BAFTA...
Two people were slurred at BAFTA. Two innocent people who were once again reminded, on one of the biggest days of their lives, that despite that, they’re still reduced to subhumans.
The underlying reason doesn’t matter. In the same way that it didn’t matter when Kanye was diagnosed with schizophrenia and started I Love Hitler anti-semetic rants, the harm can’t be excused away in terms of the damage it has done, regardless of the circumstances.
What Black people are mad about is not simply the outburst, which the circumstances could explain, but not excuse.
It’s the fact that the outburst wasn’t deemed offensive enough to cut from the broadcast, but ‘Free Palestine,” according to reports, was.
Who is human, and who isn’t seen as human, yet again?
