This character is trash.

Even so, it wasn't a massive hoax.
It was an idiot hoax. He included his buddies, alleged maga hats, and some rope.
The black community didn't even believe it.

I bet /u/socks fell for it.

Bullshit. Maybe MAGA blacks didn't believe it but the overwhelming majority of blacks believed it like they've believed every single race gayop since Trayvon Martin.

I do remember Dave Chappelle mentioning in his recent special (which was widely trashed by critics and denounced as "problematic", but that had excellent audience reviews) that when the Smollett thing happened the Black community wasn't saying anything, to the point where the gay community started denouncing them as being homophobic for not coming out in support, and the reason they weren't saying anything is because they knew the story didn't add up.

Maybe he's twisting history to make the bit work, I don't really know. But I do know it's a pretty funny bit either way.

Chappelle is hilarious. He's unique.

Here's a rabbit hole that I think you will find interesting.
