    People that threatened my life , slandered my name , released personal information . Yet again their excuse is the internet and they would never say those things in real life because they know they could be held accountable

    As a black man who works with a subset of people who have Tourette’s on the daily, honestly I won’t fully blame the man BAFTA and the other organizers on the other hand…disgraceful and possibly intentional oversight on their part

    Respect for also doing the work this is all I am saying

    It's the saying "two things can be true"

    Cool he said nigga cus of tourettes but how do we know he doesn't give a f*** that he called two black people a nigga?

    Thats my entire point of the lack of apology, you are now putting me in the position to ASSUME you have tourettes and arent ALSO racist when you very clearly can be a racist person who also has tourettes.

    At a certain point yall kind of unserious

    Example kids with autism sometimes physically slap or spit or other things do you recognize they don’t know their actions ?

  • Less surprising but still disheartening most of the empathy other white people extend online is to the assailant first and not the 2 black men on stage getting called a slur.

    Racism / anti-blackness is seen as nothing to so many I genuinely cannot believe were just meant to brush this off or worse be told how to feel about it

    Then how do we know he didn't mean it...

    they pre warned people about tourette’s and had the host explain after + the guy apparently left after he said it + it’s a known feature of tourettes to say things targeted at a person + it would make no sense for him to do that on what it probably the biggest night of his life

    i agree he should release a public statement but we don’t know if he said anything privately and the bbc should be cutting that on broadcast and the whole situation could have been avoided anyway

    you just said "im not against you" so wdym "yall"

    There is nothing wrong with the stance of believing someone can have tourettes and ALSO be racist. You do realize some racist people have tourettes?

    With the lack of apology, I don't have to give someone grace. It's that simple. And I'm not even in here spewing hatred towards the guy at all.

    I genuinely cannot believe the sentiment online from so many is to basically say anti-blackness is excusable, like he said a bad word and not a charged slur (intentional or not)

    They called me the r word many times for having autism and openly said they were edgy . I know exactly who they are

    this example doesn't work cus they're children that don't know better about their condition and need to be taught by responsible adults. this is a full grown man that advocates for his illness and was representing a movie about his life with it, he willingly put himself in that room knowing what he's capable of and allowed himself to do it for hours. i mean the idea of that is absurd man lmao

  • i wasn’t even gonna bring up dudes retárdation until i learned he didn’t apologize. so until he apologizes…oh well

    well we shall see, if he apologized privately I have no issue with that. I'm not of the stance of "I need to see a public apology!"

    But I just feel its human nature to naturally apologize for something that you didn't mean to do even if it's due to something out of your control

    I think it depends person to person honestly. You can’t really judge in a vacuum. Some autistic people do understand right from wrong.

    Trying to determine whether a person with Tourette’s is misogynist , homophobic , racist is the point of unserious . If they are diagnosed with the condition .

    Oh yes I know I worked with them for multiple years but it’s a process of getting them to understand . Progress isn’t linear and no matter what they can get over stimulated

    So basically what you're saying is, with the lack of apology, I'm suppose to always give the benefit of the doubt?

    my gripe is not with what happened but more so with the empathy extended to parties in this situation. Don't know if anyone feels the same way / gets what I mean

    There’s a part of this pathology that results in people saying or expressing horribly offensive things that aren’t in line with their actual desires or values, all im gonna say on the matter this s*** taking off in a different direction, I can understand and empathize but based off my own life experiences I can’t fully agree

    That’s not what I am saying either . I am saying this site has a profound misunderstanding of mental disabilities and conditions this has been known on here for years . It’s the one case this site is the LEAST progressive on by far .
