They dude had admitted that he made a mistake in the way he felt, acknowledge the problem and changed himself and people want to come at him with pitchforks. Just another day in manufactured internet rage.

White Privilege is a racist term and should be banned from this site.

People learn. Especially from mistakes. And then they change.
Can't say that I know if he did, but you shouldn't so easily judge people for what they have done in the far past.
I can't wait to see his new movie, Saturday. And what kind of story is this? "Guy gets angry and does something stupid after sister is raped. The end."
Hopefully righteous Twitter users can show their virtue by shitting all over his social media accounts.

I'm not entirely sure how your first phrase is any different from what I said.
Liam is told the rapist was black, so, being enraged, he chooses to dish it out on someone - black - that comes up to him to start trouble.
To ascribe racial prejudice to that decision is your choice, which someone people, including myself say is wrong.
What? No. You've only replaced "black" with "individual wearing MAGA hat". So Liam would be going after anyone wearing a MAGA Hat, which means that you would be saying that Liam was being racist towards white people. That is the predominant race of MAGA hat users isn't it? Or is that assumption racist too?
Oh christ.... white privilege...really?
Meh, dumb thing a kid would do which is what he was at the time. He’s grown up and changed and even bothered to bring this up in the first place for fuck knows what reason. I don’t see the issue here.
I think you have missed the entire point of this, or you only heard that he was looking for a black man to kick the crap out of.
He was talking about how letting your irrational, basic instincts take over is never a good idea. He wanted to find the person that raped his friend, and the only real identifier he had was that it was a black person. In the extreme anger of having a loved one assaulted people do really stupid stuff. That was the point of his story.
This is not a sign of racism, especially because he shows regret afterward. You identifying him as a racist because of this incident, which apparently happened probably before you were even born, shows one of the real problems of society: not willing to forgive and forever shaming someone for a stupid act years ago.
