However, he didn’t act on his thoughts and expressed horror and shame for what he’d been contemplating. And that’s what so many people are missing, preferring instead the tabloidesque ‘LIAM NEESON’S RACIST MURDER PLOT’ angle.
2 - Only because you're too blinkered to see what he was trying to do. Blinded by your own prejudice, in fact, as shown by everything you've said so far in this thread - you've stacked assumption upon assumption and rejected any evidence or logic to the contrary. Because he's white, and he's currently rich.
3 - You can't understand it, because you're wilfully avoiding your own little moment of introspection there, so you can continue to see what you want to see.
Again - you're imagining racism as the worst that can possibly happen. Imagining, because you've probably never experienced it either. Now try imagining what it's like to grow up surrounded by people who mostly think you're the worst kind of person ever (not because of anything you've said or done, but because of your parents' religion which you don't fully understand yet), a significant number of whom think the world would be better off if you were dead. Oh, and loads of people around you are being killed for the same reason that people hate you.
Exactly how is that not worse than racism to a child? Can you even countenance the effect that might have on somebody's worldview?
If he was black, though, would it have made a difference? Would it have been somehow more acceptable if he was a black dude going around stalking other black dudes with a blunt instrument? What about if he was Indian? Japanese? Would you have a different perspective on it if all other parts of the story were the same?
If you can't see the nonsense that reveals in your statements, then....ah, who am I trying to kid? You're probably a middle-aged white privileged white guy on a forum. Your opinion means nothing.
Quite a few people I knew had experienced it, and on one occasion violence was involved.
What was it now....er "Inbred, Ugly Leprechauns" and asking them "Don't you have a Famine to go die in?"
Imagine my shock!
2. There is a conversation to be had about racism, when done in the right way. I’d suggest the way he did it, when promoting his new film, which he will benefit from economically, was not appropriate. Now you’re the one making assumptions because you’ve assumed because I’m criticising what he said that I think he should be strung up.
3. I could make exactly the same point about you, for the reason I just stated. You’re on your “mob rule” soapbox so you fail to see that perhaps the reason there is a general outrage is because what he said was outrageous. Yes sometimes the mob is right.
Dismissing my views as ‘nonsense’ just because you disagree with them reveals you to be just as intolerant as the people you take so much pleasure in criticising.
Whataboutism alert.
Erm...Whataboutism, oh yeah, that's the made up word that Twats use, usually people on the Left, they use it to shut down debate.
For Whataboutism read "Comparison". There is nothing wrong with using comparison in debate, especially when it's valid and mine is valid. Same subject, just looking at it from a different angle.
Whataboutism is not a thing! You'll have to move on and make up another word, that one has been rumbled.
I'm sick of white people getting offended for black people, men getting offended for women etc etc
Always brings me back to a day I was looking around a kind of second hand/antique shop. While in there looking there was a mother and (I assume) her child looking too, they were both mixed race.
So they were looking through the junk and came across a stuffed gollywog, and the child asked the mother what it was, and straight away she answered "it's something white people think is racist".
Correct, I have a stash of them tucked up in there, I like to save them for the special occasions when a comment really deserves it.
Your comment was such a nugget. It was so wrong on so many levels that it would be nigh on futile to attempt a sincere response.
However, for what it's worth, I can categorically say that the part highlighted above is plain false.
For the record the example you gave was also disgusting although the comments were so stupid as to almost not be worth not paying attention to. Neeson was talking about murdering someone and as such the greater reaction is justified. So your ‘comparison’ didn’t really work.
Otherwise it'd be a circular argument, and People In The Right definitely can't have one of those
Selective Outrage, eh! It's all over the place.
Oh Damn, there I go again with my Whataboutery!
