He Yelled "N----er" At Two Black Oscar Nominees, No Apology Needed; We Beg To Differ
Published 6 hours ago
Description
Amy and T.J. discuss what wasn’t said in John Davidson’s statement after he shouted the N Word at acclaimed black actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA awards. While it’s true that Davidson - who suffers from Tourette Syndrome - could not control his outburst, it doesn’t mean it didn’t inflict harm. In his official statement, Davidson thanked the public for their support and said he’s spent his life teaching “empathy, kindness, and understanding from others, and I will continue to do so.” But what he didn’t say was “I’m sorry” or even acknowledge the names of Jordan and Lindo - to apologize for the painful humiliation they endured at his outburst.
