I can't believe there are still people posting on this thread who think race doesn't play a part in Alfie's success and ignorance.
"White privilege" is not an insult or an offence, and it is certainly not racist. It's a fact. A well known, well established social construct.
Ethnic minorities have to work twice as hard to get half as far. Even if you were living under a rock you couldn't have missed the 'black lives matter' movement. People of colour getting treated unjustifiably worse by authorities is only the tip of the iceberg.
You are not endorsing racism when you talk about white privilege. You are not discriminating or offending. You are recognising something that has existed for centuries.
Alfie's white privilege, amongst his other privileges such as his wealthy background and his supposed attractiveness, has got him very far by doing very little. It's not racist to say that.

It won't get through. His comments are highly moderated. Only the few super positive ones get shown (out of 1000s posted). Keeps him safe in his bubble where everything Alfie does and says is golden._iva19_ wrote:Maybe it won't get deleted, but do expect a vehement reply from a eleven-year-old like "How dare you speculate that this is not a DIY don't you seee how savage Alfie works every day to bring us this amazing content youR just a hater k bye yaaaas I slayed you"pickle123 wrote:I couldn't help myself!

Not to tread on your toes. But a lot of statistics were released about shootings in America whilst all that was going on and if I remember correctly white males being shot and killed was to equal to or above black deaths ( I can't quiet remember and I'm to tired to look for it all ).
Media coverage inflates the situation though. All it taught me was that the America police force shouldn't be let out with guns.
But Alfie is a fucking privileged idiot asnd we all know it.
Also 'white privilege' is and will be used as a racial slur, when you label a 6th generation poor factory worker 'white privileged' (which is happening) you kinda make it racist.

I think for the person I just quoted go check out Dr Jordan Peterson on white privilege

The media often only makes the problem woorse. You try telling some poor white kid on a council estate that left school with a substandard eduction about white privilege.

Re: PointlessVIP: More Money Than Sense Part 13
I know this is a thread for gossip and "light hearted" (lol) topics most of the time, but I'm really happy to see people standing up for race issues and calling out Alfie on his crazy amount of white privilege. And this is coming from a white woman. Privilege is about systematic oppression by the way -- not "some white guy you know who isn't super rich."
But yeah. Alfie's speech makes me wanna gag.

It's not about the numbers, it's about the reasons. If you're a coloured person in America, the police will pull out a gun on you a hell of a lot quicker, giving very little time to properly assess the situation. Like that guy who got shot because he was reaching for his driving license, which the policeman had asked for. And there was no reason for pulling him over in the first place - apart from his skin colour.suzygg wrote:sockmonkey wrote:I can't believe there are still people posting on this thread who think race doesn't play a part in Alfie's success and ignorance.

Racial profiling happens all over the world. Any brown person who's travelled on an airplane will tell you that. You can't deny any of these things or throw meaningless stats at them to suggest white people experience the same types of prejudice. Because they don't.
Also black people are a minority in America. So if they're getting shot and killed just as much as white people then that's definitely not right.
No one here is labelling a "6th generation poor factory worker" as being white privileged. I would only use it in situations where the person is actually benefiting from that privilege. Like Alfie. I know many many white people who happily accept and are grateful for the privilege their skin colour brings them in many situations.

Back to Alfie - I can't believe he put beans on his pizza
And I'm still struggling to see how him and everyone around him are working so hard to make their dreams a reality....
Making your hairdresser wait so you can go to Waitrose to buy a shitload of pizza toppings so you don't miss out on your daily fix of grease and cheese. Goals.

Re: PointlessVIP: More Money Than Sense Part 13
no no no...he bought the Nike Vapormax, wore them once and thought they were uncomfortable then went out and bought a pair of 'propa' running trainers as per recommended in the comments (Asics i think they were) think he ran once or twice with them then bye bye, goneGirltyler wrote:Let's not forget he also bought brand new shoes for running and ran once with themnixworld68 wrote:When did he last go running in the morning?
