For those of you who keep quoting me, I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset at racism. I'm saying that if the two mature adults who were there can be tolerant of the thing that this man couldn't control, you can too.

I know this seems like a complex multifaceted issue but I don't think it is.
He either can help it or he can't.
You either blame him or you don't.
He either should have been there or he shouldn't.

Have you heard the phrase "it's not your fault, but it is your responsibility" before?

I don't know how he handled it after the fact. I don't know whether he's attempted to get i contact with Jordan and/or Lindo. I do know that despite the fact it wasn't his fault it happened, it is his responsibility to do something about it after the fact.

I know that what was supposed to be a great night for him and his cause blew up in his face and may have actually become a setback. I know that this, too, is not his fault. But it is his responsibility to do something to mitigate or even completely turn the situation around.

He did not choose to have tourette's, but he did choose to take on the responsibility of being a public figure in raising awareness about it. That decision is why he was where he was when what happened happened and that decision to take on that responsibility cannot be shirked due to a worst case scenario happening.

I don't think he's thinking through how it would go if the guy with Tourette walked up to Michael B Jordan to apologize.

Hint: Good chance he'd say the n-word again
