Straight Guy Uses histame to support same sex marriage Raps About DrugUse live seen Oxycotton take three lives Drawsattention to fact that racial inequalityisnta thing ofthe past Networth $5 Million Makes cheap clothes a legitimate heroofife motherfickle More Macklemore, less Robin Thicke And yet a huge percentage of Tumblr hates him. Not trying to be confrontational, but could someone ause he is a straight white guy and Tumbir isn't Yup. A lot of people like to ignore all the good things he does simply because he is part of the privileged. Never mind that he flat out acknowledges this in Same Love. (I may not be the same, but that's not important. BLESS YOUR SOULS BLESS YOUR F------ SOULS I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STAND THAT F------ A LOT OF TUMBLR HATES MACKLEMORE BECAUSE HONESTLY HE WAS EVERYTHING THEY WERE COMPLAINING WHITE PEOPLE AREN'T AND NOW THAT THEY GOT A F------ ROLEMODEL THEY SUDDENLY ?BECAUSE HE'S WHITE????? Macklemore grew up privileged, yes, but he understands the inequality and the disturbing gap between rich and poor. He hasa song called White Privilege Hiphop started off in a block that Ive never been to To counter act a struggle that Ive never even been through If I think I understand just because I flow too That means I'm not keeping it true, nope But as I'm blessed with the privilege, theyre still left with the scars AND HAVE YOU HEARD HIS SONG CLAIMING THE CITY??? grew up on Capitol Hill With two parents and two cars. They had a beautiful mamiage, we even had a swing set in our yard My mom didn't have a job, because my dad made enough money that we could live comfortably and he could support us Now, he commute to Tacoma, so we knew we be good But then I realized everybody looked just like me in my lgo to school, which was diverse But indeed us, Igof sandwiches and Capri Suns well my friends ate their free lunch It's crazy trying to look back, cause when I was growing up didn't understand the fact was there's something called a social And my black friends wanted my financial bracket. And then my city's divided, From The police shoot in the hood but never once in my residence As a white person been shot at we'd stopped in a Lexus. And to think that we have claimed that so much has changed OH GOODNESS ME, HE'S SUCH AN A------. HE'S S0 PRIVILEGED GOD HOW ABOUT A WAKE??7 Dont wanna be that white dude, miMion man marchin Fighting for our freedom that my people stole Don't wanna make all my white fans uncomfortable But you don't even have a f-----' song for radio Why you out here falkin race, tryin'to save the f----- globe Dont get involved with the causes in mind White privilege, white guilf, at the same damn time So we just party like its nineteenn Celebrate the ignorance while these kids keep dying Tumblr needs to hop down off it's high f------ horse and instead of tuming against a potential role model and ally to all that they've been f------ preaching about JUST BECAUSE HE'S PRIVILEGED AND WHITE, maybe make him an icon because he's not rapping about disrespecting women. He's making a small change. But because he grew up with a well structured family environment and he was able to afford everything he desired, he's suddenly the Macklemore hate is proof that Tumblr's brand of militant social justice is just made up of a bunch of people with either a victimization fetish and/or a hateful, angry heart seeking acceptable targets, and they then proceed to poison the people that really just want to do good, ultimately mangling d recognition And 99% of people who complain about the first lyric of"Same Love have never actually listened beyond that. Somebody tells them The song starts with when i was in the third grade i thought that i was gay and they start clutching their pearls because surely the whole song is just some straight dude making Igbtqa rights all about him and how he thinks because he thought he was gay when he was eight he knows all about it And maybe it's not the best way to word the beginning of the song, BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY LISTEN OR READ BEYOND THAT it turns out it's a segue into talking about ridiculous stereotypes and preconceived ideas about sexuality and questioning why someone would think it was a bad idea to be gay in the first place. And then it goes on t music genre he's a part of and calling his peers out on slurs and derogatory language and hypocrisy in religion, and it beautifully features Mary f------ Lambert, and goddammit I had trouble driving home when I first heard it in the car because I was f------ crying o discuss the homophobia inherent in the Macklemore is a privileged individual who consistently and vocally acknowledges his privileges and strives to use it to do legitimate good, which is everything Tumblr claims it wants, but as soon as he starts, they scream for him to shut up. Because their need to rage and scream and hate and wallow in willful ignorance is more important to them than seeing actual change take place anywhere in the world so glad i came across this post you have to remember that tumbir so called activists" like to comment on anything that seems potentially bad, even if that means over-shadowing great points and progress that a lot of people, both gay and straight have wished for

theaccidentfactory Follow I explained the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to my 71 year old immigrant grandfather because I referenced it in passing and I thought nothing of it, until today when he said "I think I'll watch peaky blinders tonight and see my blorbo from my shows" referring, of course, to Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby theaccidentfactory English isn't his first language so he's not super in touch with modern slang, so I've been accidentally teaching him to talk like a tumblr user. His favorite thing to say lately is "me when I'm a little hater" when he's like talking s about the neighbor's son
