Tbh I've never seen it Retro, but I've just read it's plot and says nothing about indiscriminately targeting black men, say 'hunting down the gang'- but in any event that's fiction not real life. Nothing wrong with targeted revenge in a plot, just not sure anyone would really get behind a 'hero' wiping out a whole race just to make sure he got the right guy or to make his impotent self feel better.
It has not even been made yet ....
That's exactly what I said in my first post when I said that society goes to great lengths to insulate white women from black men and it is a form of racism that's very hard to avoid because it's all around us socially and historically to portray black males as a threat. It's suited the agenda for centuries.
Wont hurt his career a jot.

Not everyone gets whipped up into a rage over something that happened many years ago when things were different.
retro - // I am not struggling with anything except I can't recall how he knew and recognised all the gang members when he didn't witness the crime? //

The criteria for 1970's vigilantes in film to annihilate at will any person or persons deemed by appearance to be unreasonably depleting the planet's oxygen resources are clear and include, but are not limited to -

wearing unacceptably casual clothing, including inappropriate footwear, being trainers or biker boots etc.

wearing any kind of necklace or personal jewellery

wearing hair in any sort of challenging style and / or length

adopting an appropriately unconcerned attitude to the world in general, such as a sneer, a frown, or just generally looking at the vigilante in a funny way

talking in a foreign accent

being of foreign appearance

chewing gum

drinking in public, or in private

glancing for more than half-a-second at any female in the vicinity

being under twenty-five.

Hope this helps.

It’s snowing again.....
LOL. x
That Neeson’s expression of regret for his past thoughts counts for nothing in the eyes of the new morality police is striking, and worrying. It points to a streak of very anti-human fatalism in the Twittermobbing phenomenon. The new witch-hunters are not in the business of forgiving people — even people who confess to their one-time horribleness — because they fundamentally believe that people cannot change. That if you once had a racist thought you will always be racist. That if you made a homophobic joke ten years ago, you will be a homophobe forever. This is why they engage in the low pursuit of ‘offence archaeology’, as the journalist Freddie de Boer described the trend for poring over public figures’ every past statement and deed in search of something nasty or embarrassing that might be used against said public figure today — because they think people do not change, that their wickedness is ingrained, that they suffer from original sin and it cannot be washed away.
What he admitted was quite shocking in a way but it’s from a long time back, the point of him mentioning it is to confess how appalled he feels about it and has done for a long time.
And he didn’t actually harm anyone.
So I hope not. And I believe not.
Of course he hasn't. He is only human, saying and doing are two different things. It was the anger talking.
It's a fuss over nothing, imo.

I’ve just listened to a news report on BBC Radio 4 and it seems a bit of a rewind is in order here.

Apparently he didn’t go out in search of any black man but in the hope that a black man would attack him so that he had a reason to retaliate.
a black "Barsteward" at that !
Khandro, thanks for - ‘offence archaeology’, sums it up perfectly.
I made a comment on here this morning at 9.30am and nothing I have read since then has made me change my mind.
It has made me realise though that even one tiny aspect of social media can create massive mountains out of small molehills.
He's going to have a tough time getting over this.
100% agree with Prudie at 12:22. Big fuss about nowt !!!
Storm in a teacup. Distorted click bait. Move on. There are actually real things far more urgent to concern ourselves with.
Khandro - If this was my OP, I would award you BA for your thoughtful and considered post.
