ANGELFIRE1   10 #1 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Liam Neeson is in bother over his recent interview which many are saying is a hate crime, others are saying it's blatantly racism. Or is it a publicity stunt "gone wrong".  Angel1. Edited February 5, 2019 by ANGELFIRE1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   214 #2 Posted February 5, 2019 I'm not sure what to think. Its very brave of him to admit it though.  https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/liam-neeson-interview-rape-race-black-man-revenge-taken-cold-pursuit-a8760896.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mister M Â Â 1,625 #4 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) I think it was very honest of him to admit how he felt in that moment of heightened stress. It's a shame that there are some idiots on social media that don't have 2 brain cells to rub together.

geared   311 #5 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) It wasn't a moment, in his own words it was about a week.  He freely admitted to walking the streets carrying a weapon looking to get into a fight with a black person, purely because they were black.   Edited February 5, 2019 by geared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It doesnt matter if it was heightened stress or not. you dont bring racism into it.  personally,,,i got mugged twice in pitsmoor, by black men............i didnt then go round hating all blackmen (just those 2), i have also been been attacked / robbed by White men too over the decades.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I understand the anger he might have felt, but, it's 2019 and you're promoting a film - don't say you spent a week looking for a "black *******" to kill, make it a white guy with an eyepatch or something.

The problem i have is....to do that type of thing means there must be the thoughts in your head, racist thoughts, they dont go away, its fundamentally you. you can push them to one side but essentially they stay there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I’m not sure you lead the life he appears to have led being racist. If he had been, they’d have piled on the accusations - he was a paediatric surgeon wasn’t he, the Republicans would have gone through every single patient he had ever had looking for more dirt. It doesn’t look like there has been any more to find. He’s now denying it, and again I don’t blame him, IF, and if is the word, he doesn’t think it’s him, it’s a blurry pic in yearbook after all. I was shown pictures of me in the 90s recently and I wasn’t dressed as a KKK member or in blackface and I wasn’t totally sure it was me under that dodgy haircut  Going back to Neeson, again, different times. He’s 66 now, we could be going back 40 odd years. Angry, yes very possibly racist but given his background not incredibly surprising. Can’t people grow as they grow up, move round, and experience different things? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
