"The fact that a word
obliterates the sentiment behind what he was trying to say is a huge shame. I
think it is ingenuous: it's because we live in the age of the sound bite,
instead of the age of substance."
David, who was overlooked
for an Oscar for his stunning portrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the
film added: "Look at what the man was actually saying and he didn't have
to say it, he isn't affected by what he is saying. To latch on to this word is
silly."
Benedict used the term
during an interview in America on equality in cinema, where he shared his
opinion that Hollywood offers more opportunities for black actors than the UK
does.
He later apologised and
said it was a "thoughtless use of inappropriate language", and said
he makes no excuses for "being an idiot".
No bi lie nowh, na true more opportunities for black in the Ameriaca than UK.
