Within the first week of Black History Month, Liam Neeson revealed his past urge to kill “some black bastard,” Michelle Rodriguez defended Neeson’s statement, claiming an interracial kiss eliminates racism, and Gucci promoted and apologized for a sweater that resembled blackface; and quite frankly, we are tired.
