Michael B Jordan ‘repulsed’ by Baftas racial slur while his parents were left in tears

Awful. I feel bad for EVERYONE involved. [/quote]

Why do you feel bad for everyone. The guy with the tic doesn't seem to think it is a big enough deal to actually apologize. The article explaining how hurt the presenter and his family feel explains:

[i]‘Michael’s community in Newark was part of the Great Migration, which literally happened because Black people were being terrorised in the South. Seeing Michael and Delroy being called that word up there really hurt their loved ones, and so everyone is trying their best to support each other.
‘He postponed some plans in London to spend time with his parents as he recovers.’

This was deeply traumatizing for the presenters and their families and people watching but the guy with Tourette's doesn't understand words can deeply hurt. It seems like he consciously or unconsciously enjoys the publicity. He realizes he gets more press maybe to promote his movie which I hope no one watches since he fails to understand words DO in fact carry meaning.

[i]The day after the awards, Davidson issued an apology saying he was ‘deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary tics to be intentional or to carry any meaning.’[/i][/i][/quote]
