These ignorant fools don't even express righteous rage. All they want to do is grab a witless MEME and post to a few thousand like-minded morons.
If you missed the OUTRAGEOUS story, Liam Neeson did an interview and somehow, BEING HONEST, mentioned a situation where he was human.
We're not talking about Mark Wahlberg who was an actual Boston thug targeting blacks and hurting them.
The story is that a friend of Liam's was raped by a black guy.
Liam, prefacing this by admitting to his SHAME in thinking such thoughts, had the impulse to go after a black guy. Any black guy.
It's called a thought of revenge. Just a thought.
Several news Tweets showed a photo of Neeson and a NON-SENSATIONAL blurb of, something like, "I felt shame that I wanted to go after any black man."
His actual quote was not remotely about going out and grabbing some INNOCENT man who happened to be BLACK and thrashing him:
He said that several times he went out to a seedy part of the city “hoping some ‘black bastard’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could…kill him.”
After a few of these raging incidents, where no doubt his size and his demeanor prevented anyone of any race or color starting up with him, he said "I came to my senses," sought the advice of a priest, and worked out his anger.
He admitted he wanted to get revenge AND he admitted that this was a SHAMEFUL thought.
Even the skimpiest headlines mentioned the man's self-admitted "shame" and the fact that he didn't attack any innocent black in revenge on the attack on an innocent white.
Nah, not good enough for the yahoos who flooded Twitter with their memes.
The point? Not even anger. Just a kind of bullshit "Oh, see, white people hate us deep down. They all do. Scratch the surface and they be racists." And on and on.
Along with the sulking self-pity that black people are treated badly just because they're black. Like President Obama. Like Oprah Winfrey. Like all the black basketball players that Jack Nicholson and Woody Allen and the rest of the courtside white people worship so much.
No, no. Liam Neeson is pissed off that his friend was raped and...
...and NOBODY stops to think that maybe, just maybe, the black rapist was targeting a white girl?
Can we be HONEST and say that the odds were better than 50-50 that the guy was a RACIST RAPIST?
Eldridge Cleaver. Remember him? The great book "Soul on Ice." He admitted to raping white women and targeting white women. And why not? The black man was a slave to the whites, so let's have some revenge.
Anybody calling Eldridge Cleaver a racist? Anybody banning his books?
No, Eldridge Cleaver is considered right up there with Malcolm X as a great, great man. Malcolm, so often spoken of in the same breath as Dr. Martin Luther King. But Dr. King never shouted about Jew bastard landlords, and Jew bastards who were born well after the Muslims and are inferior, and Blue-Eyed White Devils.
That's ok.
You can scream HE A RACIST and deny your own racism.
In this case, you can have some fun with your witless stupid-faced memes:
It's one thing to feel rage or frustration, it's another to just keep finding excuses to feel sorry for yourself, claim the deck is stacked, and ignore the truth. Ignore Neeson's "shame" and his honesty, and just read what you want to read.
Then lapse into ghetto talk. SAY WHAT? He said WHAT, Y'ALL?
And what kind of answer is showing ignorance, not reading a news piece, and just wanting an excuse to flash a MEME and get either laughs, self-pity, or both?
Anyone thinking about the victim in this case? No. Not a thought about the victim. Playing the race card is much more fun than caring about a brutal attack that is not about sex as much as it is about control, submission, anger and hate.
This wasn't about Neeson angry because a white woman had a black boyfriend. He was angry because his friend was the victim of a vicious assault.
Maybe the MEME pushers would just laugh: she's an ugly Irish bitch. She's lucky she got any sex at all. Har har
You've heard the term "UGLY IRISH BITCH" used by somebody black recently? Azalea Banks a few weeks ago. Some stewardess aboard Aer Lingus is "an UGLY IRISH BITCH." That's OK. Banks went on an intense racist rant which was NOT called an intense racist rant. She's allowed. Because she's black.
Nobody called for a boycott of Azalea Banks. Not Peter Gabriel. Not Roger Waters. Not Patti Smith. No BDS sanctions here. No "let her take her racism out of the UK and make her rapper money singing to other racists."
Not at all.
The rush to judgment, or rather, the rush to idiot bug-eyed MEMES and other funny-face fotos, proves that these people have a rage. It's a rage others are supposed to tolerate. Liam Neeson, who already expressed "shame" over his very human reaction to a traumatic incident, should now indulge in some public self-flagellation and donate $50,000 to a black charity and admit that deep down, HE A RACIST. And only him. Not the rapist who just MIGHT have targeted a white girl just like the great Eldridge Cleaver.
One way that we attain equality is to finally stop the double standards. Did any of those meme posters for an INSTANT think that the black rapist targeted the white victim, or that if he did, he really had no justification for it? That this white girl had done nothing to him? If they thought that for a second, they wouldn't have hurried to their little folder of stupid-ass MEMES and gotten a post, and then breathlessly checked to see how many re-Tweets and likes they got.
Neeson appeared on "Good Morning America" and re-iterated the truth of his emotions. The newspapers picked it up, and tried (we don't pay proofreaders anymore) to copy down what he said. No, "surface" is what he said, not "service."
Neeson's point was how he, and most everyone has racist thoughts no and then. Own up to it and understand that it's only human.
Also understand that racism means that a white tourist in a country "of color" might be attacked because of race. That the history of HUMANITY involves Mongol hordes, conquerors, settlers, and people taking over the lands of others, and people being hostile to anyone who looked different, and mixed marriages leading to violence.
Would these MEME people EVER own up to their own racism, or ever feel any SHAME over their feelings, the way Neeson expressed his shame? They don't look for excuses to blame anyone white? They don't see that the problem goes beyond race itself, and that two different types of Muslims war with each other, that the Boko Haram maniacs kill their fellow Nigerians, or that Palestinians and Israelis who sometimes look alike, are killing themselves while Asians or whites or Blacks stare at them in disbelief?
Neeson could've said, "Man, I wanted to find a black guy, any black guy, and do some damage, but I didn't." And left it at that. Instead, he said he felt SHAME in having those emotions. And for his honesty, he got ridicule, cheap shots, and who knows, is that guy going to be shouted down on the street for the next week? Subjected to cranks and trolls? Because of his honesty?
It's time to stop the free passes, and use TRUTH, which is the best friend of EQUALITY.
If you'd like an example of honesty, and healing, and positive emotions, look to yesterday. Sunday. The Super Bowl.
Gladys Knight chose to sing "The National Anthem." She wanted people to hear her, and feel her pride in America, and in the positive things about this country. She didn't take a knee in sulkiness. Nor did she raise a fist in rage. She sang. Beautifully. She was applauded by one and all.
