This editorial choice has hit a particularly raw nerve, occurring on the same evening Ryan Coogler made history as the first Black person to win the BAFTA for Best Screenplay. The contrast between the celebration of Black excellence and the broadcast of a racial slur has left audiences questioning the production’s priorities.
“My question is, why did they keep it in the broadcast? They cut ‘free Palestine’ from one winner’s speech, but not that? For what? A ‘teachable moment?’ Why does that have to come at the expense of black people’s feelings? Why show Jordan and Lindo getting humiliated like that? And on the night Coogler made history by being the first black person to win Best Screenplay no less.”
“Excuse me if I sound cynical but it was likely to garner viewership which sucks. the clip was really upsetting.”
“What I'm confused about, is why they didn't use other editing options... I think the upset could have been minimised to those who directly experienced it in the room with better production choices. I struggle to believe this was purposeful vs incompetent.”
“I think the racial slurs absolutely should’ve been edited out. Not out of shaming, but out of not giving licence to racists. Pretty sure the man in question who said them bc of his condition would’ve liked that dignity.”
“The answer would be that the person who said ‘Free Palestine’ is making a choice to say that, while the person with Tourette’s has no choice or control over what they say... But one is a slur and the other is a slogan. If you cut one, you should cut both.”
As BAFTA and the BBC face calls for a formal investigation into the production's decision, the industry is forced to reckon with a difficult truth: in the search for a "viral moment," the human cost is often too high.
