Liam Neeson admitted to actively seeking to make a black guy, ANY black guy pay for one person's alleged crime...with their LIFE, no less. And yet, his takeaway from that week long debacle was "Revenge is bad, m'kay? It made ME feel all icky inside. Btw, my upcoming film explores the topic of revenge. Check out it out".
Nothing about the little "folly" of holding an entire race of people responsible for the actions of single, and seeking to mete out a death sentence. Not just thinking about it, but actively attempting to do it.
Every night.
For an entire week.
By going to black areas and waiting for ANY random Negro to approach or look at him funny, so he could claim he felt "threatened" and justify bashing an innocent guy's brains in for the crime of being Black...because that's what the alleged attacker was.
And after his comments got criticism, this big, dumb RACIST lummox was all like "Huh? What racism? What are you talking about? I'm not a racist. Where are you getting this from?"....LOL. I think he didn't bother to offer any insight on the thoroughly dehumanizing and dangerous practice of racial broadbrushing simply because he has yet to make to make that connection, or at least hadn't at the time of the interview. He didn't view that aspect of the story as particularly problematic.
Seems pretty clear to me that Neeson revealed his hand without intending to....And now certain folks are lauding him for being "refreshingly honest and open", and insisting that everyone cut him some slack and give him cookies for it.
LMFAO
Well congrats to him for NOT succeeding in multiple attempts at setting up just any ole black guy to be KILLED, I guess. And for calling it quits once he realized his effort were emotionally exhaustive and time-consuming for HIM.
But, yeah...fuck Liam Neemson. There's no way I'd willingly line that piece-of-shit's pockets, in knowing how far he was willing to go in his racial hatred and contempt.
I'm sure his movie will perform at the box-office just fine in MAGA land though. The "Angry White Man" gone rogue/delivering street justice trope is crazy popular among that demographic....LOL. His career will survive.
No need for covert racists and/or Liam Neeson stans to work themselves into a tizzy.
