@Ailyiaa@rubymorin05@THR@GMA That is a complete cop out. If you're 'dipping your toe into change' by making revelations to the media, then it's all about ego. This could've been a conversation with Viola Davis; oh, and books are a thing, too.
@Ailyiaa@rubymorin05@THR@GMA But where did I say that? I said, if he hadn't changed by the time he told this story, he's not likely to do so. Because this is DECADES and several national and international conversations on race later. What about this revelation would change him now (if he hadn't already)?
@Ailyiaa@rubymorin05@THR@GMA Yeah. Stalking the streets, armed inviting confrontation from a specific demographic isn't the move. People having an averse reaction to that UGLINESS is not the same.💁🏾♂️
@Ailyiaa@rubymorin05@THR@GMA You say that as if all the reactions have been hostile, though. They really haven't. And again, trauma doesn't manifest the same way in everyone. I'm not #TeamCancelHim, but I understand why some folks are and I'm not willing to judge or chastise then for it.
@Ailyiaa@rubymorin05@THR@GMA It's interesting how, in so many ways, his feelings and career seem to get centered in this conversation. Even though, as I've pointed out, he's not the first to go through this and face backlash. He'll be fine! But we still got black people being shot by angry white men in~
@Ailyiaa@rubymorin05@THR@GMA Again, this is completely irrelevant. It may have been Ireland, but there was a whole black part of town and he knew how to get there. I sincerely doubt his introduction to black people was his friend's rape, so that's bunk.
@Ailyiaa@rubymorin05@THR@GMA is, if he HADN'T changed by the time he told this story, he likely want going to. If people REALLY want to change, no amount of hurt feelings would alter that trajectory. They would seek to understand the reaction and do the work they need to do to be secure in themselves and,~
@Ailyiaa@rubymorin05@THR@GMA Because he took premeditated murder walks, essentially. He went to majority black areas with the racist assumption that some black guy would want to attack him, thereby giving him the opportunity to kill. People basically jeering him REALLY doesn't compare.
@Ailyiaa@rubymorin05@THR@GMA linger are wholly justified until those ills ceased, amends are made, and the wrongs are FULLY acknowledged by those who committed them. This differs from the Neeson situation because a specific man did his friend wrong and he was willing to murder ANY MAN of the same color~
