Liam Neeson

I just don’t get why you’d come out and say it. Completely unnecessary and done himself more harm than good.
 
Typical ridiculous response from a brain dead entertainment/media cabal.

Scratch the surface of man and we are thisclose to reverting to our basest instincts.

I probably wasn’t going to see the movie, because I think the trailers have shown the whole fucking thing, but I might now, just toinflate what will be a lousy box office.

Can’t wait for the totally out of control outrage and victim industry to be one passé, so we can go back to living in a world where actions are put into context.
 
Alot of people have come out in support of liam because he is being honest and geniune, i think its refreshing for him to come out and be controversial, he is a movie star and you can see he takes himself seriously.

Maybe people will realise that the media is not for your mental health, rather it is against it.

Right, so...

Okay, so-oo, where was this? NI, GB, LA...? Not exactly clear, eh? And I daresay, there weren't many Black neighbourhoods in NI, at the time!


No, not "someone", ANY Black man (or bast*rd to be correct)!


ANY Black man, yes...


Yes, some RANDOM Black dude, yes...


A 'look' his way should be "reason" enough, no? What "reason" was he expecting from a RANDOM Black man...?


And this is where your own post contradicts you. It's EXACTLY that AND he had all the excuse in the world to pick any Black man, but in his own words, didn't.

What, let's call it 10 days standing around a Black neighbourhood and saw NO opportunity??



Just... think about that for a second! Who spends 10 days going out of his mind with anger, not to act upon it??

He could have chosen a business man, a college kid, a dealer, but none took his fancy!!

Come on...

We're obviously approaching this from very different angles. What I would say is that I'm not in any way in agreement with his thoughts or actions. I'm not violent and not (knowingly) racist, however I am open to trying to understand his thought process at the time and in the present. My reasoning may not be what you like to hear but it wasn't unusual for profiling like this to happen 40 years or so ago. Just ask the Birmingham Six, those who were on the streets of Moss Side etc.. People reflect the society they are raised and lived in. It's uncomfortable and rightly so. I admit to using words then that I wouldn't today. Evolution, I would call it.

My issue is judging people of events of the past using today's standards.

We are, indeed, coming from this at different angles. I've been 'profiled' so I understand entirely what that process/ assumption feels like. It's not nice to be lumped in the net with any old dude that has similar colour skin to me. There are idiots that will randomly call you a 'n*****' cos they feel like it (passengers in cars, mostly, and it's unfortunate for them if they stop at lights!). It's not happened to ME for a while, but what's not to say someone isn't getting that abuse??

But, I digress...

My point is that his story is super vague. I know you're coming from the point that he's admitted fault and I think that's "commendable" (not really sure as I don't personally know the man) too... if it rang true?

A fella I know, who passed 20 years ago, was someone who was badly racist. He hailed from South Africa, through Oz and had no time for me at all, being good mates with his son. I broke through particular shield of his and we got on famously, for years after. I have no idea if I was the only one he felt that way about.

As he lay dying in hospital, he requested I come see him and he introduced me to the nurses as his other 'son'. I don't mind saying I was shocked as hell at that, but I was privileged that he thought that much about me.

I know people have the capacity to change and Mr Neesom is no different.
