There are several rappers that can be applied to along with Marky Mark.

Mark Wahlberg is an a-list actor whereas the rappers you are referring to are fringe.

Okay so apparently what you are getting at is that if Smollett was white no one would care. The only reason it is an issue is because he is black. And only a white man who committed assault (when he was 16) would go on to become an A-list actor while nobody bats an eyelid. It is all about racism. Got it.

"Will Smith — aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy.

Will Smith was arrested in 1989 after being involved in an assault so serious one man was left nearly blind.

He was charged with aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, simple assault, and criminal conspiracy. However, the charges were later dismissed."

Not the same Ezra.

Will Smith was involved in a physical fracas with his record promoter William Hendricks in 1989.
The charges against Smith, which were later dismissed, included aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.

In sharp contrast Wahlberg is a convicted felon involved in multiple hate crimes when he was skinhead. In addition to seriously assaulting two asian men he also threw a rock at a young black girl leaving her with brain damage. All three victims have never received an apology.

Wahlberg's attempt to remove his criminal conviction was a cheap attempt to obtain a liquor licence for his Wahlburger chain which is prohibited if you are convicted felon in the state of California.

Seems rather petty to try and dredge up issues with Will Smith of all people? I notice the state of Arizona aren't that big about celebrating MLK day, I suppose folk who live in your state assume blacks are untrustworthy?

So Will Smith committing assault in1989 and Mark Whalberg committing assault in 1988 is not comparable.

But Jussie Smollett filing a false police report in 2019 and Mark Whalberg committing assault in 1988 is comparable.

You say it's petty to drege up Will Smith of all people after you drege up Mark Whalberg of all people.

I doubt you notice anything accurate about Arizona considering you continually confuse it with Nevada where I used to live five years ago. I now live in Seattle, Alaska which is a country comparable to Norway.

Try sticking with Las Vegas where I lived. And look into Las Vegas regarding MLK day.

I still think you need to talk to a counselor about your apparent obsession with racism in America which you seem preoccupied with 24/7.

BTW, not that it has anything whatsoever to do with Jussie Smollett but:

The City of Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, hosts several major events in January to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: the MLK Awards Breakfast, the MLK March and Festival

And now for where I actually used to live:

Thousands of people lined the streets of downtown Las Vegas [Nevada] for the 37th annual MLK Day Parade.

Were you perhaps confusing Nevada for Arizona which you are confusing with Alabama?

If you want to keep going on about what goes on in America, learn more about it please.

Even in here in Australia we know that voters in the state of Arizona objected to the public holiday for MLK day.
Eventually only when the US National Football League to pull the upcoming Super Bowl because it did not want to deal with potential fallout — Arizona voters went back to the polls and approved a measure to create the holiday.'

Seems odd why this state was so against MLK? even Mississippi and Alabama didn't have objections? any reasons

On March 19, 1991, NFL owners voted to remove the 1993 Super Bowl from Phoenix after Arizona voters failed to make Martin Luther King Jr. Day a paid holiday.

Sounds like what happened 28 years ago, had to do with another paid holiday being added. In other words it sounds like it was about money.

But what does that have to do with Jussie Smollett? Or where I used to live in Las Vegas Nevada? And what does where I used to live have to do with Jessie Smollett?

Yeah but I doubt many Australians are as wrapped up in it as you are. So 28 years ago there was news in Oz about Arizona not recognizing MLK day as a paid holiday, and you have been thinking about it ever since then?

It's strange that such a staunch anti racist who goes around like a heat seeking missile looking for racism would support Israel who have detention centres and a curfew for Africans.

I believe israelis have the right to dictate how to run their traditional homeland.
In my view the Palestinians are descended from the biblical Philistines who'se traditional homeland was Lebanon. The Palestinians who live in Israel or in the territories have a right to live there. But they are not indigenous, they entered Israel after the siege of Jerusalem and occupied Jewish land.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jerusalem(636–637)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamization_of_Jerusalem
The creation of the state of Israel was bringing a natural order back to the middle east.

Jussie Smollett Indicted On New Charges Related To Attack Police Called A Hoax

CHICAGO (CBS) — Actor Jussie Smollett has been indicted on six new charges of disorderly conduct, accusing him of filing false police reports claiming he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack last year.

A special Cook County grand jury handed down the new indictment on Tuesday, following a six-month investigation by special prosecutor Dan Webb.

In a statement, Webb’s office said Smollett filed four separate false police reports claiming he was the victim of a hate crime.

“The grand jury’s investigation revealed that Jussie Smollett planned and participated in a staged hate crime attack, and thereafter made numerous false statements to Chicago Police Department officers on multiple occasions, reporting a heinous hate crime that he, in fact, knew had not occurred,” Webb said in a statement.
