No, I think you're making the point fine, but there is a rhetoric at play here.

I think you're saying there are dickheads and idiots who would use this to say "Look Gay black people are not really under threat". Then there are the majority of people who are not gay black people and do not see the realities of being gay and black, and can only go on what they are told. And if they are told "Look Gay black people are not really under threat" and they are presented with yet another hoax, they might be convinced.

Now my feeling is being tricked by a someone with anecdotal evidence into believing something that is not true does not make you a dickhead or an idiot, just someone who was tricked. But there is a rhetoric at play here like I said, where people respond to such a claim with "If you let yourself get tricked you are a dickhead and an idiot. It's all malice, and anyone who doesn't believe what I say is inherently bad and against me". So some people hold the view that there is only "My side and the bad side" and I think your view seems to be "There is my side, there is the bad side, and then there is the undecided masses, and this Jussie Smollett thing is a dangerous thing for the bad side to use against the masses"

The undecided masses are mostly people who don't want to admit whatever it is they've decided.

See that's what I mean, that sounds so much like "You're either with me or against me" rhetoric.

I am not down with it

The trouble is that sometimes it really do be like that

[thewakokid]

I don't know if I agree with that in general terms, but either way I really don't think this is one of those times.
