Just so awful.
Michael B Jordan ‘repulsed’ by Baftas racial slur while his parents were left in tears https://metro.co.uk/2026/02/24/michael-b-jordan-repulsed-baftas-racial-slur-parents-left-tears-27081632/ |
I wish people would stop repeating this. They were warned he might shout some offensive things, which is so general, not actual racial slurs. |
Are people really so naive that they don't think offensive things, which offend, might not include any kind of slur? What would be an ok offensive thing? |
I'm sorry you lack such an imagination, but there are tons of offensive words like b****, a**hole, etc. you can imagine one shouting. I highly doubt Lindo and Jordan immediately jumped to the conclusion that he'd shout the n-word, and we now know they didn't jump to that conclusion given that multiple people from Sinners have spoken out about it, including Lindo, another person involved with the movie, and sources connected to Jordan. |
This all boils down to your ignorance of his condition. Maybe start there. |
I’ve heard individuals with Tourette’s say some terrible things, but never anything racist. But I’m not from Scotland where I’ve read that racist slurs against black and brown people are a common occurrence. |
Wow, you really cannot be this daft. The point of the post I was responding to is that the audience should have been okay with that if they were warned. I'm saying that the people in the audience might not have been aware that the offensive warning entailed terms like the n-word, hence why they were taken aback. Don't make this about me and my familiarity with the condition. |
I don't assume everyone is as ignorants as you are that they've never heard of Tourettes. That part is on you. The bigger question is whether this was handled appropriately after the fact, and no, it wasn't. |
I can't believe I have to repeat this since you lack reading comprehension: I highly doubt Lindo and Jordan immediately jumped to the conclusion that he'd shout the n-word, and we now know they didn't jump to that conclusion given that multiple people from Sinners have spoken out about it, including Lindo, another person involved with the movie, and sources connected to Jordan. Your next disability project should not just be advocating for people with tourettes, but adult people who are illiterate such as yourself. |
The hallmark of this disability is saying taboo things but you maintain nobody could have seen this coming? |
Again, yes, given the reactions from the people involved in Sinners who said they were surprised. Are you going to keep asking this question even though I've already answered it? |

It is ridiculous that people are debating whether if there was a warning beforehand it would then make it alright. Once the man interrupted the show twice by yelling obscenities he needed to immediately leave.
It isn't alright he stayed and then to add insult to the injury the guy with Tourettes is basically an insensitive jerk for not apologizing to the Black presenters. If anyone has watched the movies Sinners it makes it even more horrific what happened. The presenters were up there because they were fantastic in the movie Sinners. Ryan Coogler’s horror film Sinners is set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta and stars Jordan in dual roles as criminal identical twin brothers who return to their hometown in the Jim Crow South, where they are confronted by a supernatural evil. ‘Michael had to do extensive research into the horrific psychological effects of racism to prepare for Sinners so was disgusted, repulsed and grossed out by John’s outburst,’ they told us. After watching the event unfold, the actor’s parents were left shaken. ‘His mum and dad broke down in tears when they saw what happened to him and Delroy, and it has been a horrible 48 hours for the family,’ they explained. |
So they were ignorant, along with you. What should they have done, handed them a handy reference sheet of all the taboo words that exist that they could possible hear? I don't think that would have gone over that well either. |
Only a lawsuit can compensate them fairly. |
Awful. I feel bad for EVERYONE involved. |
