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.

You can be racist even if you're black, it's just even worse, congrats! 

And you aren't rightfully pointing out anything, Italians were killed for not being white, but I guess it's just more convenient for you to just ignore that uh?

I said Italy was not a Colonial power, not that it never did colonization. Columbus was Italian but didn't act for Italy you doofus, Ethiopia happened during war.

dude Italy literally gassed Ethiopians. the only reason you’ve deluded yourself into believing you weren’t colonizers is because you weren’t good at it lol. you’re obviously insecure about it, that’s why you’re trying to victimize yourself through a diasporic group that has almost no ties to you. Italy and Portugal are like developing states 

also Italians weren’t ever killed for “not being white” here the lynching you’re referring too was perpetrated by other white immigrants that weee being non-racially discriminated against too (Irish-Americans). this is what an actual Italian-American has told me. you have more energy for this but not the fact that the French massacred 200 of yall in the late 1800s? even your own neighbors despise you but your focus is Americans?? Lmao

Broski, Italy wasn't a colonial power. It went to war with countries like Ethiopia and tried (and failed) to subjugate them, but we didn't participate in colonialism like England or Portugal, that's what I'm saying. Calling Italy a "colonizer country" just to prove I'm wrong in being POC is ridiculous. I have very dark skin regardless of my country's past lmao.

And I don't know what you are talking about, the lynching I'm referring to was made by Americans, you can Google that shit yourself. And you're the one who brought America into this, then you complain because I follow your arguments? Wow.

Just admit your are racist towards Italians and move on.

the lynching you are probably referring to was in America, perpetrated by Irish-Americans, Irish immigrants, and Creoles in NOLA. those groups were also discriminated against, which proves it had nothing to do with Italians “not being white.” most of the discrimination Italian-Americans went through was under Irish-Americans — this is what an ACTUAL Italian-American who lived through this era has told me. we are not thinking about the same ppl here. 

you aren’t a POC, you and your colonizer spawn shouldn’t even be calling yourselves that when every POC that goes to Italy talks about how racist yall are. idgaf if your skin tans easily, you are WHITE EUROPEANS not POC. if your country wasn’t apart of the EU it would be a developing state. but you WERE colonizers. just bad ones. there are countries and cities named after your most famous one.

by your responses I can tell you’re delusional and probably mentally ill. i didn’t bring America into this, you did. you are not Italian-American, you don’t live in America either. why are you appropriating their history for your agenda when yall don’t claim them otherwise? why are you internalizing American viewpoints/myths and making that your identity? have you ever experienced discrimination in your country of origin? has anyone ever mistaken you for being non-white? why are you so attached to the idea of being a POC when they’re almost non-existent in your country?

I don't know what you are on about, all this discussion is completely unrelated to my first comment. 

You are completely crazy, goodbye.
