I agree just because someone with Tourette's called you a slur doesn't mean they meant it. You lose me completely when you say we should have empathy for a slur slinger but NOT for the people who were called a slur at a peak career moment w/o apology

Like okay it wasn't on purpose, cool, he's not racist, cool but who are you to say it s not a big deal? Who are you to say "he's humiliated but the people he called a slur will be fine"???

So we agree he should apologize to Lindo, Jordan and the costumer director from sinners whom he said it towards because of the impact that the word carries because it’s a harsh word historically meant to demean and dehumanize black people and the last thing he’d want as person that because of his disability has probably experienced demeaning words and dehumanization is to pass it onto others.

we can have empathy for both! moral of the story: broadcasting company should have bleeped it out. it was offensive but also involuntary. obv the impact was bad but there was zero intent.

Yeah but even if he didn't apologize, this post is directed at people coming to his defense saying he shouldn't apologize and that the people who called slurs shouldn't be offended

His statement wasn’t even an apology and he didn’t acknowledge Lindo or Jordan. Anyone who saying he doesn’t have to apologize are justifying that his feelings are valid than that of the people on the receiving end and that i disagree with.

Notice how the post doesn't say that we can't and it's actually racist to respond "we can have empathy for both!" when exactly what I'm pointing out is white people have empathy for a man with Tourette's being "humiliated" for calling people slurs but not for the people who were actually called slurs. It's tone deaf. You don't need to announce we need to have empathy for both when it's already clear that the masses have empathy for one and not the other

Like even in your response, putting "but" after it's offensive and the impact was bad and before it was involuntary and unintentional means that you clearly have more empathy for one group than the other and you're brushing it off. At least if you're gonna pretend to give a fuck, use the word "and" or at least switch the order on what comes before and after "but" every once in a while

This is still racist lol you're being so dismissive when people are telling you you're being racist and you don't give a fuck. This is exactly why I made the post. It was about you! Fuck off
