>Despite support from Anthony Anderson, Jussie Smollett was a no-show at Saturday night's NAACP Image Awards in Hollywood.
>The "Empire" actor was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, but lost out to “Grey’s Anatomy” star Jesse Williams. Williams won the award during the untelevised portion of the show at the awards dinner Friday, which USA TODAY confirmed Smollett also did not attend.
>But that didn't stop Chris Rock from taking aim.
>"They said 'No Jussie Smollett jokes,' " said Rock, who was there to present Outstanding Comedy Series. But that didn't stop him. "What a waste of light skin," Rock cracked. "Do you know what I could do with that light skin? That curly hair? My career would be out of here! I'd be running Hollywood."
>"What the hell was he thinking? You're 'Jessie' from now on," Rock continued, as cameras showed Trevor Noah cracking up in the crowd. "You don't get the 'u' no more. That 'u' was respect. You ain't getting no respect from me!"
I am surprised no one made a ‘turns out white privilege was just rich privilege all along’ joke.
Elijah Jenkins
That’s not a funny joke you seething /pol/ incel chud
Colton Kelly
Chris Rock is fucking based
Kayden Nguyen
If anything it's a white privilege to be good at corruption. They need a handicap because this whole thing has been comically retarded.
> Sign the fucking check you gave the nigerians to buy the masks with. > Keep the fucking magazines you cut up for the letter in the apartment 3 weeks after the fact.
Whatever he did, he deserves a fair trial. Justice will come!

>In response to Rock's jokes, "black-ish" star Yara Shahidi made her stance in the Smollett controversy obvious.
>"I stand with Jussie," bitch how the fuck
Grayson Clark
Pride makes people go full retard.
Hudson Phillips
Rock used to be pretty redpilled during his "Black people vs Niggers" bit, and his "How not to get your ass kicked by the police." He walked it back a bit as he got older, but he knows.
Thomas Williams
Oh boy. Chris rock just stfu
Logan Garcia
I was sad to see him go to the lazy as fuck Sandler crowd.
We'll always have CB4 though.
William Bell
Just like O.J.
Jaxon Nelson
I've heard of resting bitch face before, but this chick has resting triangle snap face.
Anton from The Shield - fuck that motherfucker. I always hated how he treated my boy Shane and now if I see him in the streets, I'm swinging!
Kevin Foster
I'm guessing it was untelevised for his part because of booing.
Jose Robinson
If there were ever a valid argument for affirmative action it'd be this. Black corrupt officials are amateur hour.
Jace Brown
As a proud Democrat I say that this Uncle Tom's days in Hollywood are over and good riddance. He can go shuck and jive in hell as far as I'm concerned.
Liam Rogers
CHRIS STILL GOT IT
Chase Richardson
I don't think you understand how the Sandler thing works. Its basically an all expenses paid vacation with a fat paycheck even if the movie bombs due to all the advertising done in the films. It doesn't even hurt his integrity to participate in those films.
Yeah I can't really talk shit. If you can go on vacation and just bring a cameraman along and actually make a killing doing it you're doing something right.
Henry Cooper
I can't believe Grey's anatomy is still on the air
Jaxon Nelson
>That curly hair ummm wait a minute guys what did he mean by this
Nolan Walker
>YOU JESSIE BOY! Based Rock. As much as conservitards can't resist acting like everyone to the left of Hitler supports Smollet, this just shows that literally everyone thinks he's a stupid fuckup.
Cooper Martinez
>fake hate crime in order to gain popularity and smear your political opponents >as punishment everyone thinks i'm a big doodoohead woah holy shit i was wrong, the left does have integrity, i can't imagine how i'd feel if that happened to me
Levi Foster
It warms my heart to see people on the left call out this bullshit. Gives me hope.
Angel Adams
>>"What the hell was he thinking? You're 'Jessie' from now on," Rock continued, as cameras showed Trevor Noah cracking up in the crowd. "You don't get the 'u' no more. That 'u' was respect. You ain't getting no respect from me!" i don't get it, can somebody explain?
Justin Cruz
Dude changed his name to be Jussie because of reasons and now since he's a proven POS he goes back to Jessie
>this just shows that literally everyone thinks he's a stupid fuckup. The thing is, we actually know this. Us "conservitards" and everyone that's remotely rightwing loved the Smollett thing (even, in a way, the corrupt dropping of charges) because it's a huge redpill. From day 1, blacks and libs didn't buy his story, and as time went on more and more fell off his wagon until only the most racist, most identitarian, and most "woke" stayed on board to use it as an excuse to bash cops or compare to Trump.
But we know most people see it as a hoax and believe he's guilty and should fuck off. We know most people see the cover-up and aren't down with faking hate crimes to win politcal points.
Just like with the Mueller thing, anything that redpills people to the media's and Hollywood's shit, I'm good with.
Ryder Roberts
He says while posting in a thread about how Jussie was still nominated for an award, with examples of people supporting him.

Christopher Perry
Imagine if Topher Grace got caught staging an assault against himself by two guys in Obama hats. Chris Rock would advocate that the world call him Chris instead of Topher. He had lost his right to a ridiculous self selected nick name.
Anthony Evans
damn, even black people disowned him
Isaac Kelly
hmmm, if that's all it is it isn't particularly funny but at least i understand now thanks you fren
Julian King
>people are dumb
Gabriel Long
Jussie is a pain in the ass snowflake name, like Geoff instead of Jeff, or Giulia instead of Julia, now that he's made an ass of himself no one will go out of it's way to say his name right.
Isaiah Thomas
People only tolerate calling you whatever your preferred vernacular is so far.
Sebastian Lopez
Made the mistake of watching a video where his him and his entire family stand there smirking at the camera. Just give the poor Nigerian dudes machetes and 'accidentally' leave the cell unlocked. If people would believe Jussie this far it shouldn't be hard to believe it was an accident.
Xavier Perry
Looks smug pepe
Jonathan Powell
>Be a literal disgrace >even go on to screw your 2 fellow blacks who you paid to fake attack you >rest of the black community sticks up with you to the point they even nominate you for awards
This is why nobody respects niggers
Easton Hughes
The hillarious part is the bold face lying still now from Foxx and Smollett still wants to say he's innocent. Even after the Illinois Bar chimed in saying as much.
I for the life of me can't tell if it's hubris or just more stupidity but I'm leaning towards the latter.
Bentley Miller
He is facing no consequences and many people are sticking up for him. It's only hubris if it doesn't work out.
Anthony Robinson
He means he's gone from a black name to a white name
