Liam Neeson Interview

From the 70s right through to the late 90s the concept of revenge killings based on immutable characteristics was accepted and endorsed by large sections of his society.

I’m not saying that it makes what he was feeling okay, and Neeson clearly isn’t either, but it does help to explain why his reaction was so violent against Blacks as a group.

Absolute rubbish.
What lead you to the conclusion that he went through the experience in NI?

Liam said so himself in an interview.

No he didn't.

He talked about having grown up during the troubles. Seperate to the story of the rape.

He then talked about the incident with his friend and how he "went out to black areas in this city" seeking conflict.

There are no black areas in Belfast or any other city or town in Northern Ireland. It did not happen there.

A lot of people from N Ireland are making the same point, its a long drive to Dublin which would have been the nearest area with any kind of black population

No, but you should be banned from CP. Mods?

*Man made socially unacceptable statement about feelings from decades ago*

Jimmies rustled!!

Lesson learned. Even if you are a racist homophobe a-hole, just lie about it. If nobody knows you don't need to change!

People seemingly aren't interested in improving people's outlooks, they just don't want to hear about them
