And light years to go, but at least plenty of us want to get there!
It's tough mate I am not sure its that simple. My missus is a woman of colour and its opened my eyes massively.
I think the language used is part of the problem, privilege is a triggering word to some people and I can't understand why they've persisted with it because all it does it escalate the conversation and shut the opposition down.
I would personally say everyone has privilege which in a way means nobody has it. Its all differing sides, women have privilege too and being black has its privileges but my privilege as a straight white male seems to be the only one that matters. I've had these conversations with her and she often forgets one of her privileges is she is from money, her dad is minted.
The missus is a psychologist so by default she is an 'SJW'. I might be a 'straight white male' but I am an immigrant, I don't come from money and I am self-made. What got me my job was seeking out another Irish person and making a good impression not being white and educated. Those are sometimes the silly things where all context gets stripped away.
They really are boring and pretentious aren't they?
These people are too well paid and too sheltered.
I don't know the stats of how many top women directors released films this year, maybe, just maybe, there wasn't anything good enough? I can't see the organisers wouldn't want to be all pc and have a women win it.
And no black actors I'm assuming? Again, bigger problems in the world occupy my time than these ultra rich, self important actors, but some of THE biggest actors in the world are black, not their colour crosses my mind, just that they are brilliant. Samuel L Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Denzil Washington, Laurence Fishburn, Forest Whittaker, Will Smith, Jamie Fox.
If they told me they had been discriminated, I'd listen. I'm not really interested in a pampered white actors opinion, if he wasn't happy, he could have declined to go.
How many muslims have won the jewish oscar academy award?
Black people win loads in the grammies, do white people complain.
It's simple if you want shit done. Learn from the jewish community and work harder.
This is going to sound a bit harsh.
Black people hate the word N being used. So why in their music are they allowed to use it so freely?
Jewish people make us remember the holocaust, year in year out. So why is the leader of Israel so friendly with fascist leaders Brazil and usa). They tell us about concentration camps. Palestine resembles a concentration camp.
Muslims want inclusion. But why do they have such harsh views on homosexuality. (Most religions do to be fair, apart from Anglican church of england. Where they actually have homosexual priests)
Women want equal pay in sport. (Ronaldo gets paid high cause he can generate income). A football match with 1000 spectators ain't exactly going to cover Ronaldo's wages.
For inclusion, diversity and equality to work. Some minorities in the equality act really need to pull up their socks too, as it will feed the facist argument.
I don't know which you're annoyed at JPA, the man wearing the badge or the other dopes reaction.
Why is a grown man wearing an EU badge and why is some other lad just pure ignorant and retarded.
Now if he wore a Union Jack Badge and someone moaned at him I'd have nothing to say to either of them.
I really don't get the EU love-in either. Every second person I see on Twitter has an EU flag beside their profile.
Such radicals!!
