David Oyelowo defends decision to work with director Nate Parker: "I have a pretty good discernment when it comes to good people. He is a good person beyond his fallibility, beyond the mistakes he made" https://t.co/VwaSA2r3kk

Nate Parker is directing David Oyelowo’s film “Sweet Thunder,” a biopic about boxing great Sugar Ray Robinson.
Oyelowo defended his decision to work with the filmmaker.
“I have a pretty good discernment when it comes to good people. He is a good person beyond his fallibility, beyond the mistakes he made. And I believe in redemption. I believe in forgiveness and he is someone I have been around enough to know that in my opinion he is worthy of that.”
“He made mistakes in the middle of that whole controversy. He lacked a certain contrition that he now has as a human being. I believe that the man that is going to re-emerge when he does come back into the public consciousness is going to be someone who people are going to see his regret, see his compassion, see his maturation, see his growth, see his deserving of redemption,”
“As it says in the Bible, all have sinned and fallen short — all of us. Therefore, let us have the compassion to recognize that and see where there are people who are truly contrite, truly desirous to be better going forward. What I would say about Nate is his handling of it when it happened was wrong and it lacked the compassion that needed to be seen.”
“I believe that with time the tide will turn and me working with him is part of an offering to him of my desire to see him redeemed,”

Also there's no excuse to work with a known rapist. And you can't have redemption without even being sorry about it

Who gives a flying fuck what you believe?
And he's been on this stomach-turning bullshit for months.

Why are men?
Rape is not...whoops. Whoops is not a thing that gives someone PTSD and leads to a breakdown (my experience). Whoops is 'I forgot your birthday" or "I was an asshole to you this weekend but actively doing better" Whoops is "I rear-ended your car and cracked your light and am going to replace it."
I really liked David's work but this will forever be there and I can't.

I hate when rape is labelled something as trivial a mistake. "Whooopsie! I raped someone! My gosh, how did that happen! My bad! Won't happen again!"

Everybody has those days
No..
It's Fucking wild that I made it to 29 years without raping or assaulting anyone. Crazy how I (and so many other people) managed not to make that mistake.
