snoop1130 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Whoopi Goldberg insists friend Liam Neeson is 'not a bigot' by Helena Horton Liam Neeson has faced backlash for his comments CREDIT: LAURA HUTTON Whoopi Goldberg has insisted that Liam Neeson is "not a bigot" after the star faced backlash for admitting he once stalked the streets to find a "black b-----d" to kill after his friend was raped. Goldberg, who is a friend of the Taken star, said on American talk show The View: "People walk around sometimes with rage, that's what happens. Is he a bigot? No. I've known him a pretty long time, I think I would have recognized." "I've been around a lot of real bigots. I can say this man is not one." She added: "You can't be surprised that somebody whose loved one is attacked is angry and wants to go out and attack.

Popular Post Pilotman Posted February 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2019 I like Liam Neeson, as an actor and as a person, and I'm sure that Whoopi is right, but when will these supposedly intelligent celebrities learn to keep their mouths shut and not open themselves to inevitable criticism. As if social media wasn't enough of a forum to enable you to put both your feet into it, they now do this on face to face interviews. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solinvictus Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Ive seen parts of Taken. Wow, it seems really good and satisfying as far as how he deals with scum. I think Liam Neeson is a good actor in my book. He was in Kingdom of Heaven too which is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 He spoke of his anger and how he dealt with it. He showed courage and honesty in admitting to a human weakness. More importantly, he addressed it. He is to be praised, not vilified. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxboy Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 He's not the only actor to do this. I saw a documentary about Charles Bronson many years ago, and how he used to roam the streets, alleyways and subways around New York at night looking for muggers. He started with a cosh (well a sock full of coins) and progressed to shooting them dead. The cops caught him but let him go in the end ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solinvictus Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Why did they let him go? I wonder. Hmm a cosh. Never knew. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep my conversation to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
