Im white. As a man in a privileged position, I have to be vocal about this,

I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.

The industry is flawed. It sets men, especially white men, up for success. It’s designed this way. As a man in a privileged position I have to be vocal about this. Because of my ignorance, I didn’t recognise it for all that it was while it was happening in my own life but I do not want to ever benefit from others being pulled down again.

I have not been perfect in navigating all of this throughout my life. I want to take accountability for my own missteps in all of this as well as be part of a world that uplifts and supports. I care deeply about the wellbeing of the people I love and have loved. I can do better and I will do better.

I wish I was not white. I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem.

I wish you were not white, too, because I am, and you revolt me as a white man. How do you know that you are privileged? You think you know because the SJWs have created the phrase “white privilege.” They also made up “toxic masculinity.” Next, they will offer “double-pluss ungood,” when 1 of them accidentally reads Orwell’s 1984. White men are exploited daily by corporate America and by women.

Strong people don’t look for expiation on internet websites.

I thought the guy was joking. Maybe Just doing a parody of the celebs that have been “sincerely” apologizing for their advantages.

I assumed he was joking too. It would be pathetic if he wasn't.

The guy is a RAPIST - Do you understand ???

What the hell does any of that have to do with Bill Cosby?

He made it to the top of an industry that was dominated by white men, and abused his power when he got there. This has nothing to do with race, it's all about how power and privilege corrupt.

Cosby was one of the greatest successes in the history of television, black or white. He went to prison because he drugged and raped women, not because he was black.

He went to prison because he told black men to pull up their pants.

Women getting high and having sex for gain is not rape.

Besides white men are having trouble finding work these days in any field. But yeah, this guy... Think of how fruitless one's life must be to look to false guilt to find one's 'feels'.

[–] JFZ (1459) a year ago

>As a man in a privileged position, I have to be vocal

I’m guessing you’re actually black.

If not, STFU.
