Rodrigo removed from the B.B. house

I think the meaning of the word has a different meaning in these current times

I personally hate the term and thinknit should be totally banned

But can see why it’s confussing for younger people with it in so many pop songs

Nah, I like them. Gives me ideas to write messages to my mum

Sophia99 · 27/08/2018 15:50

What song is THAT cherry?! With all those words in?! Shock

Never heard anything like THAT.

The white privilege society must have kept me shielded from it!

RoseWhiteTips · 27/08/2018 15:50

I also song lyrics about killing bitches and strangling them while you fuck them.

More loveliness.🙄

Cherrygardenst · 27/08/2018 15:51

I'm not trying to be charming and lovely.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/08/2018 15:52

Personal abuse reported.

Cherrygardenst · 27/08/2018 15:53

Awh diddums.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/08/2018 15:54

Being shielded from such obscene words is surely positive.

Cherrygardenst · 27/08/2018 15:55

When you're a kid maybe. As an adult you can listen to what you like.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/08/2018 15:56

It’s ‘awwww’ with however many letters w float your boat.

RoseWhiteTips · 27/08/2018 15:56

Excellent adult behaviour. Not.

TacoLover · 27/08/2018 15:57

I can't hear you because the huge cloud of white privilege covering me

Is it impossible to comprehend that the problems in your life won't be because of your skin colour, whereas others face police brutality in America because of stereotypes and discrimination, some spat at in the street because they 'look like a terrorist' etc? It goes on and on. White privilege is not being able to see what is right in front of you. Insisting that you must be discriminated against as much as everyone else, and suggesting you have an advantage is racist isn't it? Confused

Cherrygardenst · 27/08/2018 15:59

I'd like to sink your boat personally

RoseWhiteTips · 27/08/2018 16:01

Oh dear. You really need to set some boundaries for yourself.

Cherrygardenst · 27/08/2018 16:02

I'm fine thanks for the concern

Cherrygardenst · 27/08/2018 16:03

You just annoy me.like an irritating fly

Sophia99 · 27/08/2018 16:05

Yes of course - if you say so, then I guessI am a big fat old racist @TacoLover

Must be all the white privilege I have.

Must be the fact that I have SUCH a blessed life - where nothing goes wrong and everything is handed to me on a plate, and my life is SOOOOO great and I don't have to work at anything (coz I am white,) that is clouding my judgement.

Silly little airheaded fluffy white privileged girl I am!

Shame on me" Hmm

Invaded by the eternally dim.

Putting a Grin after calling someone a fucking idiot doesn't make it any less offensive.

OR against the rules.........

Grin

Well you said it!

Jesus Christ you haven’t a clue what white privilege is have you?

One tiny example. My friend, who is black, called various tradesmen to get quotes. As soon as she said her name, they were all suddenly busy. She wondered if she was being paranoid, so I called, and gave my name. Funnily enough, the exact tradesmen who were busy ten minutes earlier, weren’t so busy.

That is one example of white privilege.

Sophia99 · 27/08/2018 16:16

Off to make a cup of my white privilege cup of coffee. In my white privilege kitchen, in my white privilege house.

Sophia99 · 27/08/2018 16:17

I don't believe a single word of this. Not a single word!

Your username is very apt!
