Stormzy has announced he will donate £10m to black British causes over the next ten years: “Organisations, charities and movements that are committed to fighting racial inequality, justice reform and black empowerment within the UK.” 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.
REGYATES I’m back with smile on my face again thanks to jace_coleman1 I don’t know what to say I was skeptical but I am proud to let the world know that you’re the reason behind my successful trades life!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless you for your good works
Love you!!...but I’m just wondering if Dappy is ok Random I know but I really think you and him could make amazing tunes xx
KaylumDennis real king shyt thats why i fcks wit stormzy
He is giving away £10 million, wow not bad for a racist country where he has no privilege.
For this scum.
Statue please. stormzystatue
ShappiKhorsandi If people are struggling it’s no wonder that people look after their own families first ,it’s a conservative thing to do and if your in Stormzy’s family there’s a probably that your black too
REGYATES Woah✊🏽
Wired__PR Hi Wired__PR. My Aunt runs a Supplementary educational projects for the Black Community in Croydon CSEP8. She's been trying to contact you and Stormzy to see if he would be interested in endorsing and supporting the school become a patron
Sounds a lot, but over 10yrs, it’s like you and I donating £50 a month.
This guy should practice what he preaches, i remember the time when he offered a scholarship to only black students. Racism works both ways brother!!! In order to eradicate racism, we need to identify racism within every race.
antoguerrera 👑
Tax dodge
So it’s ok for him to sexist then ... these lyrics are ok with everyone yeah
Why is it that me saying (which I wouldn't) that I wanted to donate to white causes is racist, yet this man isn't?
Go out and buy yourselves a good knife so you can stab each other
I bet he doesn't
bendepear Blinded By Your Grace - Arise Sir Stormzy? Ha ha, take that establishment.
Can't believe the comments on here..any excuse, and the mask slips..embarrassing
The fact that people are seriously upset that stormzy wants to help a community that YOU WHITE PEOPLE TORE DOWN AND ABUSED THE FUCK OUT OF is disgusting. Ought to be ashamed if yourselves 🤣🤣 £10m doesn’t even match the amount of ££ that’s been exploited from our community.
Great job Stormzy... we all see why an individual is trying very hard to help. As I always say, ppl ask u why re doing this job, with a degree, oh! It's not about what u study, it's who u knw. What a pain to carry hatred in ur heart, all ur life for others who don't look like u.
That's direct sponsor of terrorists
Lmao union jack twitter are losing their shit 🤣
The man's a legend. This is not the first time he's been outspoken (Grenfell) nor the first time he's put his money where his mouth is. King.
It’s his money I cannot see any argument here.
Wonder how many racists get triggered over this? Well done Stormzy. Sad that successful black people have to use their success to help their communities when good governance should be doing that instead. Good governance would improve all our lives. We need more political power.
Does he still hate women and gays? Lots of hate it seems. Not good. But hey, you can be forgiven for past transgressions, I'm pretty cool about rehabilitation and doing better stuff later in life. Except if you're white, of course. Different rules.
What about poor asians and poor white kids? I hope the white / Asian celebs and billionaires are only interested in helping their own race. This would be racist by any other race. 1M a year is about a millionth of what white/asian tax payers contribute to them but get no thanks.
Everyone here complaining please suck your dead relatives with a bendy straw
Just do it. Don't advertise it. It waters down the gesture
laurenmurray Racist
If you genuinely believe that this in itself is racist, you need your head looking at 🤦🏻♂️
When will Black Lives Matter protestors descend on The Guardian. After death of Lincoln the paper declared his presidency “abhorrent” specifically his Proclamation of Emancipation – the act which decreed 'all persons as held as slaves” henceforward shall be free
🙌
He’s racist simple as now stop giving clowns like this the time of day!!!! 😡
Absolutely racist, I will now donate to white and Indian and our wonderful police charities only. All his lyrics are about violence and guns.
good heart!!! I wm single mum and i need help too 😟😟😟😟 Stormzy help
Of course he is! Does this surprise anyone what this racist does?
And back to his ivory tower.
This will buy lots of guns and knives
ShappiKhorsandi And all the racists go:
Racist
No, but it's not racist because the millionaire black man is part of the oppressed race.
Good man.
ShappiKhorsandi A few years ago an old British multi millionaire (name forgotten) wanted to donate millions to white's only but monies were rightly refused on the ground of racism.
I am 3% black, do I get any of this money that I haven't earned in anyway?
Your an inspiration 😃 to nobody at all lol and your music is shit lmao xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lukaku
It’ll be probably spent on knives
This is great! Notice how its not to BLM....
Interesting that he stil maintains blacks are disadvantaged at every stage of their life in the UK. Blacks/Mixed race make up 5% of population. Percentage of black/Mixed first team players in EPL is approx 35-50%. Media and entertainment industry shows similar disproportion. Why?
Inbred 'black/white' Skin-Apartheid per Horrid History! Seems absurd inanity to aspire by Eurocentric skin-apartheid - per 'black people', 'black empowerment', 'black lives' - yet complain when gov'nance &society focus on skin! Q:Does Stormzy disdain Africans &being African? .
can he not do this kind of thing without a press conference?
