So liam neeson, what made you think this story was appropriate for this interview?

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/liam-neeson-interview-rape-trauma-racism-sexism-black-man-revenge-assault-a8764086.html

Having dated an Irish man myself who had an assault charge under his belt for defending the honour of a woman I understand the mindset liam Neeson has. But as I said to my partner, it still doesnt make it right.
Yes there are many people in this world that need to be taught a lesson, and they can walk through life Scot free never paying for their crimes or so we think. But we are not put on this earth to play God! Nor are we here to do God's work through punishing others. With that being said people are so happy to fuel hate, but ask them to show others love and compassion and they'll be recoiling and shrivelling up by the idea.

I will say this, the mindset of liam Neeson I do feel is violent, and I do feel is racist and by far ignorant.
Why because he didn't care who it was that he hurt, which tells me he doesn't view people as individual's, he lumps them all into one. (Because individual's from a group cannot think for themselves or think anything different? ) ignorant because perhaps he didn't have black friends or associations so dehumanizing them all makes it easier to kill one. And thirdly violent because he is showing signs that perhaps he had an underlying anger that he suppressed and perhaps that moment in time was the ammunition he needed to really dish out a good beating.

Now some my view what I have said and disagree but I'll tell you this. My relationship ended because he did think he was above everyone else, he talked about many things whilst we were together and we couldnt see eye to eye. He often talked to me as if I wasnt black but I was alright simply because I was dating him. Blanket terms are racist. And I couldnt stomach it, for much longer, maybe by him being with me made him feel even more of a cut above the rest because interracial dating is still fairly modern and he exceeded the preconceived notions he and his friends had about mixed relationships. Who knows, this isn't about him its about liam Neeson and his anger issues.

While understanding your points, I just think that some are making a big deal out of nothing really... if he went out there looking for a white man, then no one would say any of this... I believe that if we are looking for and seeking a world of equality, then we should not make a big deal out of this... just my thoughts, and I will say no more...

@Soossie if he made statements about it being a white man. We would be assessing this based upon his ignorance and his aggression and the impact it had on his desire to seek revenge not the addition of race. Which is precisely the same things I have addressed within this feed.

Other people are becoming sensitive because I am black and speaking out. Although they haven't actually said I'm using the race card they've gone the long winded way of doing so. Some resorting to very childish behavior to continue to perpetrate their views in regards to this.
@Peppa

Thank you... true words... I never liked the man and I always believed that he was an ignorant dumb... so, calling him a racist by many, seems to be abit unfair to the whole situation..
