Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were expected to be the face of understanding, because when racism happens, the spotlight rarely stays on the act. It shifts to the reaction.

The burden moves from the offense to the offended, and we then have to prioritize everyone else’s comfort over our own hurt. Black people know that look they gave. The controlled pause, the tightened jaw, the professional decision to swallow your pride. Because within moments, the focus drifted away from the men who had to absorb the slur and toward protecting the person who said it. Explaining it. Contextualizing it. Cushioning it.

But we will say it for them: HELL NO. The BAFTA’s and BBC failed Michael, Delory, The Tourettes/Disabled Community and The Viewers.

[ESSENCE @Essence]

Yes, Tourette syndrome is real. We hold space for that. Coprolalia is real. We hold space for that. But so is history. So is the humiliation of having that word attached to your name in a viral clip that will live online forever

To Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, Here is the apology you are owed: We are sorry that during a historic awards season of the most nominated film in Oscar History that you have to endure this. We are sorry that the BAFTA and BBC allowed a racist remark to remain in program, while editing out “Free Palestine.” We are sorry to Ryan Coogler - that while celebrating your first Black achievement in cinema in 2026 - your film stars in that very same space can still be publicly hit with The N-Word.

We are sorry that the instinct was to protect the institution before protecting you, to demand your composure instead of their accountability.

The SINS of the forefathers apparently don’t die. They just find new stages to act on.

*Cut Scene* and *Fades to Black*

Trigger Warning: This post references a 400 year racial slur that has been used to dehumanize Black people. It also discusses Tourette syndrome and Coprolalia. If a social media post can provide this clarity, a global broadcaster on a 2 hour programming delay certainly could have. CC:BAFTA and BBC.

To be Black is to know that Grace will be demanded of you before accountability ever is.

And that’s exactly what played out on the BAFTA stage.

Culture shock..
All I know about Germans besides that fact that Jagermeister is their official umqombothi, often used as a ‘ welcome drink’ … is that you can never be late for an appointment, not even 1 min. They view it as rude rude rude..

Congratulations Ben Shelton and Karen Khachanov on a great tennis 🎾 game tonight!! I admire both me but alas there can only be 1 winner. Great sportsmanship as well. I know one female who played tonight that can learn a thing or two from both of them😆#NationalBankOpen

Congratulations Vikki Mboko on an amazing game against Osaka. Such a gracious winner and we wish you all the best for the future!! #tennis #NationalBankOpen2025

[Natoya Ammon @NatoyaAmmon]

Naomi Osaka such a sore loser and no sportsmanship.
She could have at least been gracious and thank the winner that she lost against ! #loser

A team of workers were on a job in Edmonton, Canada, when they saw through a window a library’s public piano. “I’d told my co-workers for years I played piano,” said Archie Gould of Venger Electrostatic Coating, “but never had an opportunity to show them”:

Ontario will no longer allow employers to require a sick note from a doctor for the provincially protected three days of sick leave workers are entitled to as part of a larger effort to ease the administrative burden on doctors https://t.co/1rwufW74cF
