I grew up in the same town as him. During The Troubles, like him. It shaped us all. We learned very quickly to see our society as lethally divided. I was hyper-vigilant, knowing my religion made me a target. We all grew up thinking, 'violence never solves anything' was a lie.
Liam Neeson grew up in a world where Protestants killed Catholics & vice-versa. Collective blame was what he saw and learned. All you pure ppl who never had to overcome being a product of your surroundings are so lucky. The rest of us are human. We make mistakes. We grow & learn.

It’s just basic humanity. Ppl are so just so quick to demonize without taking a moment to empathize.

He admitted to a moment of weakness. That took courage. I have always admired Liam Nelson as an actor and admire him now more as a person.

I was trying to make a similar point a few days ago. My parents were living in Yugoslavia during the Croatian War of Independence. Lots of ethnonationalism filling the streets. The people outraged by his actions/inaction don't know what it feels like to live in conflict.

I want the world to have as few racists as possible. I am also grateful for the fact that people can stop being racist, just as I was able to overcome a fundamentalist upbringing to quit homophobia. We conquer these issues with more dialogue and openness, not less.
