[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is kind of interesting that people who have been discriminated against themselves for being black are now in this thread pointing the finger at a different demographic and saying they have no right to be in society, we don't want to mix with them in public, they need to stay at home hidden away, they should not be invited to social events, they should keep to themselves and stay away from us.[/quote]

Where did Black people say this? I'm one in this thread and I've said he had the right to be there. He should be able to have as full of an existence as possible.  But at some point there has to be an acknowledgment that he's ruining the show for hundreds of others and then what?  You seem to think that black people (or anyone) should be subjected to hearing nonstop racial slurs at an awards event. That's not appropriate nor is it ableism. I'm sure he attended with the hope that his tics would not have been offensive.  I wish his tics would not have been offensive.  Everyone who applauded at the beginning of the show probably hoped it would not be offensive.  If he was yelling "banana" maybe it's a different story..But to disregard the feelings of dozens (if not hundreds) of others for the feelings of this one man is asinine. It's also not practical for a program that hopes to air on TV[/quote]
