"If I put serving myself ahead of not speaking up when I should speak up, then I wouldn't be able to look in the mirror." Liam Cunningham speaks to Ray Goggins & PJ Gallagher about his activism. #RTEUncharted | Tonight at 9.35pm







This is a point I think people really need to get. I remember when Condoleezza Rice withdrew from her planned commencement speech at Rutgers after protests over her role in the Iraq War. Fine. People were entitled to object to her record, of course. But at the same time, there was about a 0% chance she was going to actually talk about politics. Don’t you think it would have been interesting to hear from someone who grew up as a little Black girl in segregated Birmingham, Alabama — and then went on to become secretary of freaking state? I suspect she had some valuable and interesting things to say. (And yes, that is a massive understatement.)
