shared a passionate message to her Instagram followers calling on her white fans to recognize their privilege.
“I’ve been trying to take this week to figure out a way to address this delicately,” Eilish wrote. “I have an enourmous [sic] platform and I try really hard to be respectful and take time to think through what I say and and how I say it… but holy sh– I’m just gonna start talking.” “If I hear one more white person say ‘All Lives Matter’ one more f—ing time I’m gonna lose my f—ing mind. Will you shut the f— up?” Eilish wrote. “No one is saying your life doesn’t matter. No one is saying your life is not hard. No one is saying literally anything at all about you… all you MFs do is find a way to make everything about yourself. This is not about you.
Eilish ended the post by pointing out a few of the ways in which white privilege pervades society and causes people of color to face persecution in much higher numbers.
billieeilish ‘All Lives Matter’
Oog
I agree with this, EXCEPT the black lives matter movement was involved with protest that included 'Dead Cops' chants along with 'Hands up, don't shoot', 'I can breathe'. Hence why people started saying All Lives Matter. It's never as simple as it seems. It's a complex situation.
Real dumb Billie, turning a blind eye to all the white police officers killed during the riots and all the white AND BLACK business owners whose businesses have been burned by haters. AllLivesMatter
Speaking of fire
All lives matter
The worst argument I have ever heard, should we raise the voting age lol?
Who?
ALL LIVES MATTER 👍🏼👍🏼
She did a great job of pointing out White Fragility... the fear among really most whites about losing the reins of power.
Black Lives Matter Blue Lives Matter All Lives Matter Racism is wrong. Prejudice is wrong. backtheblue
how much were you screaming about Tony Tipa in 2016. Same thing happened. i know he was black huh
What about these poo black folks.
Billie Eilish should walk down 79th and Halsted - see whose lives matter (because hers surely wouldn't) then. What an idiot.
the way people don’t understand this is an ANALOGY. it’s not literal. what happened to grade 7 english
bille i likes your songs and i love you
Wow, what a stupid analogy.
Great analogy.
Since some of yall in these mentions wanna be dense on purpose.
well said
sebroche She has always been a sensible girl. 👏
All lives do matter there human and hones aren't
Houses that are next door to fire can burn also so ...
Im 14 and this is deep
Dumbest analogy ever?
Her songs are nice, but that doesn’t make her smart 😳
Er, if the other houses are not on fire, why would the fire department go there? I see what she means, but couldn't you news people highlight more intelligent celebrities?
Cute. Now drop the use of AAVE from your daily life.
no one cares what celebrity thinks
In the end a house is not a living thing. People, people are.
What in the hell kind of “logic” is this?
Yo billieeilish look up Ariel Roman. Was it racist? Should that story be on news shows all over the country 24/7? It had to be racially motivated, right? When do the protests start? Police shoot/abuse white people too. It's a frigged up job & every incident stands alone.
So in her understanding, All Lives Matter, 'ALL' are only black and white? And white has their own privilege already, so don't use 'all' because it's not about white? Okay, so where do we as mongoloid, aborigin, melanisian, and polinesian people stand, Billie?
This is flawed logic, as is the case for most teenagers. “All houses matter” would be most correct in that if one of them catches fire, everyone becomes focused on that burning house at that time, including the FD. Otherwise, any one house could just burn to the ground.
Oh Billie Billie....!
More like SILLY Eillish
A better comparison would be are you going to ask the fire department to check the fire alarms in every house? Or only the houses of black people cause they matter more to you?
If I didn't hate her already.
Moron People are not houses
billieeilish those nails are lame.
It's more than okay to be white!
We need to raise the voting age
Only alien will understand tis statement
Green Lives Matter! 😁
Say that shit again!
You right
Wow... That’s an odd analogy. But okay...🤔
That sounds dumb tho...no 🧢
Who cares what billie eilish says in the first place ? I agree with her but what from what kind of position is she entitled to speak ? 17 year old pop singer ?
Billie gets it
She's somehow right tbh
Weird anology but I get her point
Unfollow seriously you need to work more on your 'news'. It's not like many celebrities are doing way better than just talk trash.
Not about you either
Kid doesn't even realize that when she says 'If I hear one more white person say....' she's actually making it about her while complaining that others are making it about them. 🙄
Yet what she does not understand is that she is considered priveledged by the group she is voicing sympathy for. All lives do matter, not just some. Any unarmed citizen killed by police is murder and that is called justice for ALL.
She’s so brave. Not all heroes wear capes.
Billie Eilish, the whitest most privileged young women publically visible right now renders her opinion on an issue she's never experienced or seen happen to her. Let me check how many fucks I give about Billie 'Living The High Life' Eilish opinion. ZERO.
I CRINGE EVERY TIME WHITE PEOPLE USE THE WORD PRIVIEDGE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE EMBRACING EVERYTHING THAT IS ASSOCIATE WITH THAT WORD
She looks like a character in the Hunger games.
🌟
Zeester_ Ok, it’s your bedtime
She got an award for 1 song?
Lol these celebrities are living on another planet
As she makes it about herself..
I pray that the younger generation will grow up seeing this and realize that GOP needs to be sidelined for a generation
You first hag
