It's an awful situation. Unequivocally fuck the BBC and BAFTA, who showed they could exercise editorial censorship when they omitted Free Palestine. And while a warning was given to attendants, it should've been more explicit.

But the amount of ableism I've seen is pretty maddening. People will say they understand tourettes with one breath and then ask why he wasn't calling white presenters crackers.

I have sympathy for everything listed above, and fuck the right wingers going "oh but you say it in your rap music" but this is just as much a conversation about disability as it is about race. The man has been hospitalized multiple times because of scenarios like this.
