Movies Tourette's Guy At Award Show...

Backlash mounts to Bafta N-word controversy as Jamie Foxx and Wendell Pierce criticise outburst
Foxx calls Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson’s shouts at the film awards ceremony ‘unacceptable’, while Sinners’ production designer criticises Bafta’s ‘throwaway’ apology

Foxx commented below a post about the incident on social media, saying, “Unacceptable” and “Nah he meant that shit”. Journalist Jemele Hill said on social media: “Black people are just supposed to be ok with being disrespected and dehumanised so that other people don’t feel bad”, and actor Wendell Pierce said: “It’s infuriating that the first reaction wasn’t complete and full throatted [sic] apologies to Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan. The insult to them takes priority. It doesn’t matter the reasoning for the racist slur.”
Sinners’ production designer Hannah Beachler said on social media that she had also had a racial slur directed at her, and criticised what she called the “throwaway” apology. “I know we must handle this with grace and continue to push through. But what made the situation worse was the throwaway apology of ‘if you were offended’ at the end of the show.”




These people are retarded
The response from black Americans has honestly been the worst. Hopefully John Davidson is doing okay after the incident as apparently he decided to leave early because of it. Poor guy

What a moron.

He gets ni**er shouted at him and he’ll likely be the one forced to make a public apology.

The irony is, he was there as his film about ignorance surrounding the condition was nominated.
 
People and their imaginary ass causes, now this guys a hero cause he gets to be a racist asshole in public and thats so brave


<lmao> <lmao> <lmao> <lmao>



Ole Pete been doing that shit since way before it was fashionable, wheres my parade
 
You know in some cases people develop tourettes and psychical ticks just by being around someone who has it by watching them. Usually with children though

It's like when you are talking to someone who blinks in a weird way and now suddenly you are conscious of your own blinking. Which breaks the auto flow and for a brief moment you are weird as well. But on a much deeper level
