This was suggested to me by another user in the current big thread about this. I haven't finished watching it yet. It's from Poddy Mouth, a black creator. Apparently the video has perspectives from black people with Tourette's included. Might be valuable in this moment.


This is a (very short, < 5 minutes) video from a black elected official with Tourette's. He takes the position that an acknowledgement or apology is necessary. I think this was before the subsequent statement mentioned in the video linked in the post title was made (the following day), so I don't know if that statement would meet the standard this person had in mind for addressing the harm caused.

As I said in my other comments, I don't have the energy right now to really engage with this discussion further, and I don't want to accidentally cause harm by doing so. I just thought this video also belonged in this thread. Also as I said, if you have other such videos please do post them in this thread or in their own post.

Edit: this video, similar to the one linked in the post title, I got from a comment by another user in the previous thread.


I have been asked by another user to include the following info in the post body, which might be relevant to the discussion.

i think you should link this article directly from the guy with tourettes in the post: https://archive.is/GS647

this bit in particular would be helpful i think

Since the fallout, Davidson’s team shares that he’s reached out to the studio handling “Sinners” in order to directly apologize to Jordan, Lindo and production designer Hannah Beachler.


It has been pointed out that the discussions that happened on this post can be hard to follow for people who did not see prior posts discussing this subject. I think I wanted to avoid encouraging directly transferring the arguments from prior posts, but that was probably ridiculous to think. I have added them below.

We are literally seeing the exact thing i am pointing out on hexbear

Is anyone on Hexbear saying ‘tourettes is equivalent to bigotry’? Because if not this is a wild reframing of the argument.

You're not fooling anyone here. You can see the posts, I can see the posts.

What posts are you talking about? You haven’t put up a single piece of evidence and keep posting vague bullshit that can easily pass as racist triangulation so show the fucking receipts.
