So Stormzy said it is 100% true that Britain is racist. The media said Stormzy said Britain is 100% racist. Now white people are getting outraged over the fact that Stormzy called Britain racist, instead of getting outraged over the fact that Britain is clearly fckn racist.

Three years ago today, I had an interview at BBC Breakfast. I screwed up and was rejected. Today, I left my hospitality job of going on 4 years to begin a new job at Channel 4 - for which I beat 1000 people. Moral of the story: NEVER GIVE UP 💪🏽

@shakirastuff_ @JLo JLo was not the first, as she is suggesting. Ricky Martin crossed over shortly before she debuted. She has also neglected to mention Enrique Iglesias, the King of Latin Pop, who crossed over that same year (1999). Shakira crossed over in 2001.

@jimbosmyname @planetjedward Nope. I'm Muslim. The Qu'ran, like the Bible, condemns homosexual acts but not just being homosexuality. But countries like Dubai have literally illegalised the mere existence of homosexuality. Regardless, religion has no place in politics; one's religion should be one's own.

Queer White folk benefit from White privilege, yes - just like men-of-colour benefit from male privilege... Visibly male, no? & frankly, I'd rather be a PoC in the West (which I am) than LGBTQ+ in the East 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Steve_Laws_ True. Two things can be true. We can support Ukraine in this war but also criticise Ukraine/Zelenskyy for their problems. But right now, the former takes priority. That said, supporting Zelenskyy in this war doesn't mean we should elevate him to sainthood.
