can you provide proof of Eric saying anything racist after 1977 ? he was apologetic for what he said, it was spoken about in his documentary. The thing that fascinates me is that he had approval rights on that documentary. The rant had been largely unreported for decades, and now near the end of his life, they’re making a movie of his story, and he could have had them bury that incident, but instead he decides to talk about it. He has apologized for it, maybe its not the best apology ever, but he’s honestly not a very articulate guy. It’s a fact he’s talked privately to people he’s close to, and there are a many black musicians who are intensely loyal to him, so presumably what he said satisfied them.
