So? you can have the "say worst thing possible" disorder and still be a racist
A disabled person can be a lot of things, both good and bad, because they are a person. This comment of yours is completely meaningless.
Yeah? a disabled person can be racist that's what I'm saying, them having a disability doesn't mean they can't be racist
So you agree then, that a person's disability and their capacity for racism are two separate factors. Unless there is a different point you are making.
Yes? that's what I have been saying this whole time, him having tourettes doesn't mean he can't be racist, he can't control that he says it, but he can control other things, has to apologise to those he offended, afterwards to actually show he's not a racist.
I agree that an apology from him is necessary, considering the Black people that have been hurt by this. As far as I am aware (and I could be mistaken), John Davidson did indeed apologize for this incident, and he removed himself from the room when it happened.
Should he apologise every time his Tourettes makes him say something hurtful?
No, but in this case I think it's good to apologize for the harm done due to the nature of it, even though it was unintentional.
TBH the BAFTA organizers and broadcasters in particular really handled this as poorly as they could have. A lot could have been avoided by making sure people were informed and prepared, censoring the broadcast, better accommodations for Davidson to try to avoid this sort of scenario, etc. I think they milked this for the controversy on purpose and to distract from the censorship of pro-Palestine activism, there's no other explanation for the editing of the broadcast.
I think I agree. I just see a bunch of users going "he should apologize" and it's sort of like, they just want a person to annihilate themselves constantly apologising for their neurological disorder.

You might like this video. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it has some valuable perspectives. @Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net recommended it to me, it's by Poddy Mouth, a black creator, and includes the perspectives of black people with tourette's.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

?
Imagine weaponizing the very real suffering of Palestinian to put a POC in their place on a social media website.
Edit: warning that they're pretty terrible comments, if anyone reading this does look.
my bank account has the equivalent of 12.38 usd, and I have 7.69 usd on me in cash, I don't live in a country that easily allows me to send or receive money abroad, I didn't have enough money to afford my own schizophrenia medication or visits to the psychiatrist for a while no I don't have the money. so no, I don't have the money.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this shit, this place was supposed to be better
The only comments reported to mod chat and removed as soon as possible were the ones from splendid FWIW
I don't think it's fair to say the PoC in this thread are rage-baiting. It's dismissive and callous and not true.
people can be disabled or minorities and also bots that ragrbait we can have another thread on it once you all deal with yourbgenocide. your genocide you are actively committing and acting like smol besns about. makes me fucking sick thinking about you people gettign laser pointered by the olympics and all that. zero self awareness
True. What is the evidence of John Davidson's racism?
where did I mention his name?
🙄
