He clearly told this story as a cautionary tale, we all have dark thoughts and feelings, we should not let them take over us. Whoever here said he hasn't project anger or frustration in a negative manner trough its life time; is either a liar, or has the most boring life ever. We are humans, we screw up, we can learn from those mistakes, you all making it impossible for people to come out and have a sincere conversation
Not even sure why someone would make a big deal out of this

The original post I quoted suggested that Neeson would be "rejected" by the left and fall into the hands of the right wing. All I said was that IF he's a real ally he wouldn't fall into their hands.
Celebrities generally don't throw out their thought-tentacles like this on the regular.

The cautionary tale is great and that bit of the story isn't the bit people have a problem with. It's the fact that the second question News on asked his friend after he found out she got raped was the colour of the guys skin. Now in the other thread we established that about 0.01% of the population of Northern Ireland at the time was black, so why the fuck would that be his first question? His continued inability to address the obvious premeditated prejudice he had towards black people is what is winding people up and making them realise what a racist piece of shit he is.Uugg all of you sanctimonious zealots are the reason we have trump and the alt right in the presidency

If I came up to you and said "I wanted to kill the first black person I saw 30 years ago.", you would raise more than an eyebrow at me. You don't see the big deal with this???Uugg all of you sanctimonious zealots are the reason we have trump and the alt right in the presidency

I ain't even surprised at the kind of understanding this man is getting. It's about what I expect. Any black person, or any person of colour frankly, should long know by now that the same rules don't apply to you. You will never, ever get this kind of leeway for similar remarks. It'll be game over as soon as you put that shit out in the open. That's the racist ass world we live in.
Yes how sanctimonious of us to be put off at a story about hunting innocent black people. My outrage at the idea that myself, my family or anyone with my skin color could be stalked and killed be men just like Neeson is what put Trump in the White House. Not at all the thousands on thousands who, just like Neeson thought, believe that black life has no value and voted accordingly. No you're right my SJW, PC attitude towards respecting marginalized people's right to exist literally took physical form and walked to the polls to cast a ballot for Trump. It literally called the phone of every white supremacist to come to Charlottesville and run over protesters.Uugg all of you sanctimonious zealots are the reason we have trump and the alt right in the presidency

What does it say about people when "I was working on killing a black person, but I power walked it out" damn near gets you a medal?So many wanting to clap him for saying this shit. So many white dudes are saying what he did was good. Then you got the black dudes saying it wasn't his fault he was racist who are given air time.
Whole thing is waste
The only thing I can possibly think with whats going through his head is that he'd have done it with any group described to him.
Revenge killings between Protestants & Catholics was common in Ireland so could possibly have extended here.
Though I feel with the way the interview went that might be a stretch
He should have been pressed on it at the time
As is though it's a career ender.
Yeah he will continue making the same movie way pass the time they start premiering in the Walmart dvd bin and CrackleThis is most certainly not a career ender. Neeson is a well loved white actor. He'll continue his current press junket for his current movie and this will fall forgotten. Most white people aren't even seeing his 40 y/o anecdote as an act of explicit racism but instead as a powerful show of growth.
The more I think about this story the more it smells like bullshit. It doesnt make any sense for NI at that time to ask about race. And you could stalk the streets for a month of Sundays and you wouldn't see a person of colour. He'd know that of course.
On the other hand I can't think of a good reason why someone would make up such a crazy racist story.

Shittty lynching literally was a saturday afternoon for the family not too long ago. And they use to take home parts of the bodyBecause the stereotype of black people raping women is well known, and also, our lives don't matter much, so stalking us and killing us isn't seen as a big deal. Especially when you frame it as a moment of personal growth.
Yeh it weird as hell. "I wanted to kill a random black dude but didn't" then couple million people clap him and say how great he isWhat does it say about people when "I was working on killing a black person, but I power walked it out" damn near gets you a medal?
This is the film industry in 2019. Him being 66 is going to come closer to ending his career than this will unfortunately
