Just days after the prosecutors dropped all charges against Jussie Smollett, who had been indicted on 16 counts of disorderly conduct, the "Empire" actor could again make headlines. Smollett is nominated for the 2019 NAACP Image Awards, scheduled for Saturday. Six-time host and "Black-ish" star Anthony Anderson told Variety on Wednesday that he hopes to see the controversial actor there. “I hope he wins," Anderson added. "I’m happy for him that the system worked for him in his favor because the system isn’t always fair, especially for people of color. So I’m glad it worked out for him."

Good to see our two tiered justice system came to Jessie Mullets rescue - I was really worried there for a couple of minutes......

Good Lord. I try to stay cynical but it’s hard to keep up.

Statements like this make me want to puke. I am a student of the history of the Southwest. One of the great heroines is a woman named Clarabelle Williams. Born in Texas, lived to be 108, and spent her life working as an educator. She was the first African-American to graduate from New Mexico State. She attended in the summer when she wasn´t teaching. She wasn´t allowed in the classroom. She wasn´t allowed a desk or a chair. She had to stand in the hall for her classes. She never complained, she never gave up.
My gosh poor Jussie. Everything is so unfair to the poor thing. Sickening. The NAACP should be ashamed of themselves.

If Smollett is innocent why did he forfeit his bail money and do community service? I hope he gets taken down HARD.

Jussie Smollett has no idea how dangerous a thing it is to be rewarded for being the man you THINK you are.

If the NAALCP thinks that this is going to help them or Smollett, they should think again. People are already hugely ticked off about the “get out of jail free” black and homosexual privilege in this case. Now they will be enraged further as will the CPD. I see backlash heading their way.

I hope they give him the award. Shove it in the face of the American people. See what response they get.

I hope Jussie wins his NAACP Image Award and I hope O.J. Simpson did not kill Nicole and they finally find the real killers.

Mr. Anderson is an intellectual midget. These people - regardless of race - think that a reward for Smollett is a finger in the eye of The Man. In actuality, it continues on the road that sets all minorities back, increases the already expanded fissures first opened by Obama, and increases the distrust rather than the advances We have made over the past 70 years.
Historical ignorance is going to kill our nation, but they don´t seem to care.

Obama won a Nobel Prize. CNN / Jeffrey Zucker won a journalism award. Why shouldn´t Smollett win an NAACP Award. Undeserving liberal people win undeserved meaningless awards from other liberal people all the time.

Without having to admit guilt, He will be taken back into the waiting arms of the Hollywood elites. A Profile in Courage Award cannot be far behind

I hope Jussie wins, too. He is a shining example of what this award truly represents. I hope Jessie and Al are there to present this award to poor Jussie.
And don´t forget, send money.

All that garbage about ´White Privilege´ goes out the window. It´s the new age of ´Black Homosexual Privilege´ and you receive awards for it too. Anthony Anderson, who ever that is, must be severely dumb down.

Not that I thought much of the NAACP, but even by their low standards, this is ridiculous.

NAACP is like a dog finding a stinking weeks old carcass and rolling in it.