Awesome freakin Awesome
Let’s have a look at these comments then....
Dulwich College south London Winchester College Hampshire turn down £1million scholarship donation for white boys from impoverished families from Sir Bryan Thwaites over fears that it would break equality laws. All supporters of equality please re tweet StayAlert AllLivesMatter
CookieGun
JackieEyewe OUTSIDE
Black supremacy more like
The state of these replies is unsurprising. But imagine these individuals as employers, colleagues, people in positions of influence, chosen for jury service etc. If this is what they believe, do you see them making fair and informed decisions about minorities? Me neither.
Amazing 👏🏿💙👊🏿
You don't cure racism with racism.
Is Stormzy still a homophobe? Or is he a hero now? I can't work it out
tanita_tikaram and nothing to anyone else , i can go back to Band Aid, pity he wasnt around then he could have saved Africa and saved all us others a lot of money
That’s someone putting their money where their mouth is and not inciting violence hoorah for sensible and stormzy
I dont see what good throwing £ at the problem will do
There are only 150 comments on this tweet so far, I’m sure, in the current environment especially, not that many will be racist and we will have learne... ah, never mind. Never mind.
I hope he stays relevant ten years is a long time in the music industry
They got right pic
ShappiKhorsandi Yeah. To BLACK causes. What if I donated a huge sum to WHITE causes? Just saying....
Reading these comments got me like....that's enough Twitter for today 💀 big up Stormzy!!!!!!!!
He is a disease
It’s doesn’t mean anything, it works out as 50p (quick mafs) per black person per year😂 and let’s not forget that a huge tax break for stormzy💅🏻
We do a disservice to non whites by alienating them rather than celebrating them. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
Legend. 👍🏾 🇬🇧
Took 1 post for someone to find something negative with this
Common sense is the greatest intelligence. Black academics need to get of the woods and shift towards decent whites. Stop the division. More inclusivity please.
I am all for equality. Black, brown, yellow, purple people’s rights. But you can’t ‘blackwash’ everything. Holding a gun to people’s heads to enforce an apology is going backwards. Nothing wrong with Jimmy Fallon, Keith Lemon impressions etc. Honourable intentions.
24 hours after the media attempted to scold the Black Lives Matter protesters into abandoning the term 'Defund the Police' have turned around & are now attempting to stuff 'Reform the Police' down everyone's throats still not mentioning the Drug War/Culture War budgets at all.
Reading the comments here, it's incredible how few people, it seems, know what the word 'racism' means. Is it intentional? Or is it an educational issue? Anyway, if you're not sure if I'm talking about you, it's probably you. Start with the dictionary.
no words 💕. greatest of all time.
A watersports threesome with hung top stormzy and power bottom OwenJones84 is a my ultimate fantasy. No question.
Imagine the out cry if Ed Sheerna donsted 10m to white british causes
He won’t be around that long
Racism at its finest
Nothing for good causes that benefit non black people then? There is a word for that. Gets overused a lot but a believe the word is racist He is definitely a Hypocrite though.
He's definitely the poster boy for black oppression and inequality... 🤔
incredible, why ?, that means that Tomorrow whites will be banch and hit by colour people, or they will be allow to make vandalism all over, and with that money colour people will pay lawyers to justify what they did?
Just so you know, if your a poor white person in his area, this doesn't include you.
Bit racist!
a king is what he is
I will donate £10 to British black causes over 20 years if he stops making crap music
ShappiKhorsandi Ok for you to be racist! How much of your wealth is from us dreadful white racists yet you can fund ‘black charities’ imagine if I was wealthy and stated I was donating to ‘white charities’ hypocrisy at its best 🤬
I don’t have £10M to spare. I am white. Where’s my white privilege?
Washing his money...
looool the salt in these comments
And how is that not racial discrimination?
He’ll get even more endorsements off the back of this and make even more money. He isn’t losing 10m out of his pocket. Grow up people he used the situation to better himself
landloulou Net worth less than a million!
All in the best UK tradition of philanthropy 👏👏👏 privileged providing financial assistance with education and the arts for underprivileged minorities and in return receiving honours and statues 🤔
Why he didn’t do it earlier?
icklepickle Hi, please support this petition that seeks to embed equality in uk teaching and decolonise uk curriculum. Sign and share would be appreciated.
What if his record sales flop and he can't afford to donate 10m?
another racist, gang culture promoter
10 mil on rubber knives
ShappiKhorsandi Oh ok so that’s not racism?
Nice one stormzy! This will get all the bigots rattled lol
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Just BLACK surely that’s RACIST
Well done Stormzy, actual action which will have real results and not just virtue signalling by everyone else. I hope other multi millionaires will follow.
This is not Stormzy. Do better.
There’s better celebrities than stormzy that donate to causes like BlackLifesMatters
Everyone has the right to spend their money on causes that they feel worthy
That picture is NOT Stormzy
Please don’t let the government get their hand on any of that money!
Only black causes? That’s racist. Throw in him the sea and ban all his music immediately
What’s this picture please? 😂🤣😂 Do better I am sure you have seen Stormzy before and you know this isn’t the same guy?!!
