pink didn’t do anything but repost billie eilish’s words lmao

My father was left on the steps of a Cardiff orphanage because he was mixed race would he been if he was white? Is a question he burdened himself with everyday BlackLivesMatter

All lives matter but in my last tweet one reason for escalations Social media moderate under strict laws violence will stop 🛑

Eh ? Whites don’t matter but they don’t need to matter because we’re privileged for being white? Far from fucking privileged, love your music🤷‍♂️ if I’m allowed 2.

Why don't we see each other as human beings rather than a colour or am I just stupid

That’s because all lives do matter, and it’s sweet coming from someone who is privileged saying all whites are privileged. It isn’t a colour thing, it’s an inner city area thing. Go to school, not encouraged to be anything, do anything. Common gangs etc etc

I'll just leave this here....

WhiteLivesMatter sorted

Yeh sure, 'All lives matter', what, freedom of speech and expression, red flag to a bull mate!

In times like this it just shows how unimportant ppl like this really are

Virtue signal man here It seems more white celebrities speak for everyone from their ivory towers. Virtue signalling set of pricks. Virtue signal man awwwaaaayyy

You see white lives don't matter now ...thats Racist too

Pink and the other drip mentioned in the article should realise their job is to sing and dance and not try and educate us with their liberal nonsense.

White privileged people criticise White privilege

Surely all lives do matter or am I missing something
