[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It is 100% racist.  I can’t believe everyone doesn’t agree to that.[/b]  If she said she was raped by a white guy, no way he would have gone out looking for any white guy to kill.  And most likely, she wouldn’t have just said a white guy.  She would have said a blonde with an accent from Manchester or something like that, and he would have gone out to a pub after a Manchester game and looked for a blonde guy to pick a fight.   The fact is that he saw only the race. That is racist.

He’s said or done other icky things before, I think.  At the beginning off his career, I really liked him but I feel like as the years go on, he’s less impressive.

This confession would have been much more sincere if he’d expressed it as “growing up in Northern Ireland, I didn’t meet many black people.  And I know I have prejudices I need to overcome ....”[/quote]

Thank goodness. The past pages of rationalizations and normalization are a nice explanation of how racism has lasted this long.[/quote]

I agree 100%. I posted the Guardian opinion piece. I can't see how Neeson's "confession" was anything but racist. He still doesn't get that he was wrong for wanting to target a random black man. At all.[/quote]

He didn't say he wanted to target a random black man.  He wanted to target the specific black man, although he didn't know who he was.  [/quote]

No he said he wanted to attack a black man not THE black man. Read it again. [/quote]
