Hello World

whaticantremembernow:

So let me just be 100 percent clear on the subject. If Liam Neeson had admitted to spending an entire week systematically hunting for a woman to hurt, much like Ted Bundy did, there would be no discussion, within hours of the admission, of whether or not the anger toward him was justified.

If Liam Neeson had casually volunteered during a MOVIE INTERVIEW, as a conversational anecdote, that he was stalking around the streets with rope in his hand, 40 years ago, hoping that some “bitch” would follow him to an isolated location so that he could hurt her, that would be very shocking and appalling to everyone.

Even if beforehand, he said it was because his girlfriend abused and traumatized him, so he turned his anger outwards and was blinded by rage. Even if he never actually found a woman who would go with him, so his plan ultimately failed.

Even if after the confession, he said, “and I’m very ashamed to admit that. And I got help with my anger very soon after.” That casual confession would still be pretty haunting wouldn’t it? Enough to cause anger and even cause people to shun him because who wouldn’t want to distance themself from this man who would admit such a disgusting thing so casually?

It’s become abundantly clear to me that violence against Black bodies does not provoke empathy in White and non black people so I’m phrasing it this way. And I frankly don’t care to change anyone’s mind on the subject. Just pointing out the sociopathy involved in asking Black people not to be angry or disgusted after what this man has just admitted to.

You can also substitute the black man with a gay man white man, there would be no argument.

A MOVIE WITH A PREDOMINANTLY BLACK CAST, A BLACK DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, SET DESIGNER, AND COSTUME DESIGNER JUST MADE 1 BILLION DOLLARS WITHIN A MONTH 

What were the black actors paid? Were they paid the same amount of money as white actors in other Marvel Studios’ super hero movies or is Disney going to pocket all of the money? Are like black people simply satisfied with making money fir the white people?
