Liam Neeson: Rape, Revenge, and Race Relations

[Rev. Rye]

Yeah, I'm willing to accept that Neeson has changed and his race relations in the decades since that incident have softened, but "racists don't kiss the race they hate" is still a pretty damn weak defense. Maybe if she pointed out that, well, Viola Davis is not the sort of dark oak many people would fantasise about splitting, it might make more sense, but even then, given how rape can still be pretty divorced from sexual desire (and how backhanded it would be towards Viola Davis), that's still far from perfect.