Loooove him
So now you're putting up a man, who has rapped with homophobic lyrics? So anything that might represent slavery is bad, but rapping with homophobic slurs is okay? 🤦♂️
Gammonatti: 'Fix your communities & sort your problems out, stop the gang violence blah blah' **Black artist invests own money to deal with those issues & encourage improvement in Black communities** Gammonatti: 'DATS FOOKIN RACIST!' These gammons just want summat to nag about
He’ll get even more endorsements off the back of this and make even more money. He isn’t losing 10m out of his pocket. Grow up people he used the situation to better himself
My word. The comments on this thread are abhorrent!!! I don't know who you are Stormzy but fair play mate.
His music is part of the problem
I love how he’s split the payment over 10 years 😂
lol some boy
Over 10 years. Probably waiting to shift some stock.
What about the homeless ? 🤔
Jesus wept, these comments
Tomorrows headline reads ' Stormzy responsible for an influx of well heeled knives' ?
What a bloody brilliant Croydon Lad he is!! X
Oh, my hero...not. Easy come, easy go eh Stormzy!
Stormzy is a poster boy for Capitalism.
SBTVonline He might struggle now he’s alienated a lot of his white fans with his hypocrisy and slightly racist attitude towards certain people
Yet more racism from Stormzy. Par for the course.
Well done spend the majority of it to educate not to fucking stab each other. Oh that doesn't sell records!!!
The systematic racism is failing to stop black men gain money. Somebody do something!!!!! Also this is blatant tax avoidance as most celebrities do.
Wow. Looking at some of the comments on here... I never fully realised just how easily upset racist douchebags really are. And they call Liberals 'snowflakes'?
GOOD FOR YOU IS THAT IT THEN ,,PROBLEM SOLVED
Awesome solidarity ✊🏿
The gammons are out in full force today.
Rap music is fuckin awful shite, how do you make that much making that drivel 😕🤔
That’s not even him
Surely the money would be better spent on poorer communities rather than just black people in general? You aren't fixing the problem.
Which will no doubt be equally matches by pritipatel after she has received a letter fro black/ Asian MPs. She will react so she says
He hasnt even got £10m ! And if he had hed give £10m now lol. He wont be selling albums in 2 years !
Here for the comments
What about white British causes, do white British causes not matter? I'll donate some money too, only to white people in need though.
Good for him. That is not Stormzy in your picture though. Good grief.
N
Can we donate to white british causes or would that be a rayciss?
.should rap and RnB now be banned?, the lyrics don’t come anymore degrading and racist. Should this music still be allowed in 2020?
If I donated to 'white' causes I think people would say I was racist. I think if there were any specifically 'white' causes there would be outrage.
Isn’t that racism at its worse?
Shut up 👍👍👍
This picture isn’t of Stormzy! Come on, be better than that.
Guys... is this Stormzy?
Greekbluenose The comments
Would be more impressive if it was both black and white causes !
That's a bit racist isnt it?
To donate, means not donated yet.😉
Dear everyone, it’s a pledge. That’s all.
Ten years? his career won't last five. Just like every other British rap 'artist'.
Stormzy 100% wanker!
SBTVonline Is that even stormzy in the pic!? Smh 🤦♂️
Imagine the uproar if someone announced the same for whites
tezilyas The fact that they need it is disgusting in itself. Black people still having to bail out Black people because of the crimes of White people 💔✖️
Do donate! Shalza is the Biggest Beggar with Always Folded Hands!
Top man.
The mother fucker hasn't even got 10 million. Just another publicity stunt to make him look good and just makes him racist
Well done
Fingers crossed it's for plane tickets 🤞
Singling out donations for people on the basis of their race is... *racist*
That's kind of racist...!
Because he's so oppressed and under privileged! What a joke!
about time... tho he had to be shamed into doing it by BLM i just hope his deeply misogynistic views are not amplified too
Does that include the primate center in Dorset
protectStormzy
Put that man on a plinth
And determined to make sure everyone knows.
Why not just remove them all from your islands permanently? Why are the British subjecting themselves to this masochistic torture?
Would the Guardian care comment on your founder profiteering from the slave trade with the cotton produced in the American South? Kind of hypocrites how you view racism and your smug, holier than thou attitudes?
Let's see the FIRST 1M!
rap music is offensive
Are there any ‘White’ British causes that we should be made aware of? If so, would they be classed as racist? Asking for a friend!
That’s good . He’ll be broke in 2
He hasnt got 10M
Putting his money where his mouth is, more than 99% of these virtue signalling celebrities have been doing Good for him,hope it’s aimed at providing education in black community and giving them skills to get ahead so they Don’t turn out unemployable with chips on their shoulders
What are 'black British causes'?
Top Man.
Stop dividing UK with your racist music you mug.
I'll look forward to a white artist announcing he'll donate to only white causes. I'll then sit back and watch twitter and the media erupt. This is preferential treatment for his own race. The double standards is alarming.
Tax right off
provided his career progresses he wont notice it missing year on year
UniofOxford you're up!
Having £10m to spare in an oppressive society is quite something.
Is that it? Pointless gesture.
Come back to me with that one in ten years' time.
