Potential persons of interest sought in Jussie Smollett attack
A star on Fox's "Empire," Smollett told authorities he had gone for a bite to eat in the upscale Streeterville neighborhood about 2 a.m. Tuesday when two men yelling racist and homophobic slurs attacked him and left him with injuries to his face, police said.
He also reported that the attackers, described only as men in dark clothing and ski masks, doused him with a chemical that a source told NBC News was believed to be bleach. A rope was wrapped around his neck, police said.

He is alleging that they put a noose around his neck as well as making racist homophobic name calling. This will lead folks to believe that these perps were white, but he doesn't describe them as white. They were "men in dark colored clothes". I am beginning to doubt that any of this happened at all. Probable that he made it up to get some attention or pity or just to stir up some chit.
