Haven't read the entire thing yet but it appears he was just telling an honest story from his past.

Is it really relevant what ethnicity the man was he was talking about??

Liam Neeson is facing accusations of racism over comments he made in an interview with The Independent in which he revealed he sought racially charged revenge after the rape of a loved one.


According to Neeson, following the incident, he responded by trying to seek revenge on a “black bastard” after learning the attacker was an African American man.


“I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be approached by somebody. I’m ashamed to say that, and I did it for maybe a week 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,” he said.


The story and the actor’s comments, which Neeson shared while promoting his new film Cold Pursuit, have resulted in a wave of backlash.


On social media, where Neeson’s story went viral, people immediately took offence to the Taken star’s comments.

Interesting

[Hman]

Things are different in Europe.

But some things you cannot say or reveal these days.

Even though it seems he was trying to be open and honest, it almost sounds the equivalent of a bank robber admitting he did it decades later.

[Hman]

Just read more of the story.

His friend was raped by a black guy so he was filled with hate at the time.

Looks like one of this cases where everyone is wrong.

Him for feeling that way specifically and the rest of us who judged so quickly without knowing the whole story.

But he didn't actually do anything. Most people will understand what he was thinking at the time. Nothing to see here.

Think we're way pass the point where we need differentiate between real controversies and "social media" controversies.

My only question now is...did they ever capture the rapist?

Agreed

The story obviously means more in the U.S. than it does over there

In Europe you can eat, watch, dress, and listen to any music you like without being judged like here.

instead of clarifying the issue and walking back this shit, he just doubled down on this pathetic bullshit on GMA

[MinnesotaFats]

Guy one of 3 bankable stars

Career fine

Libs killing babies and posing in kkk outfits and blackface

Hypocrisy gonna bring down left soon

[Auto Donk]

I laughed my ass of when uberdyke robin roberts asked him, "but would you have really beat up an innocent black man outside of a bar because of what another black guy did?" (hoping he'll respond with "oh, no, never", but instead he immediately responds without any hesitation absolutely yes!


david duke just nominated him for "honorary Grand Dragon" status

His publicist/agents must be drinking heavily right now.

I would release a statement saying he's suffering from exhaustion, and dehydration, and the story he told was actually a script he received for one of his revenge movies.

[danwinkler]

made up story to get free advertising for the movie....he is learning from trump to how to sell stuff using the soft liberals.

[thechaoz]

It's nothing
