BAFTA Apologizes to Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo and Takes ‘Full Responsibility’ for N-Word Outburst: ‘We Will Learn From This’

Really good article about the “n word" uttered at Michael B Jordan in the BAFTAs last night and why tourette's is not a valid excuse or reason, individually, or societally.

"Who taught him the N-word? Where did he hear it? How often was it circulating in his world? How often does it still circulate in his world? In what tone? In what context? These are legit sociological questions.

Even with his disability, Davidson is still a white man who knows that word. Tourette’s may explain the release, but it does not explain the racial architecture that made that word available to him. Disability does not override the social world in which someone was raised. And it does not place anyone outside the history of race. And while the utterance may have been involuntary, the impact was not, and it does not erase responsibility for the harm that lands.”

@blackspectrumscholar, Black Royalty, shared the text and image below.

[Over 75% white] people when the natural consequence of doing something racist (even if unintended) is being perceived as racist.

Racist harm is not determined by the perpetrator’s intent, but by the impact of the action itself.
