At least as far as the Chicago State’s Attorney’s Office is concerned, Jussie Smollett has done enough to clear his good name. Or at least to meet their criteria for rehabilitation so that he can just get back to making an honest living.
So *that’s what the whole privilege thing they keep talking about looks like.

Jussie Smollett getting his 16 felony counts dropped is a prime example of white priv-
Oh wait..

Obviously it’s not white privilege at work … but it’s most definitely privilege.
It would appear that way, yes:
Wow, it sounds like they will put this all on the Osundairo brothers

Smollett's lawyer is claiming the Osundairo brothers attacked him

Remember that time today when Smollett proclaimed that he “will always continue to fight for the justice, equality and betterment of marginalized people everywhere”? Yeah, well, guess that willingness to fight doesn’t extend to the Nigerian brothers he’s marginalizing by lying about them to protect himself.
Absolutely disgusting.
Why would they attack him? There's NO REASON for them to attack him.
NONE. https://t.co/AXZc8oiSiB

So here is the official story as they seem to be framing it.
Osundairo's did attack Jussie, are seen on camera buying the items involved, then lied about why they did it and how it all happened.
So what is the motivation now?
— Tim Pool (@Timcast) March 26, 2019
so now the guys you paid to be your trainers, then your accomplices, are the ones you are throwing under the bus who attacked you? Ok what was their motivation?

It’s pretty clear what Smollett’s motivation is.
convenient fall guys

They're going to vilify the brothers and turn Jussie into some sort of martyr or hero. How woke. How brave.

They're going to scapegoat two poor black men to protect a famous black Dem? Even @SAKimFoxx is out there committing black on black crime. https://t.co/LO7Q1F60MD

Smollett got what he needed from them. They’re no good to him now, so under the bus they go.
Insane. Unreal. How are they getting away with this?

One word: Privilege. Smollett has it. The Osundairos don’t. But hopefully they’ll find a way to fight back.
The Osundairo brothers should sue him back into the stone age. Slime ball lawyer.
