So 40 years ago he said he wanted to kill a black man in revenge for the rape of a close friend...thankfully he didn’t act out his feelings. He explained that he knows he was wrong, how he dealt with it and that he’s not that person from 40 years ago...... Predictably, he’s been jumped on from a great height , film premiere cancelled, howls of faux outrage from the usual suspects. Were his comments careless in this MeToo, BLM age?...yep....was this maybe a bit of bravado to help sell his film?....probably. Racist? ....no, not if you take the whole piece into context and not just cherry pick.
I heard a comment on Youtube from a popular vlogger in the US who said that the current generation of youth are the first in modern times to want to restrict free speech...seems to be going that way.

Considering the biggest danger to black people is black people, I don't think Liam Neeson merely thinking about it is worthy of the news.
Meanwhile endless hoaxes of white on black violence keep happening in America but the media doesn't want to cover the bit where it's all found out to be bullshit. It's not 1922 anymore and people aren't being lynched from trees.
"According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites"
Well fuckadoodledoo.
"According to FBI data analyzed this year by the Washington-based Violence Policy Center, there were 7,014 black homicide victims in the United States in 2015." 95% of which are killed by other blacks.
Getting harder to pull data on this sort of thing off Google as well. SJW searches dominate. The first two couple of pages of results to pull those figures was all 'blacks being shot by police' type results. Very worrying that information is being controlled by these people.

I've not paid too much attention to this but sounds like self promotion stunt for his latest film gone wrong.

Two things struck me. Firstly, so what if thats what he thought, he never acted on it. Secondly, his acting roles of late have been shite so he'll be grateful for the publicity.

Even my wife, who normally defends all this shite, said it was a storm in a teacup.
Predictably the film he is promoting is apparently crap.
We'd all be locked up if it was against the law to have evil thoughts.
