YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The case of Jussie Smollett showed the world, once again, that people will believe any claim of victim-hood if the person making the claim is a part of a "protected class", but why was it that the media and the public at large were so willing to accept Jussie's claims mere days after falling for a similar hoax regarding the Covington Catholic kids?
