Liam Neeson in racism storm after admitting he wanted to kill a black man

[Spicoli]

40 years ago? He volunteered it and was honest about being a racist asinine young man prone to violence. More importantly admits the errors of his ways, regrets and pulled his head outta his arse now. If a man cant admit fault and change, we're in a bad spot. Plenty of current day clowns walking around who deserve the scrutiny.

Nothing wrong with sharing his thoughts and feelings but I do not believe him when he claims he would have acted in the same way if his friend's assailant had been white.

I do not see him trying to go out and kill "an Irish, Scot, Brit or a Lithuanian".

It is what it is , get over it.

Nothing for me to get over. He should carry on being truthful and not try and cover up what he thought.

After the rape of a best friend or relative? Dunno bud might be hard to rule anything out if your minds already on beating someone to a pulp.

I think what Master meant is that Neeson just wanted a ruckus there are plenty of white people in Northern Ireland but he would not have been quick to label all white people as deserivng of vengance just because one white bloke was a rapist. Even now in 2019 there is only about 1000 black people in the whole of Northern Ireland so Neeson volunteering that he went into 'black areas of the city so that i could be set upon' sounds a bit like he bought into the all black guys are thugs trope back then. Good on him if he is honest enough to admit he was a dick and has changed, unlike ...many


and I don't want to call shenanigans on the 'Black areas' but thinking he could dish out vengance as a lone white guy in those 'areas' sounds like him believing his own hype.


Phil Lynott, even a smacked out Lynott would have kicked his pasty arse anyhow

I don't think this story would have gone anywhere if he said "British Soldier, Protestant, Gypsey, etc," it would have just been taken as an admission to behaving in a terrible way as a young man which he now finds shocking.

Everyone wanting him drawn and quartered is definitely a closet racist, regardless of race.

Storm in a teacup.

I actually know two dads - White and Asian/Pakistani - who said similar things after their kids had been mugged by black gangs. They went out and felt like running over every group of black bods they saw, that's how much a rage they were in after seeing their boys harmed.

Like Neeson they didn't do anything and didn't "openly" hate black people.

Totally agree. Unfortunately and in hindsight, his mistake was sharing the story at all. By now it should be clear to him as well as to the rest of humanity that any story involving race... regardless of time, circumstances, or other elements.... is basically a call to arms of the different and opposing knee-jerk, extremist fanatics to RUN to their respective battle stations and begin lobbing the usual missiles at each other. BOTH f*cking sides... the victims and the deniers.
