Stormzy said he was making his £10m donation to fight racial inequality because"the uncomfortable truth that our country continuously fails to recognise and admit, is that black people in the UK have been at a constant disadvantage in every aspect of life - simply due to the colour of our skin.
"I'm lucky enough to be in the position I'm in and I've heard people often dismiss the idea of racism existing in Britain by saying 'If the country's so racist how have you become a success?!' and I reject that with this: I am not the UK's shining example of what supposedly happens when a black person works hard.
"There are millions of us. We are not far and few. We have to fight against the odds of a racist system stacked against us and designed for us to fail from before we are even born.
Not true!!!!
What if he runs out of money?
Ents If only others would follow in his footsteps!
He hasn’t done too bad from the oppressive system ha makes me laugh antagonistic and confrontational music can’t rap lol
Most street gangs are black people. Drug dealers are black people, knife carriers are black people, if your after more respect get your fellow black people to abide by the law. Same goes to all the white people in same above categories.
The govt's strategy of deflecting attention away from issues such as the Covid-19 cluster fuck, the impending recession, and no deal brexit, is working a treat.
Stormzy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stormzy hates whites!
Let’s just bring back slavery! We’re (whites) being accused of everything anyway! Black criminal dies and you all become bleating sheep, or one trick mindless drones!
Whoever told us 'Love is blind lied to us'!! Hate is blind. Love makes us see others in their true dignity and not exploit them. Haters diminish, Lovers multiply....BLACK_LIVES_MATTER
He doesn't look like someone been at constant disadvantage. If he was he wouldn't have made that money, and if he can why can't his fellow blacks follow suit? Shouldnt he be teaching them how to follow his steps to be successful instead of 'fighting racism'? checkyourprivilege
So disadvantaged he has £10 mil tk give away.
Wait until you see what your imperialist government still do to Africa, Latin America and Asia
That absolute state of this comment section. So much hate, so much division, so much racism, so much bigotry, so much vile, so little empathy. Very sad state of affairs.
Can they give examples of proof As to why they think they have many black people in high positions and jobs
What a load of rubbish.
well he hasn't done bad has he talking total rubbish he should listen to Morgan freeman on the subject
Im White and havent got 10 million... yeah its so unfair! What a horrible country to live in!
Bullshit
I beg, invest the money in black economic ventures.
What disadvantage?!!
What complete and utter bollocks! Stormzy has been so disadvantaged he's only able to give 10 million quid away 🤔
It’ll probably be spent on knives
Yeah he looks disadvantaged
I just don't understand why this whole issue wasn't in the news before the George Floyd incident? I'm 39, and it seems that all the good progress made by my generation has been for nothing. Unravelled by one bloke in the US
Ents This sounds very encouraging by Stormy. Is it churlish to ask who will monitor how the money is spent and by whom? I would hate to see his kindness and generosity hijacked 🙏
That’s all very well and good but there are still some British comedy series available to watch online!!! WE NEED TO DELETE THEM ALL NOW!!! If we don’t remove comedy, that £10m won’t help anyone. blacklivesmatter
I don't believe that for one moment that is not true. I worked in London & worked with lots of educated Black people who had very good positions. There are equal amount of White people who are not capable of holding down jobs or buying their own home. You just have to want it.
Give an example. Healthcare? Welfare? white working-class boys performing the worse in Education, social housing? Where is it don't just say it give the examples.
Not if you want to be a rap artist!
Most of that is down to criminality, bad education and low aspirations. When will black people take some owness of some of the issues they face instead of blaming society.
Odd most modern day slavery is black on black. Just like crime.. Funny old world
Wondered when he'd put in an appearance.
What young black people need are role models instead of portrayals of gangsters( I’m not saying his music is as never heard it) lots of music and tv glamorising crime in general, Peaky blinders for example.... although it is a good show. example where is the black Chris Packham?
If uk is that bad a place for black people to live why is it that every immigrant and migrant is risking their lives coming from France by boat to get to Britain. Hasn't anyone told them how bad it is here?
Racist bbc has a non white only recruitment pklicy
I had a chat b4 with some1 blatantly racist about white people, how about a story of that. Or the BLM posters calling all white people Nazis and inciting violence. Or Lewis Hamilton being a hypocritic working for companies that used slave labour in the war?
Unité unité unite
Stormzy is a racict no suprise.
The racebaiter in chief pimped by the Marxist BBC. DefundTheBBC
So has the white working class, especially the boys which the BBC don’t give a fig about
Oh bore off mate .... no doubt it will only go to black people which, just like your scholarships to universities, is racist
Loves to self publicise, must be hard being a multi millionaire 🥸
Has disadvantaged him much, wonder if he would have been so generous f it hadn’t been good publicity
more white bashing
South Africa is 5 times bigger than the UK. That is just ONE of 54 black African ruled nations of Africa, so why are they moving to this small island, having families here then screaming they are being oppressed because of evil whitey ie. the natives of these islands 🤨
Stormzy has the entire establishment on his side, try and find one politician that would dare to disagree with him. A Black person being pro black isn’t edgy, If you want to see who doesn’t have the power, try being a white person that’s openly pro white.
This is a man who use the N word to describe himself and others.
White Britons arent the highest earners per household in the uk. White other, Asian other, Indian & Chinese are all above us. Surely in a white supremacist country whites would be the highest earners due to oppression of others?🤔 there are so many nuances missed in your argument
WHEN
Black celebrities: *does their bit to tackle racial inequality* Gammon Twitter: 'bAnDwAGon, pR sTunT, hEs nOt oPpResSed 😡'
This is total BBC bollocks! I come from a poor London back ground. We were all in the same boat regardless of colour. I had to study advance Physics and Maths basically by myself. This article has been written by some posh BBC journalist that knows nothing about the subject.
He’s after you Boris 👊
Another millionaire crawling out of the woodwork saying they are oppressed, Jog on to somewhere else if you aren’t happy with the Uk, But you can leave your money as I’m sure it’s all been given to you by White People.
The only ppl at a disadvantage from the out start of life are the poor. White or black if you are from a poor family & mummy & daddy can’t help buy your first car or your deposit to a house or help with anything financial then it’s disadvantage. Class divide not colour
These Slave Mentality Blacks are exhausting. White liberals haven't managed to convince any other group to identify as such a hapless bunch, devoid of self responsibility in need of constant affirmation Chinese, Indians etc. have too much pride and ambition to beg sympathy
That’s nice of the homophobe!
Disadvantage? 1) When White Brits in American colonies did not get along with White Brits in England we segregated ourselves (revolution). 2) The UK should 2a) prevent further non-white immigration 2b) pay non-whites to leave UK and renounce any claims 3) Integration doesn't work
The gammons are strong on this thread shutup
I am getting so sick of the divide being whipped up yet again by the media - so so sick
Rubbish talked and given a platform, pathetic
Stormzy, wealthier than 99% of the UK population.
In every western country East Asians do the best financially. In every western country Black people do the worst financially. In every western country white people are blamed for lack of black financial success and disproportionately high black crime rates.
The fact that this cunt has £10 million is the most puzzling thing
If scholarships were 'White Only', they'd be called racist...
WARNING!! You are entering a gammon free zone! If you are going to make a gammon comment, please take it elsewhere!
Can black people be racist? Or is it just white people.
He does come out with some class A bullshit.
Oh.. the irony 🤣
