  • PLS how has Clapton faced up to his actions?

  • By openly and publicly talking about the racist things he said, why he had those beliefs, why they were wrong and what made him change his mind.

    He also talks pretty openly about his track record of rape and other sexual violence, where that came from, and the guilt he carries for his actions.

  • the guilt he carries for his actions.

    So he hasn’t faced real consequences.

    Emotional guilt isn’t worth a damn thing, IMO. Jail time and civil reparation are the only meaningful punishments, not alleged inner guilt and turmoil. If he had used his fame and meaningful amounts of money to actively campaign against the issues he’s contrite about, it might be different.
