Delroy Lindo uttrycker tacksamhet vid NAACP Awards efter BAFTA-händelse med rasistiskt skällsord

Vid NAACP Image Awards tackade Delroy Lindo supportrar för deras solidaritet efter det rasistiska skällsordet som ropades mot honom under BAFTA Film Awards-utdelningen med Michael B. Jordan. Händelsen, som involverade Tourette-förespråkaren John Davidsons o俳optiska tic, väckte stor uppmärksamhet och debatt.

BAFTA-händelsen inträffade den 22 februari 2026 under presentationen av priset för visuella effekter, då åskådaren John Davidson ropade ett rasistiskt skällsord på grund av sin koprolali – ett symptom på Tourettes syndrom. Ögonblicket sändes live, vilket ledde till ursäkter från BAFTA och BBC samt blandade reaktioner från kändisar, inklusive Jamie Foxx. En vecka senare, den 28 februari 2026, vid NAACP Image Awards, tog Lindo kort upp händelsen. Han betonade det positiva stödet, tackade fans, kollegor och samhället för deras «ström av kärlek och solidaritet». Lindo höll en balanserad och tacksam ton, med fokus på enighet snarare än kontrovers. Hans uttalanden belyser samhällets pågående respons på händelsen och understryker uppskattningen mitt i bredare diskussioner om standarder för livesändningar, empati för neurologiska tillstånd och rasig känslighet.
