How dare he confess these feelings from his past that would have otherwise never been known! Then he has the gall to express regret before giving anyone the change to ruin his life! I’m so mad that I can’t crucify him for making me piss myself in anger, I’ll hate him regardless🤬

good I hope people take note of how people feel after abuse of any kind effects them so I am glad he has spoken out yes we all know it's not right but who protects people as the laws does not

Based by some of the reactions most people didn't bother to read the whole thing and just the headlines and now are judging Liam.

Liam is honest and he was racist. His friend rape by a black man then he wanted to kill a black man for 10 days. But that was over. He feel he was stupid now

Primal urge to avenge yes, but wanting to kill any black man nope.

Unfortunately Neeson cannot erase the fact he asked his friend, 'what colour was he' implying if he was white he wouldn't bother himself with revenge. It's a clear indication of a racist mentality that will be impossible to worm his way out of?

Actual happens all the time for real in Africa. Doesn’t get mentioned though as the colour scheme is back to front.

I Admire his honesty in this overly sensitive age we currently live,in!

His Mel Gibson moment.

me too

Normal people. Normally this would be normal reaction regardless of color. He would have said the same for white, 🤔No ? It's close friend remember. Emotions run through High. So relax before passing stupid things to social Media.!! What would you said if was your sister? Black

Black men of twitter.. I’m afraid you’re going to be taken.....

Is Liam Neeson signalling that he wishes to apply for a role in the New York Police department ?

How does that help him sharing this story? How do you view a black man now from that experience? ♠️

What kind of person thinks killing a stranger is somehow getting back at a completely unrelated other person? Neeson revealed himself, and what we see isn’t looking great.

I suppose that's 'one' way to frame his larger point...you'd expect that headline in the Daily Mail, not The Guardian 🙄

Did Liam’s rage at this atrocity really boil down to a colour thing? I’m struggling with this reporting. Are you truly representing him here?

Folks being like: “I don’t think he meant...” LOL. He said exactly what he said. Like EXACTLY.

Anyone special or just any BM?

If everyone was as assholic as he is, every black person would be saying the same thing about the slave trade injustices right? ( hangings and the rapes), how many whites would be killed then?

Yikes...You’d think the bulk of his energy would go to victim’s counseling...but...killing a random Black male was the go-to. And no real analysis, no resolution to that pathological fuckshow. wow

Same people that are outraged over this are the same ppl that said a 16 yr old kids face looked Punchable

Promoting a movie 101. Just tell everyone you wanted to kill an innocent man! LiamNeeson sick

He may as well move in with Kevin Spacey.

naomirwolf .

Some things are better left unsaid.

Think he just killed his career

I think he’s probably referring to that one black man

Perhaps ‘I wanted to kill a man’ is the better way to rewrite that headline?

Race bait headlines pay the bill get the clicks

'A' Black man? Like, it didn't matter which one? How does Neeson REALLY feel, now

It's incredibly hard for some people to overcome the rage against other race. It doesn't matter if you're minority or majority. Glad to hear that he could cool it off.

tabloidquotes When subheads go b... worse than usual.

Title writing is 11/10

I think this headline is a little bit disingenuous. What Neeson was doing was reflecting on how he felt and behaved after learning his friend had been raped. He then says ““It’s awful. But I did learn a lesson from it, when I eventually thought, ‘What the fuck are you doing?’”

Clickbait title. Article is substantially far different from what the title is implying.

Whichever way you look at it, this is fucked up. It's a weird world. To a small number of hardcore racists this confession is all the excuse they need to beat up black men. Surely Neeson knows this?

Uh, this iconic figure possessing the worst kind of racism: racism with VIOTLENT/ DEADLY intent.

Black people should feel the same way. BobMarley 'How long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look'

Deranged man.

I hope he found peace , no judgement from me

So if it was done by a white guy you figure he was going to head out looking for a white guy to pummel?

Ludicrous!! If that was how it worked, all blacks in the world would have lurked around to wipe white folks off the face of this earth for slavery and the ills that came with it!! You should've kept that story in your chest instead of trying to promote a movie with it! BS!!

He went trolling for a black make to kill? And if the rapist was white would he be on the prowl to kill white men? Remind me NOT to see his latest movie Cold Pursuit imjustsaying BlackLivesMatter

Oh so that’s why he had no issues at all with playing a violent murderous racist man protecting innocent white women from evil foreigners in Taken.

Geez Liam, some things are better kept to yourself.

Notice how many tweeting about this ask after the rape victim..... Me neither!

How to ruin your whole career in one sentence

I CALL BS

then, I was Taken.

😮😮😮😮😮

WTF
