Useless Genius

I have this disease that causes me to take absolutely nothing seriously unless it's seriously funny. Official Fangirl of: All things Marvel, Star Trek, Samcedes, Amber Riley, Leverage, Harry Potter, Heroes (Season 1), DBSK (5), too many animes to name, and, last but not least, just about every boyband started before 2005.

Honestly the way the BAFTAs were handled is just frustrating.

The audience were made aware that John Davidson had Tourette’s in advance, the film I, Swear is about his life. People with Tourette’s have no control over their language, it is a disability.

Unfortunately a racial slur was shouted when Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan were on stage. The slur yelled is undoubtedly offensive, however the BBC are apologising on behalf of the audience member for their disability and all the rest of the media are having a great time piling on about it because they get to share a video with a slur in it.

Actor Jamie Foxx has gone so far as to claim John Davidson ‘meant that shit.’ Something the media are delighted to report on in a way that definitely doesn’t (ha ha) cause additional harm.

Now the BBC could have edited it out, but they didn’t. What they did edit out however was when Akinola Davies said ‘Free Palestine’.

Editorial choices were made, and it’s sadly no surprise that the BBC chose to air a harmful racial slur and demonise a disability, and remove a call for an end to the active genocide taking place in Palestine.

Black People were subjected to racism

OP: OMG WHAT ABOUT PALESTINE?

Prick

I think you’re a deeply unserious person if that’s your reading of the above.

The racial slur used is disgusting, the man who used it has a specific disability which impacts his speech and makes him say abhorrent things.

The situation is awful. The BBC, selectively editing to cause wider outrage and create ‘sides’ in what is already a horrible situation is grim.

It’s led to that event and the slur being referenced to all across the media landscape with a lot of white journalists jumping at the chance to ask black people what they make of it.

[dicapiito]

Anyway, you’re definitely not a serious person.

Yelling slurs at Black People should’ve gotten his ass tossed the fuck out.

He’s lucky that the Black People in question didn’t break his jaw because it would’ve been well deserved

[ajarofpickledtears]

did you miss the part where the guy apparently has a disability that can cause people to say horrible things even if they don't mean them or are you just being ableist on purpose

[dicapiito]

I missed the part where no one protected Black People from racism

Davidson should not be in public since he clearly can’t handle the fact that Black People exist.

[titles-and-pretense]

But that's the part you don't seem to understand. Ticcing a slur does not mean the person believes it. You keep calling him a racist but just from a Tourettes tic you can't infer that.

[dicapiito]

He’s racist with a disability

This isn’t a hard concept to grasp

So it's okay that he incited death onto thousands of humans just because of petty differences and participated in the active promotion of policies that have and will kill people but it's not okay to rejoice at the end of all that vitriol and hate?

He would've and probably has laughed at the misfortune and death of anyone he doesn't consider worthy of basic human rights.

So why are we giving him the respect of a human being when he has denied the very same respect to others for a very long time?

THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING (CPB) IS SHUTTING DOWN. the cpb owns pbs and npr.

this means that plenty of small public media stations are in danger of being shut down.

npr is currently spending some of its budget to help support local public media stations that are at risk. if you have the means to donate, i highly encourage looking for your local public tv and radio shows and donating!

(you can also donate to npr and pbs, as well as american public media/apm)

I so wanted Peggy to have a viable unmarried love interest but a colorist racist mother in law is out of the question. Sorry doc, but you and your racist ass mom got to go.

I felt in season 2 Jack and Peggy had great chemistry, but they don't really see much of each other this season. They're both young, kind and ambitious. And most importantly, Jack's parents are gone, so it doesn't matter if they were racist or not.

That wedding scene made me cry so hard for Gladys. And her brother looking on with tears in his eyes was heartbreaking.
