[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he’s a racist f*ck. Had the friend been raped by a white person he absolutely would not have been looking for ANY white person to kill.

Yes, he grew up in a different time but it still shows who he was as a person. [b]He could not distinguish the individual from the group[/b]. This is what is still happening today.[/quote]

Uh, that's not at all what's going on here.  Calm down.  Of course he didn't rationally think all black men are rapists, any more than the crackhead example cited above.  Not PC maybe but I think this is incredibly blown out of proportion (and have no idea why he brought it up at all).[/quote]

That's a ridiculous parsing of what he said. He said he was looking for any random "black bastard" to cosh on the head, presumably to kill or hurt terribly. Of course that means he equates all black men with the rapist.[/quote]
He specifically said he wanted to kill a black bastard.

“‘I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be approached by somebody – I’m ashamed to say that – and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some [Neeson gestures air quotes with his fingers] “black bastard” would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could… kill him.”

Some of these PPs want to rewrite what he said to make it less offensive. [/quote]
