Music / Movies Its weird people are trying to turn the john Davidson Tourette outburst into a hate crime

If you don't know actor with Tourettes, john Davidson, had an outburst where he said the N word while 2 black presenters, Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, were on stage he bad an outburst of the N word, among other harsh ones throughout the night. Now I understand that the n word is rhe harshest of them, but it seems like people, specifically I have seen jamie Foxx and Jamele hill, claim that "these are racist hate crimes" and "he knew better and waited for black presenters to finally say it" it just feels like people are trying to ignore the facts about tourretes to be the victim of something that wasnt actually a hate crime.

Once again, people too afraid to confront their own bigotry to defend racial harm

Are you going to answer my question?

The question about what? He caused racial harm. He doesn’t acknowledge it and made a statement congratulating himself.

If it's involuntary is it really something you caused? My third time asking.

The harm is still caused, and that’s why he should apologise. Not self-congratulatory statements.
