Liam Neeson premiere cancelled: New York premiere of new film Cold Pursuit called off after 'black b******' remarks
The New York premiere of Liam Neeson's new film has been cancelled at the last minute after he admitted he once sought to "kill" a "black b******" as revenge for a friend's rape.

The premiere was abruptly cancelled amid a fallout from the actor's comments about decades-old thoughts he had about killing a black person.
Organisers of the New York premiere of Cold Pursuit informed reporters of the cancellation on Tuesday afternoon, a couple hours before it was supposed to start.
The cancellation comes hours after Neeson appeared on Good Morning America to address his comments, telling interviewer Robin Roberts that he is not a racist.
He was quoted in an interview by the Independent on Monday describing his violent thoughts about killing a black person nearly 40 years ago after learning that someone close to him had been raped.
The actor told Roberts discussion about these things is needed because bigotry and racism exist.
why now though? he has been tomming and jumping in and out a closet for a few yearsOh OK now he gotta go.
tales of a cock sucker still in recovery
They already starting to change the narrative...he didn’t go looking for the specific guy that did the rape...he wanted to attack ANY BLACK PERSON he came across in their neighborhood.
Mofos already trying to clean up the bullshit...
And Terry Crews...SMH...
While this isn't much better, I really don't see, race aside, how it's any really different than a gang member going into rivals hood hoping to catch someone.
Man white people I swear

European colonizers killed so many Native Americans that it changed the global climate, researchers say

(CNN)When Europeans arrived in the Americas, they caused so much death and disease that it changed the global climate, a new study finds.
European settlers killed 56 million indigenous people over about 100 years in South, Central and North America, causing large swaths of farmland to be abandoned and reforested, researchers at University College London, or UCL, estimate. The increase in trees and vegetation across an area the size of France resulted in a massive decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, according to the study.
Carbon levels changed enough to cool the Earth by 1610, researchers found. Columbus arrived in 1492,
"CO2 and climate had been relatively stable until this point," said UCL Geography Professor Mark Maslin, one of the study's co-authors. "So, this is the first major change we see in the Earth's greenhouse gases."
Before this study, some scientists had argued the temperature change in the 1600s, called the Little Ice Age, was caused only by natural forces.
But by combining archaeological evidence, historical data and analysis of carbon found in Antarctic ice, the UCL researchers showed how the reforestation -- directly caused by the Europeans' arrival -- was a key component of the global chill, they said.
"For once, we've been able to balance all the boxes and realize that the only way the Little Ice Age was so intense is ... because of the genocide of millions of people," Maslin told CNN.
The methodology
Researchers analyzed Antarctic ice, which traps atmospheric gas and can reveal how much carbon dioxide was in the atmosphere centuries ago.
"The ice cores showed that there was a larger dip in CO2 (than usual) in 1610, which was caused by the land and not the oceans," said Alexander Koch, lead author of the study.
A small shift in temperatures -- about a 10th of a degree in the 17th century -- led to colder winters, frosty summers and failing harvests, Koch said.
The implications
The implications of the study go beyond climate science and also contribute to research in geography and history, Maslin said, noting that deaths of indigenous Americans directly contributed to the success of the European economy.
Natural resources and food shipped from the New World helped Europe's population to expand. It also allowed people to stop farming for sustenance and begin working in other industries for spare money.
"The really weird thing is, the depopulation of the Americas may have inadvertently allowed the Europeans to dominate the world," Maslin said. "It also allowed for the Industrial Revolution and for Europeans to continue that domination."

