Summary
A man with Tourette’s syndrome blurted out the N word at actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo during the BAFTA Awards. He was at the ceremony because the film “I Swear” was inspired by his life story. Now the left can’t figure out if he’s a racist, or if being offended is ableist. This is a funny one—let’s talk about it.

| 0:00.0 | All right guys, buckle up for this front. |
| 0:01.4 | This one's gonna be a fun one. A man with Tourette's screamed the N-word at the BAFTAs at two black actors, and the left has been sat on fire by this because it presents a very interesting dilemma. Does the left support the man with Tourette because he's disabled and not supporting him would be ableist? Or do they support the two black men who heard the N-word because they're black and that's racist? |
| 0:23.5 | They have short-circuited. Let's talk about it. |
| 0:31.3 | Guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe. |
| 0:36.8 | This is funny to me. I'm just going to go ahead and get right out of the gate and say this is funny. 20 years ago, this would have been funny. 30 years ago, this would be funny. Now it's not funny, okay? This is creating online discourse and debate about ableism versus racism. And I'm going to get you right into the situation here. We're going to watch a clip from the Baptist. This is a British film and television award show that takes place every year. And Michael B. Jordan and |
| 0:59.3 | Delroy Lindo, who are famously in Sinners, a movie that is about black people made by black people for |
| 1:06.2 | black people. They were presenting an award. And a man with Tourette's screamed out the N-word. Let's watch. |
| 1:13.5 | Delro and I are delighted to be presenting the first BAFTA of the night for a vital part of movie making. |
| 1:21.3 | We're here to celebrate. Now, Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Linda went on to professionally present |
| 1:26.6 | this award despite the outburst from the man with Tourette's in the crowd. |
| 1:30.6 | Now, let me explain his position. |
| 1:32.4 | Now, the man who ended up screaming this obscenity at the BAFTAs is actually named John Davidson. |
| 1:38.3 | Now, he's at the BAFTAs because there's a film telling his story of being a man with Tourette's who struggled with it, |
| 1:44.4 | who struggled with socializing and living with this condition. |
| 1:47.5 | And the film is called, I swear, okay? |
| 1:54.2 | Now, apparently he was saying swear words all night. |
| 2:00.1 | I think he even told a woman with cancer at one point she was going to die. |
| 2:04.6 | Like there was some pretty bad things coming out of this guy's mouth, but he has Tourette's. |
| 2:08.6 | It's completely involuntary and he cannot control it. |
| 2:12.6 | If I can stop crying enough to continue telling this story, I'm going to read a headline that's come out after this. |
| 2:19.7 | And I'm not laughing at this headline. People took this very seriously. Okay. Michael B. Jordan is |
