Are All people Idiots?


Just what the hell is this guy apologizing for? Ever hear of free speech?

Just apologize for being White and get it over with already

You people make me sick











I'm only responsible for what I say....NOT for what you understand

Could JT be any less offensive?? And he's taking *beep* for it -- it's kinda funny. But how is what some oversensitive douche bag says on Twitter news though?!?! I think that should be the real story here. Sorry internet trolling is not news even if the troll claims to be black. I think IMDb is appropriating African-American Twitter culture... Oh no!

I believe JT's heart is in the right place. He just made the mistake of believing his voice matters. Years ago when battered women started marching for their cause and to try establish safety, they resented the men who attempted to join them in that struggle. 35 years later and women are still being murdered in their homes, LE is still trying to believe them and the courts are full of cases to punish the oppressors. We have had years of sensitivity training that goes against the grain of history. Remember the "rule of thumb"? That used to be the measure of what a man could beat his woman with then. The big difference though is the mass terrorism and distruction that goes with this movement. Burning bras was our biggest statement, but looting, burning, stopping travel and downright entitlement have seemed to take over this plight.

LE take their lives in their hands when they enter a domestic violence scene, much the way they do when they confront any law breaking in crime ridden areas. If the black culture wants only the black culture, then so be it. We need to step back from their battle and let them fight it for themselves. After all, we don't know oppression or pain; we don't know what it means to be frightened or alone in that fear. That also means though that they need to clean up their own messes in their culture. Battered women eventually learned to trust LE once again and not just see a man in uniform but a man willing to risk his life to help. Eventually BLM may broaden it's view to understand there are white people who are not oppressors and didn't have to go through the very same thing they have in order to empathize and assist.

While I agree that JT should not apologize, you don't understand the meaning of freedom of speech. FOS simply means that you will not be prosecuted by the government for what you say, with certain exceptions like asking a minor for sex, etc.

However, it does not mean you can't suffer other consequences like a backlash, etc. Ironically, you're clamoring for JT's right to speak his mind...while wanting those with an opposing opinion to remain silent. FOS works both ways.

JT exercised his right to FOS fully. No-one FORCED him to be silent, and he is not facing jail time or prosecution because of his remarks. HE spoke HIS mind...and the people who disagree have every right to speak THEIR minds in opposition, even if you or I happen to disagree with them.

Both sides have exercised their rights to FOS.

That guy jesse williams is a white hating racist hypocrite despite being mostly white with his light skin and blue eyes, the audience at the BET who clapped and cheered at that guys anti white racism are racists, and Justin Timberlake is a sell out punk for praising williams racist remarks and then like a little bitch apologizing for the racists who attacked Timberlake for doing basically what they demand of whites which is be totally sellout punks.

Umm, if he's mostly white then George Clooney is mostly black.
