The real story is that at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) attended by the patron of BAFTA Prince Williams and big British leaders and others a man was shouting “Nigger Nigger” as two black actors were making a presentation.
That is the ugliest form of racism and this man went on for some time and was never even asked to stop insulting black people in the audience assuming the white people in there including Prince Williams were fine with the racism and nigger terminology for black people.

The man shouting racist words at black actors got tired of it and left by himself. Hours later when BBC which was covering the event came up with complete with fake excuses to cover up the racist outburst witnessed by the whole world.
In their so-called apology the BBC main story to the viewers was about Tourette’s syndrome basically trying to bury everything around the health conditions of the man shouting racist insults at the event.
Davidson shouted the n-word as Sinners actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented the award for special visual effects, the first award of the night. The highly offensive word was audible during the broadcast.
The actors appeared to pause for a moment after the racial slur was yelled before continuing their presentation.
The moment was not edited out of the BBC One broadcast, which was shown on a two-hour delay, and remained on BBC iPlayer on Monday morning before being removed, the BBC reported.
The main issue for the BBC was that they were not able to wipe out the nigger outburst from their released broadcast to the public and for that they apologized.
“We apologize that this was not edited out prior to broadcast and it will now be removed from the version on BBC iPlayer,” a BBC spokesperson said.
Simply put the BBC is sorry that they did not hide the racist crap that came up at the BAFTA awards. They are not concerned about the racism at all which implies they have no problem with racism and many of those broadcasters as well as majority of that white audience at the BAFTA were probably very happy that some big black names in the acting world were getting what they richly deserved.
As they finished apologizing for failing to hide the racism at the awards BBC and British media turned to explaining to the whole world how Tourette syndrome was the culprit that brough racism to the awards.
In its statement, the BBC said: “Some viewers may have heard strong and offensive language during the Bafta Film Awards. This arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette syndrome, and as explained during the ceremony it was not intentional.”
“Tourette syndrome is a disability, and the tics you’ve heard tonight are involuntary, which means the person who has Tourette syndrome has no control over their language.
The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) and BBC apologized Monday for a racial slur that was broadcast during Sunday’s show while two stars of the film Sinners were onstage.
The Tourette syndrome campaigner who shouted the slur said he was “deeply mortified” and what he said was “not a reflection of my personal beliefs.”
The highly offensive word could be heard as Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, who are both Black, were presenting the award for best visual effects during Sunday’s BAFTA awards ceremony.
If the world did not know better, we would be thinking that somebody called Tourette syndrome stormed into the event to bring their problems with niggers in that event.
No, please do not use the disease of the man to hide from Racism in your country which is what happened at the BAFTA event.
Nobody can ignore the fact that this a man with a pretty serious health condition and for that he deserves our sympathy and will get that but trying to pretend that Tourette syndrome makes people racist is absolute nonsense.

That is a person who needs all the help he can get as we all do when dealing with our health conditions.
The problem about the reaction people have including the British media and politicians who are not mad about some nigger words being thrown in England in the 21st century but that how did the heck did this get out. BBC is doing everything for the cover.
So yes, Great Britain is scared of dealing with racism within themselves to begin with why would it bother them that some real nasty stuff was being thrown at invited actors who just happened to be black.

The incident sparked outrage from some people in attendance and others who saw the clip online.
Sinners‘ production designer, Hannah Beachler, took to social media after the show to address the situation.
“I keep trying to write about what happened at the BAFTAs, and I can’t find the words,” Beachler wrote on X. “The situation is almost impossible, but it happened 3 times that night, and one of the three times was directed at myself on the way to dinner after the show.”
“I understand and deeply know why this is an impossible situation. I know we must handle this with grace and continue to push through. But what made the situation worse was the throw away apology of ‘if you were offended,’” she said of Cumming’s statement after the outburst.
Wendell Pierce, who worked with Jordan on The Wire, wrote on X, “It’s infuriating that the first reaction wasn’t complete and full throated apologies to Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan. The insult to them takes priority. It doesn’t matter the reasoning for the racist slur.”
Jamie Foxx commented “unacceptable” and “Nah he meant that sh-t” in a post about the moment on Instagram.
Black people have faced racism for centuries going back to being captured as slaves from the continent and shipped across the seas where millions of those captured perished in the sea. Were those white people capturing and killing slaves in the sea all suffering from Tourette syndrome?
Were all these people treating African slaves like wild animals to be beaten and killed at will suffering from Tourette syndrome? Not at all and what disease other than racism were they suffering from?
Yes, there was a bad racist outburst at the event but to try to cover it up with Tourette syndrome so that they can avoid talking about racism is more than offensive not just to black people around the world but also to others including white folk who may have a little difficulty with racism at this stage in the globe.
As of now the demand by the British on actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan who went through that nigger assault is that they must ignore the whole incident and say nice things about the whole situation.
It is one thing for these actors to be called niggers in a world stage but asking them never to say anything about it is way too much. Fair enough BAFTA, BBC and all the big parties in the event have refused to offer any apology to the niggers who were abused while making presentations there but give them a little respect if that does not take too much from the British parties involved.
