The “Gammon” debate

I assume he's referring to your use of the word 'coloured' Kev.

I struggle to keep up with what's meant to be offensive and what isn't nowadays, so I find it best to just try and be offensive to all races and religions so as not to be accused of discrimination.

I think that's an excellent stance your taking there, quite admirable.

You ask what white privilege means so I tell you in one sentence what it means

You ignore said post and continue to ask what it means, so I post a link to an article explaining what it means

You then ignore the article and suggest it can’t be true because the article is from the Huffington post despite the fact that the article is not trying to argue if its true or not but simply explaining what the term means (and thus once again answering your question).

I then post the original article from 1998 which coined the term, once again answering your question.

You reply 'You've nothing else then'.

This is another level of bizarre mate.

Probably because in my opinion (I assume I'm allowed to have an opinion even though I'm "white") the concept of "white privilege" is nonsense. So as far as I'm concerned whatever articles you want to throw around, I'm not bothered. If you want to believe this stuff that's your privilege, but don't expect me to swallow it. Ta!

Yeah you clearly were never interested in what it means because you're still pushing this idea that it's an anti white term that somehow attempts to silence white peoples opinion.

You admit to not knowing what it means and then refuse to read up on what it means and yet you think you're qualified to say its nonsense. Incredible lol

I get what people mean by "white privilege" to be honest

It's often subconscious

For instance, you don't get hassled at an airport because you're white but the middle eastern looking bloke in front of you does

Stuff like that is what white privilege is. As a white person, you don't even tend to realise that it's happening

Hahahahahahaha.

It's so funny because it has an element of truth to it.

Someones left ye dad unattended on the internet again.

There’s a positive correlation between those who find Roy Chubby Brown funny and those who are upset by the use of the phrase Gammon as a ‘slur’.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

One thing I will say though is that just because white privilege is a thing doesn't mean that you can't be racist to a white person

People who post stuff like "Kill all white men" on Twitter are being both sexist and racist IMO

Hating someone expressly because of their race makes you a racist, regardless of what race it is

White privilege is not a permission slip to target white people with racist abuse

Would you compare rich black men to a food product? Of course not

I detest double standards to be honest. They infuriate me

I wish Azul where here to see this glorious UKIP riddled attempt at outrage.
