She doesn't just dis White people, she lashes out at anyone, and she is particularly very homophobic and had her twitter account shut down for homophobic tweets. She is just a miserably ****, and will end up being her own worst enemy. People like that don't last long in showbiz. She will eventually be dropped by her labels and refused by venues to hold concerts because they won't want to deal with the possible liability she will sure to cause.

People talk about how white people feel emboldened now to say racist things.

I find the exact opposite to be true. It's non-whites now I hear saying more stupid and mean spirited things toward white people, men in particular.

It's like it's cool now to hate on the white guy.

People should treat everyone with basic respect. It's stupid that I have to even say this out loud.

What a mean spirited and callous comment to make toward all of that awful suffering those people went through.

It's the politics and other controversies forum.

Some people find what she said to be controversial.

Imagine she was white? Referring to "POC or the LGBTQ?" You act like someone (anyone) is defending her statements? Most horrible statements made by anyone are not defended... Get over your misplaced outrage.

Whilst SJW's would be launching a sustained campaign against her.

As it is there are a couple of media reports which will quickly be forgotten about.
If you are really that concerned about mute politicians - write them, don't just post your anger to a website. Don't like what SJW's choose to protest? Get out there in the street and make your own protest.

I'm surprised someone of her ilk studied enough history to know about the famine.

Looks like this all started bc she was treated poorly (in her opinion) on a flight by Irish flight attendants.

I don't have any misplaced rage, I merely pointed out the fact that if it had been directed and other sections of society then there would be calls for her to be banned from countries. A lot of people including the Phelps family are banned from ever entering the UK because of their LGBTQ views, as are others in relation to race.

I merely called for a level playing field, whereby one group can't claim victimisation if anything is said, whilst it's seen as pefectly acceptable to attack another group in such a disgusting way, including mention of a famine that killed millions

What is a "regular white"?

And I hate to burst your bubble but whites and Irish aren't relying on black folks and/or the LGBTQ Community for anything, let alone being saved.

LOL - I was joking and also a bit serous about the OP coming on here to complain about a white singer bashing Irish people and acting like she isn't getting a lot of slap back cause it wasn't the blacks and gays.



What I stated is jokingly but kind of true, black twitter-ers and LGBTQ twitter-ers just have very quick slap backs to stuff like this.



Most regular people in general don't care about this sort of crap. I'm wondering why the OP brought up black people and LGBTQs when this was a comment about Irish people. It is as if he/she wants the blacks and LGBTQs to say something back to her for the Irish lol. It is silly.

Look around, no one is supporting her. Your assumptions are totally made up.

I didn't claim anyone was supporting her, however this incident isn't a one off and she has a history of haterful behaviour.

Other people have been banned from countries for far less.