thats some deep shit... in order for cacs to dominate the world had to experience a mini ice age..
now that the world is warming UP what is that telling you...
Ill tell you what its telling you, its karma coming back to claim whats hers..
and the more they try and fight it, the faster she will wield her sword of balance...
somebodys time is up.. and it aint the "black" guys!!!
Not that I ever paid to watch any of his movies anyway.
And terry crews on some next level I lu massa shit.
I just don't know anymore. With all the evidence in front of us, we still have some fools out here drinking the kool-aid with gusto.
The newest appointed captain of the Coon Squad ...
You confuse people not standing for shit with getting their feelings hurt.Some of my people can still get their feeling hurt over something a white person does, says or thinks about black people.
The love of YT runs so damn deep.
Brethens, they all feel this way toward you. Even those white bitches you laying up with.
I don't like what he said, but I respect he was honest and knows what he was feeling was wrong. It shows growth.
A lot of folks on this board may not have jobs if what you have said regarding white folks and immigrants were publicly known, so I'd calm down a bit before throwing stones.
It's funny because y'all (speaking generally) will talk about and condemn white folks who don't want to have black inlaws or Co workers, but will call black women bed wenches all day long, and complain about having to work with white folk. Y'all group together white folks every day, say no white or immigrant person mean any good for a black person, that white men are savages who destroy every culture they get in contact with, and white folks are xyz without a thought.
People, including black people, have been socially conditioned to view the acts of individual blacks and other minorities as a reflection/judgment on the entire group, while white folks, usually men, stand as individuals. (You can't mess up at xyz or they will never hire another black person/woman. We cant hire any more black folks or xyz because we hired one once and they were a thief. ) The only mass association we have for white men are pedophiles, and domestic terrorists, and that is mostly from the view of minorities, white folks don't hold those same views of themselves.
So imo, let him be. If he can speak out what others have thought and felt, probably currently at that, and they too recognize that this is wrong thinking and correct course, then so much the better. I don't think he should be punished over this, I think he should be used as a tool against racism.
Slight correction, I think Liam said he was going to attack the first one who started something, so he was hoping someone would start something while he was walking around so he'd have the excuse.
While this isn't much better, I really don't see, race aside, how it's any really different than a gang member going into rivals hood hoping to catch someone.
The difference is that he took an action. Everyone has prejudices about things, spoken & unspoken...that’s part of being human.
However, only Liam decided to plan to attack a random person based on hearsay & obvious racial stereotypes.
Black folks used to get lynched behind shit like that & you giving him a pass. You need to check yourself, fam. For real.

Yep...the only reason Liam didnt follow through is because he couldnt find any Black people or no Black people messed with him....messed with in this case could be as simple as accidentally bumping into this clown and then suddenly you are fighting to the death...Liam really expressed some outrageous shit and didnt apologize for the racial aspect of it eitherThe difference is that he took an action. Everyone has prejudices about things, spoken & unspoken...that’s part of being human.

Thankfully nothing came of it, but if we aren't going to give people space to evolve in their thinking, grow, lean, change, and speak out against their past thinking and behavior, what's the point? We say all the time that white folks need to get the racism of other white folks in check. What is the incentive for other white folks to say "I used to be like you and do or think xyz, but I was wrong, this is why, and you should change your thinking, too" if they are going to be shunned for doing so? His anger was misdirected, and if he had actually hurt someone that would be a different issue, but we can't say we want white folks to change and get mad when they do and admit it.
This is the same attack used against black folks, especially black folks with a criminal record. They did xyz so now they are irredeemable, can never be trusted, they get shut our of employment almost ensuring they have to continue to stay part of the criminal element because they are shunned.
I'm not saying people should kiss his ass for becoming a decent human being, but when you have a story of change for the better, I don't think he should be treated like he was roaming the streets yesterday or actually followed through. His original mindset came "naturally" to him as it comes naturally to others. Most people never question themselves or make this realization. Use him to start a conversation and educate others who instinctively fall back on social conditioning and target a group instead of holding individuals accountable.
True
But Its more the audacity
The complete disregard
To US
This is an actor
Completely dependent on consumer dollars and fandom
And in the whole #metoo, MAGA, era
Where his fellow actors pay hundreds of thousands to avoid and get out of these messes
He walked in proudly and eyes open
WILLINGLY
I think that is the mist chilling and eye opening.
Much like the last election showed
This shows a CONCERTED effort to excuse and normalize racism.
Not like we didn't know...
But now its about making it open and acceptable
This is insanely dangerous
I understand the "apology"
But the damage was done
He should have been prepared to tell that story PROPERLY.
he spoken before... aint he a professional?
If he can't? Don't?
Cause white folk weren't saying damn that could have been me, i was wrong.
The intial reaction was SEE?!? I'm not racist taken guy felt the same way. It isnt my fault EVERY Body would react that way. See same thing with the police shootings....
Liam f*cked up
And I'm not sure it was an accident
I understand the shock and disappointment but I don't think it's a way of normalizing racism. It's a way of showing it is already normalized, and ppl need to do better of recognizing it and confronting it in themselves and others. He's wasnt bragging, he was calling himself out. Since he was genuinely baring his soul and confessing, I don't expect it to be smooth and polished like a movie script. Would you be polished in admitting to something over which you were ashamed?
Like I said before, all folks have been conditioned to collectively view black folks as a problem. We even have black folks trying to separate themselves as "new blacks". The line is blurred as to how much is racism vs classism, but the mindset is still there. He overcame this conditioning to see that, so I'm not mad at him.
