Is science a new form of white supremacism?
He's shown no proof of change though.Y'all are real quick to dismiss his failed attempt at lynching a black person.
Quote from: riotous on February 04, 2019, 12:23:43 PMIf she was raped by a white guy he probably wouldn't have had a tribal sort of reaction to it.We don't tend to attribute the actions of white criminals to all white people but we do tend to do that for blacks and other minorities; this shit has been studied.I can only assume he asked more questions other than race like hair and build, because in his blind rage he probably convinced himself he could find the right guy.If his motivation was purely a tit-for-tat retribution, i'd no doubt call it racism though. Glad he was able to see past it before he ruined his life and someone else's.

The troubling element here isn't the murderous revenge angle, it's that he was, by his own admission, fine with enacting it on any random black person. He doesn't even address this.
‘What the fuck are you doing,’ you know?”
Generally speaking, how does one prove they’ve changed when the only crime they committed was in their mind?
It's like no one can parse:Quote ‘What the fuck are you doing,’ you know?”To mean, what I'm doing is wrong.
I mean, his own story is framed in such a way that he's wanted a random black guy to attack him so that he could kill a random black guy.
And fuck this growth shit. Black people aren't allowed to grow. We aren't even allowed the privilege of a situation assessment.And now y'all want me to pat a white, rich-ass celebrity on the back for happenstance preventing him from adding another notch on the board.I await all of you asking where the forgiveness was for the next police brutality thread, if you even bother to post in it. I've got a long memory.
What must Neeson do to "prove he's changed" when there is no incident (that we know of) of racism from him for 40 years since that intention to harm that never came to fruition? What kind of receipts do they expect him to produce?
Is there a way for him to be trusted again?
Like, I'm baffled that some people here are so fixated about the revenge part and not the racist part.
Generally speaking, how does one prove they’ve changed when the only crime they committed was in their mind? QuoteFor starters he could adress his past racism, and speak about current racism. He doesn't even acknowledge his racist past, just his seek for revenge.

Yea, I was not pissed at this thread at first, but all the "BUT HE DIDN'T ACT ON IT!" posts are pissing me the fuck off.Reading comprehension is at an all time low. Wandering the streets with the weapon to kill black people is MOST DEFINITELY acting on your racist impulses. If some poor black guy actually DID walk up to Neeson, he would be a murderer. Point blank.

What's there to discuss other than to say: Good for him?I think there's some good conversations to be had out of the story that don't have to involve "cancelling Neeson."He's describing a real phenomenon, a sort of hard to avoid knee-jerk racism that happens in a lot of people. And just in general the phenomenon of how we tend to hold people responsible for things on racial lines.

And it’s black history month and he dropped this bomb on the black community. Really shitty. And they’ll be pressured by white people to forgive Liam Neeson, because he’s one of the “good ones.”

One rape condemned the entire black male population to a potential ambush by a racist with a metal bar.
all these people talking about racism blah blah blah, when the real question should be, how many people did Liam Neeson kill, how do we know he stopped at one? like that one guy said, most people don't, they do it repeatedly
Save us AOC by introducing thoughtcrime legislation on twitch QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

All of us have an implicit bias against dark-skinned people. It’s unsurprising that extreme trauma and anger will turn this bias into racial violence.
No, not all of us are racist.
I happen to know that MLKs resetera post count is 0, so I don't really see why anyone would care to listen to anything they have to say
QuoteThis thread is just a timely reminder that black people are supposed to instantly forgive and forget any instances of past racism.Yep.The moment we say "this is unforgivable" is the moment white people will be scared to death of what the answer is to "What should the consequences be for continuance of centuries of black-directed racism and violence?"None of these cowards want to deal with that. So beg for forgiveness to pass the buck along.

Wanting to kill someone isn't the issue in this story. It's who he wanted to kill.

It's moments like these when I realise a good chunk of people have never felt the all-consuming nature of blind rage and anger. It overwhelms the senses, compassion, and reason. Carl Jung talked about the inherent darkness in the human condition but it seems most people don't have the capability to understand it without direct experience, and by extension someone else's struggle with it (and the murderous intent it can encompass).How simple the world must be to them.
If my hypothetical black children ever get raped by a non-black man, I can guarantee you I will not go out to try and kill the first non-black man I find.Because I'm not a racist shitbag.
if you were a full grown adult and had thoughts of killing random black people, yes, shut the fuck up and keep that to yourself
Has anyone deployed the “he’s not racist, he’s just European” defense yet?
How is it that someone can try to equate the attempt to murder black people solely due to the colour of their skin with James Gunn's inappropriate tweets and not be instantly banned or even warned by the mods? That goes for numerous instances of hand waving and false equivalences in this thread.
