Liam Neeson is in serious hot water State-side over his comments about wanting to murder a random black man to avenge his friend’s rape.
Neeson has made worldwide headlines today after he declared that when he found out his friend was raped by a black man that he roamed black communities with a cosh hoping to find a black man to start a fight with him so he could kill.
He declared that he’s not a racist on Good Morning America this morning but that wasn’t enough for Piers Morgan.
Morgan said in his Daily Mail piece:
“Sorry Liam Neeson, but if you talk like a murderous racist, behave like a murderous racist, and now cynically use your murderous racism to sell a movie… then you’re guilty of being a murderous racist”
He went on to say that:
“Neeson doesn’t equivocate: he wanted to exact revenge for his friend’s rape on ANY black person he could find that gave him any excuse to commit murder.
And this wasn’t a temporary moment of emotion-raging madness that lasted a few seconds or minutes.
This was a period of an entire week during which Neeson marched around with his cosh, seeking out an innocent ‘black bastard’ to kill.”
He continued:
“It’s the purest example of racism imaginable: a white man looking to indiscriminately murder any black person he finds in seven days who ‘provokes’ him in any kind of way.
Let’s be brutally honest: this is the kind of thing you might expect a Klansman from the Ku Klux Klan to say, and the kind of thing you might expect a Klansman from the Ku Klux Klan to do.”
