the real people hurting.
