[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 3 people who were on the receiving end have the right to be offended and upset. They also have the right to be in a safe environment and anticipate or be called a nasty word by anyone. It would have been right to apologize to them directly. If you can apologize when yout child hits someone or you cause an accident someone could have and should have apologized direcrly to those on the receiving end.

We do not have the right to tell them how to feel or to explain it away or get over it or blame it on a condition.

Cutting references to trump, palestine and andrew but leaving that in was a huge mistake.

[b]To say the word he knew the word and who to direct it to.[/b] He didnt say it to everyone he encountered or saw.

Sorry if you feel offended is not a proper apology.

Should he have been there? Maybe for a moment when his movie was being acknowledged, but sitting through a long ceremony was the wrong decision. There's a reason you dont being a baby to the opera.

Also, illnesses and conditions do not absolve a person of having certain thoughts and feelings Consci.\nOusly subconsciouslyWe don't know this man's deepest thoughts and feelings.No matter who knows him and swears by him period only he does.

I don't understand the point of this statement.  Of course he did.  People with Tourette's are not stupid.  But it's entirely beside the point - a symptom of his condition is involuntarily blurting out obscene or derogatory insults.  [/quote]

He didnt say it to every person in the place. He said it to black people when he saw them. He didn't say any other slurs to any other group of people there. someone said he did curse when a woman was speaking, but he didn't call her a a name. He didn't refer to any other religion or gender or group by any other slur. Whether he meant to or could control it it is one thing but he knew the word and who to direct it to and they had the right to not be on the receiving end of that and others not to hear it.[/quote]
