The fact that they felt they didn’t need to broach the subject says they didn’t see it as anything worth acknowledging.

That had a devastating effect on Delroy and MBJ and every Black person inside and outside the room.

And quite frankly, left a disabilities advocate handing out to dry.

The situation Jordan and Lindo were put in was horrific and unfair. I totally get why people were outraged. Davidson deserves a little grace too for the impossible situation he was in. He wasn’t in a position to tell Jordan and Lindo he was sorry later that night, which was clearly a rough one.

As far as apologizing, he should apologize to them. Maybe he already has. But a public apology is extremely problematic, in a way that was not fairly discussed (even if one thinks under the circumstances it is warranted). He was thrust into being spokesperson for Tourette’s for two different nations

And it’s unsurprising how few people actually took the time to treat both sides with equal grace and how even fewer people didn’t immediately turn their ire to the people who were actually in control of their (in)actions: the BBC and the BAFTAS.

i was shocked to learn they had REALLY soft pedaled and babied their warning to the audience about the man's symptoms. they didn't even mention swearing (let alone slurs), they said "noises" and "movements." feel terrible for MBJ and delroy and audience members, and the guy too, you're right.

I saw I SWEAR last year when I was in London (it's fine). What bugged me is the folks on here telling Black folks to suck it up. I was reminded of how, in nearly 40 years, not ONE White person I worked with came to my defense when I was called the N-word. I was just supposed to take it from folks.

If I know BAFTA, I bet they didn’t have anyone who was equipped to have that conversation, which is itself quite telling.
