Project 21 is calling on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to drop Jussie Smollett from the list of nominees for an Image Award.
A black conservative group is calling on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to drop Jussie Smollett from the list of nominees for an Image Award after the actor was arrested on the suspicion of filing a false police report claiming to have been the victim of a hate crime.
"Everyone has a reason to be disappointed with Jussie Smollett right now, and these accumulated reasons justify the NAACP taking swift and appropriate action to remove him from consideration for its Image Award," Council Nedd, co-chairman of Project 21, said in a statement Monday. The Image Award nomination came before Smollett was charged with 16 counts of disorderly misconduct for allegedly lying to the Chicago police.
