Jussie Smollett is nominated for an NAACP Image Award for his work on “Empire,” but it’s still unknown if he will attend the upcoming festivities on Saturday at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. Anthony Anderson, who returns as host for the sixth consecutive year, hopes the actor will make an appearance. “I hope to see him here,” the “Black-ish” star told Variety during a preview of the Awards on Wednesday morning. “I hope he wins. I’m happy for him that the system worked for him in his favor because the system isn’t always fair, especially for people of color.”

Just because he´s a "people of color" it doesn´t mean he didn´t do it.

Appropriate to give a worthless award to an equally worthless fraud.

I remember Michael Jackson, shortly after a civil matter dealing with molestation of a child, receiving the image award from the NAACP.
Or maybe I imagined it.
So, Jussie ´got over on the man´ just like Michael Jackson did, so give him an award, NAACP.

How does hoping a connected race hoaxer like Smollett get off Scott free "advance colored people"?
Seems to do the opposite.

Another example of what is wrong with the black culture!

Yeah, sure, that´s the right image---a lying race-baiting, white hating, self-promoting hoaxer that avoids criminal prosecution because he danced the jungle boogaloo with Ms. Obama.

I guess it’s just part of ‘black privilege ‘, not being responsible for your actions.

It might be helpful if certain groups quit playing to stereotype so regularly.

It´s like the NAACP is poking us in the eye, or rubbing our noses in their supposed victory over the "White" devil. They really want to turn America into a racist country, it seems.

The NAACP giving awards to ´their own´ after breaking the laws of this country tells me that they do not respect the laws we are all bound under. They have no desire to assimilate with us socially or lawfully. And then they raise holy hallelujah when one of ´their own´ gets picked up by the police for breaking a law. We should all understand that our laws are not their laws. They operate outside and aside from the ´white man´s laws´. They´re never going to learn because hey don´t want to. When you start giving awards to folks that break the law, that is like saying what they did was OK (with them).
If that is so, than I, as an old white woman nominate Charles Manson, posthumously, as man of the year. In time, if given the chance, he would have turned his life around. /s

Celebrities of all sorts; both political and social, continually commit fraud and with no consequence. We have just witnessed an attempted coup of which this was a part. It was an attempt to discredit all who support the Original American Way. It was done for personal gain by Smollett and the members of the Democrat Party. You and I could never pull this off. Neither law nor ethics apply to them.
There is no justice. I seek vengeance.

No matter what - if your are gay (or unhappy) or black or a movie star or what, if you did the crime you are going to do the time.

Honey the system always favors people of color as long as that color is green. It is never about the black and white of it.

The NAACP Image Awards are an embarrassment. How about the NAACP Substance Awards? Image is superficial and potentially misleading. Substance is fact. Substance is based on core principles of respect and dignity.
Being cool, angry, woke or hateful are all for public consumption, facades.
As such, yes indeed, who better than Jussie Smollett for an Image Award?

Irony is not a word black folks know; otherwise, NAACP image award would not exist.

Yeah, right! I hope Jussie Smollett wins that stupid award...and the next day, the US Postal Inspectors arrest him--with a very public perp walk--for the hoax death threat he sent himself through the mail.
He wouldn´t be the first idiot who got away with the crime...then got caught just because he used the US mail system.

Obama could win a Nobel Prize, CNN won an award for "journalism". Why shouldn´t Smollett win an NAACP Image Award? Liberals love to give each other awards. It seems that he more liberal and outrageous you are, the more prize-worthy you are. As a black, gay actor who sent himself threatening mail, staged his own assault, and lied about it all while professing his innocence, Smollett is exactly the image that all liberal people should aspire to be like.

NAACP is a RACIST organization! There´s no WHITEs or ASIANs in the swamp. Diversity is a scam for them to cut corners for social entitlements. So what are they good for? Contrast.
