I dont think that is true though Cal, there are bits he seems to get totally wrong, like below. Hes got that backwards, if you read his comments in full it very much seems like its the violence and revenge hes talking about and not the racism, whereas Barnes is saying the total opposite.
“He went on to say he was ashamed and horrified by the way he felt,” Barnes said. “He’s not ashamed and horrified at wanting to commit the act of revenge, he’s ashamed and horrified because that is what he thought about all black people.”
But I think John Barnes is very good on the topic of race and gets a lot right so often, hes always worth listening to, and there are parts of his comments I agree with
Speaking about the reaction to Neeson’s comments - with people calling for the actor to be stripped of his OBE and for a boycott on his films - Barnes said: “So let’s take down that statue of Winston Churchill… who is a white supremacist and a mass murderer.”
He continued: "How is Churchill a hero when he spoke about… he believes in gassing the lesser races. But he’s a hero. And when Liam Neeson comes out and he admits that he was wrong in what he did, whereas Winston Churchill would never admit he was wrong, never, and if he was alive now he would still believe in the superiority of the Aryan race.

Churchill was Stalin’s bitch
The Churchill comment is 
on it’s own it would be blasted but given he’s using it to defend Neeson, some people are going to have some real trouble making heads and tails out of it.

It’s not like Liam Neeson decided to jump on some innocent black guy. He was waiting for someone who would front him.
Far better than modern white guys of his country who would blow up a school or church
He went out with an offensive weapon seeking a confrontation so he could kill a black bastard. His words. That is indefensible.
If you’re going to try and stick up from him, do it from the angle of he’s seen the error of his ways and been brave enoigh to admit this. Theres an angle there if you seek it, but what you’re saying is nonsense.
I am neither sticking up for him nor criticising him.
So im wondering how come no attack took place if he was looking for a week to attack some random bloke.
Thankfully he never attacked an innocent man and this still leaves the rapist as the real cunt of the story regardless of colour.
Imagine that. Another Hollywood dickhead says/does something deplorable. White men with money, power, or a platform are the problem with the world.

Love these kids.
Put them in charge of the country, they’d do a better job than the current government tbh.
They’re protesting in the wrong country lol

Im glad that they are getting involved in politics, and climate change will affect their generation most. But why were the socialist worker handing out ‘Tories Out’ banners to under-16s on a climate march? Nothing like minors to get your political point across at an unrelated rally…
