Jussie Smollet Charged with Staging 400-Year Legacy of Slavery, Jim Crow, and Prison-Industrial Complex in America

USA — Empire Actor Jussie Smollet has been charged with staging an elaborate hoax involving a nation with a 400-year legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, and inequal prison sentencing, radio hosts confirmed today.

“Police managed to nab the inventor of racism in America, Jussie Smollet, today,” political commentator and radio host Dave Shiner said on his third straight show focusing on the topic. “Smollet even went as far as to create a fictional organization called the KKK, which once had as high as 6 million hoax members — all created by the Empire actor.”

The radio hosts laid out how Smollet had not only written a racist letter to himself in a disgusting effort to increase his own salary, but how he also created detailed back stories for each and every discriminatory mandatory sentencing law and riot over police brutality.

“The sad part is really that this just hurts the next nation to come along and try to tell people it once had a law where one race was only considered 3/5ths human,” Shiner continued. “Who will believe that nation now?”

Smollet’s personal trainer was also reportedly paid to help stage the elaborate hoax of a nation struggling to come to terms with its history of segregation, discriminatory housing policies, and a civil war fought over whether or not black people were people.
