Liam Neeson Was One Sentence Away From Being A Hero To Women Or A Racist

Here is my big revelation regarding Liam Neeson. He was one sentence away from being praised by a different group.Think about it. If Liam Neeson, while promoting his movie about revenge, said "I once had a female friend back in Ireland, who was raped and I was so angry I walked the streets of my city looking for the guy so I could beat him to death" Mr. Neeson would be cheered for standing up for women. But because the guy who assaulted his friend happened to be black, people are more concerned about him beating a black guy up more than just the fact that he went out looking to beat someone up at all. Just because he mentioned a race (which i admit, I would not have done) we're more focused on Liam attempting a hate crime, that never happened. and we are forgetting that he stopped himself and called it stupid and found shame in his own action 40 YEARS AGO no less.

No matter how we tell the story, even people who are angry at Liam have always said, "well maybe he was just going out in anger for what a guy did to his friend" still are leaning towards the facts that it was a problem of THOUGHT that he self course corrected, thankfully before he did anything to anyone. White people, especially those with a history of prejudice/racism, who call it out and show growth and say, "that was bad and the old me" are given props and credit all the time. Now that we're in a Social Media "I wanna see the world burn environment", it's just become another form of entertainment to see if he can be punished for thinking. The only public relations mistake he made was mentioning a race. Mistake or not, it was still a fact.

Yes, it could have been delivered better but are we forgetting something? if this really happened it means that its possible that a guy who rapes women in Ireland never was procecuted and probably did it again. Liam was one sentence away from being a champion for women and because of that sentence is being accused of racism. I don't know too many racists who would work with as many minorities as he has worked with. I for one won't co-sign on his punishment because of a thought that many of us have had and probably will have again if the same situation occurred. Are we really going to start invoking thought police? If actions speak louder than words then how the hell can a thought that never took action (so to speak) can be amplified to these extremes?

NBC Should Give Tamron Hall Her Show, A Raise & An Apology Because Of Megan Kelly

I have no sympathy for Megan Kelly right now. As you will see on my podcast and Facebook Live posts on the subject. This was the moment in Kelly's episode after she made her remarks on blackface and the people she was okay with doing it on Halloween, where she had already forgave herself. In a world where you had forty plus years of knowing the historic relevance on this subject how how it has hurt and killed so many people in our country. Megan Kelly used her audience, especially the women of color sitting in the crowd as a shield on her credibility, her integrity and her truth. She forgot where she was and reminded us of the person she has always been since before Fox. This woman was able to get a huge contract on NBC taking away beloved Tamron Hall.

I believe Tamron Hall is owed an apology. She should be brought back for the exact same dollar amount that Kelly given, if not more Megan Kelly was never received well by the audience of NBC and MSNBC and her ratings showed it. The fact that it took Megan Kelly having a real moment on the network is more telling on the network. You get what you over pay for. I don't feel that Megan Kelly should be fired for what she said because its arguable that she was hired on the same foundation. This is the woman who argued that black men can not be Santa Clause. Her telling you that she grew up in a community that felt that as long as it is done "Respectfully" blackface was okay. She told a truth. A truth that lives in the bubbled community and upbringing she experienced. NBC knew of this before hiring her so why fire her?

Ultimately its because of the backlash, ratings and the comments. Not particularly in that order but over all it was the perfect straw to break the back. It seems that fans of NBC only had to wait a very short while to get the end result they knew was inevitable. I call for a complete reversal on the issue and implore NBC humble themselves and give Tamron her show back and issue an apology for creating an obvious hostile work environment.

I don't know if Hall would even return, few people have, but if there was ever a moment of a triumphant return that would be an obvious rating boost, its here and now. Megan Kelly forgave herself before her apology. That was also clear. She didn't see the big deal until the outrage threatened her big deal with the network. How do you see something one way for your whole life then take a little flack and in less than twenty four hours completely understand all of a sudden as if the statement of how it was not a big deal in the past suddenly wasn't always a complete fantasy. The truth is, it was alway a major damn deal. To the country, to the people of color it was aimed at hurting and if you feel that pretending to be a black person is a game then let the cops question you for walking on the side walk to your house and treat you like a criminal. Go to a job interview where you're the most qualified and not get the job for "unknown reason". Let your vote be suppressed and have white men, like Megan, constantly call the police on you for doing normal things and tell me then if its just fun and games.

Its easy to not see it as a big deal when you will gladly wash it off at the end of the day even if you did experience those things when you put the color on your skin. The feeling you must have knowing that its just one night and will wash off must be comforting but there are people in the world who will die black by hateful acts only because they were born black. That is not to be joked about for your entertainment. if you had a career of saying the things black people have been complaining about is not a big deal and then want to give yourself a controlled and self serving life lesson at another network who's team, sponsors and audience won't tolerate the rhetoric then your insta-apology is nothing more than just damage control and more insulting than the idiotic statement made the day before. I'm more offended by the apology. At least you weren't perpetrating a fraud.
