Did they not see the reaction from the presenters? Their Whiteness is showing...

"Oh who cares about the N-word...somebody said 'Free Palestine', they'll have my job for that one (but not the racial slur) "

Producers for the BBC indicated that the reason was because their team was
“working from a truck” and “failed to hear” the word. However, outrage at
its use had already been considerable on social media and it remains unclear
why lines of communication between the broadcaster and Bafta failed.

The BBC is too White, and that's why it handles things like this very badly.

Censoring "Free Palestine" but not the racial slur was a CHOICE

Really good article about the “n word" uttered at Michael B Jordan in the BAFTAs last night and why tourette's is not a valid excuse or reason, individually, or societally.

"Who taught him the N-word? Where did he hear it? How often was it circulating in his world? How often does it still circulate in his world? In what tone? In what context? These are legit sociological questions.

Even with his disability, Davidson is still a white man who knows that word. Tourette’s may explain the release, but it does not explain the racial architecture that made that word available to him. Disability does not override the social world in which someone was raised. And it does not place anyone outside the history of race. And while the utterance may have been involuntary, the impact was not, and it does not erase responsibility for the harm that lands.”

Tourette's Tic Blamed For The N-Word Yelled During BAFTAs

The incident was treated less like a racial harm event that happened to two Black men and more like a “disruption” that happened to the show.
