Clearly. Thats just him wanting to sound tough. If he really wanted it he could've gotten it. But this ain't a movie and he knows it might not have went the way he wanted.I call bullshit. Not so much on the story but the fact that he was actually really looking for "any" black person to kill.
He wasnt going to go through with that shit.
Yeah I wanna know where he was that he felt like saying some shit bound to be blown up. I've never seen TAKEN so I guess I don't feel as betrayed as people who seem to have loved his work lolDude probably isn't racist but we all think some fucked up shit in our sub conscious but some shit you should keep to yourself.
Well, won't be watching any more of his movies
This is the same thinking that got cities like Rosewood in Florida destroyed.
It’s hard to put the genie back into the bottle nowLiam Neeson says he's 'not racist' after rape comments in interview

Actor Liam Neeson has denied he is racist, after admitting he once set out to kill an innocent black man.
Neeson has been facing a major racism storm since he made the comments in an interview, published by The Independent on Monday.
He said he walked the streets with a weapon around 40 years ago, hoping to take out his anger after someone close to him was raped by a black man.
But speaking on ABC's Good Morning America, Neeson said: "I'm not racist."
The Hollywood star told ABC's Robin Roberts on Tuesday that around 40 years ago, one of his close female friends told him she had been raped.
That friend, Neeson added, passed away five years ago.
Neeson said his friend's alleged rape made him want to take violent action.
He said: "I had never felt this feeling before which was a primal urge to lash out, and I asked her, 'did you know the person, was it a man?' No. 'Race?' She said it was a black man."
The actor said he "went out deliberately into black areas in the city looking to be set upon so that I could unleash physical violence".
He added: "I did it maybe four or five times."
The Taken star claimed he would have acted in the same way if his friend's assailant had been white.
He told ABC: "If she had said an Irish or a Scot or a Brit or a Lithuanian I would - I know I would - have had the same effect. I was trying to show honour, to stand up for my dear friend in this terribly medieval fashion."
Neeson said of his actions: "It shocked me and it hurt me. I did seek help."
The actor said he went to confession, and went power walking for two hours every day, to try to work through his anger.

That shit that goes down in every major city in the US. Yet somehow Chicago is head and shoulders above a place like New York when it comes to black men getting murdered. The major difference is the gang culture and the indifference for black lives. That behavior is taught not adapted. Like I said people are fucked up all over. But why is it that the men and women in Chicago are killing each other so much more than the disenfranchised citizens of every other major city.
Interesting Liam that you felt THIS was the best time to share this tale...
During THIS administration...
And right after you make your FIRST movie with a Black love interest?
Ain't no stunt men in real life...He woulda killed all u niggas

I would agree with You.
But as I stated in my post,
I think "COLD PURSUIT" will do huge numbers now because of Neeson's revelations.
Going to that film will be seen as a show of support and forgiveness.
Now wherever Black Movie-goers stand is another story.
Dude does have a Black Fanbase.
Depends on your definition of "huge numbers"...
first off its Feburary which traditionally is a shit time of year for the box office so it won't have much competition anyway until Battle Angel Alita
second off...how much money does his movies cost to make any goddamn way? His old ass got a audience so they will go see some cheap ass movie where his old ass his running around just because he's in it...ala Madea
Third, ain't no real niggas that's into movies paying any goddamn money to see Liam Neeson in the same goddamn move every year.....Taken among the Tombstones, Taken on a plane, Yaken in the 90s, Taken on a train, Taken with some wolves and now.....Taken in the snow.....fuck outta here
