The ceremony aired on a two-hour delay on BBC One in the U.K. and on E! in the U.S. and yet the slur remained in the broadcast. Deadline noted that other remarks were censored, including the BBC cutting Akinola Davies Jr.’s “free Palestine” comment at the end of his speech.

I can excuse the dude with the verbal tic having an outburst, understandable. What gets my goat is that you fucks censored the Free Palestine comment instead.

If he's not screaming racial slurs at white people too, then yes in fact he is

Tho I'm graceful enough to allow that his racism is subconscious social conditioning compounded by his condition

Regardless, Black people or any POC are not obligated to stand there and take racial abuse on the chin, no matter how unintentional it is

The existence of a medical condition does give you a permission structure to harm other people

If he can't help but harm Black people when in their presence, then he should never have been in their presence in the first place, get a fuckin grip you blind ass cracker
