Maybe we’ve been approaching this Jussie Smollett thing all wrong. As the inimitable and über-woke “radical intersectionalist poet” Titania McGrath points out, even if Smollett made up the whole “hate crime” narrative, we need to stay focused on the big picture. The greater good, if you will:

It is absolutely *essential* that we believe Jussie Smollett. If we don’t, other people who haven’t been attacked might not have the courage to come forward.#IBelieveJussie — Titania McGrath (@TitaniaMcGrath) February 20, 2019

Xe’s right, you know. We stand corrected.

You are bringing me to whole new levels of wokeness. My intersectional categories just grew to include "people who haven't been attacked," but,"might not have the courage to come forward. — Phil McCutchen (@PastorPhilBCC) February 20, 2019

Thank you for the motivation to come forward. This is really tough….. but, I too, have not been attacked. There I said it, now the whole world knows. I feel so much better. — John Osborn (@johnwosborn) February 20, 2019

I havn't been attacked, but after seeing this it has encouraged me to feel that i have been. Thank you for helping me realise this. — Hardy (@hardyed3) February 20, 2019

I cry everyday for the people who haven’t been attacked. We must believe them too #BelieveNonVictims — OneBagTravel (@OneBagTravels) February 20, 2019

Maybe we should have a victim preregistration service. — madeofmistake (@madeofmistak3) February 20, 2019

Not a bad idea.

Thank you for your courage! — Whore Bear (@WhoreBear) February 20, 2019

I couldn't agree more with you Titania. ? Stunningly brave as usual. ? — Barth Gimble II (@GimbleIi) February 20, 2019

We’d expect nothing less.
