[quote=Anonymous]It’s a shame for Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo. The flew overseas to attend a professional event where their work was nominated. They were asked by the organizers to present an award, only to face racial slurs when appearing on stage. You could see the hurt on their faces after the n word was yelled at them. The organizers of the event did nothing to apologize to them. The host issued a throwaway apology “IF you were offended.”

It has to be humiliating for them. The broadcasters had two hours to remove the racial slur before the event was televised, but did nothing. That movement will forever be on the internet.

The man who used the slur has issued nothing but a series of self-serving statements to promote his movie. People are making a bunch of excuses for him and behaving as if he is the victim. I’m not sure he’s not racist. He yells generic profanity at white people, yet yells the n word as soon as he sees a black person - he yelled the same slur at the Sinners production designer upon seeing her at the dinner. It’s shameful that he has not apologized for the hurt he has caused. [/quote]
