Billie asked, 'If all lives matter why are black people killed for just being black?' (via toofab)
"I've been trying to take this week to figure out a way to address this delicately," Eilish began."I have an enormous platform and I try really hard to be respectful and take time to think through what I say and how I say it…But holy f--king s--t I'm gonna just start talking."
"IF I HEAR ONE MORE WHITE PERSON SAY ‘aLL liVeS maTtEr’ ONE MORE F--KING TIME IM GONNA LOSE MY F--KING MIND. WILL YOU SHUT THE F--K UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP???" she continued."NO ONE ELSE IS SAYING YOUR LIFE DOESNT MATTER. NO ONE IS SAYING YOUR LIFE IS NOT HARD.. NO ONE IS LITERALLY SAYING ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOU.""ALL YOU MFS DO IS FIND A WAY TO MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF. THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU. STOP MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE NOT IN NEED.
Eilish added to the lengthy post,"YOU ARE PRIVILEGED WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. SOCIETY GIVES YOU PRIVILEGE JUST FOR BEING WHITE. YOU CAN BE POOR, YOU CAN BE STRUGGLING.. AND STILL YOUR SKIN COLOR IS GIVING YOU MORE PRIVILEGE THAN YOU EVEN REALIZE." She then posed the questions,"If all lives matter why are black people killed for just being black? Why are immigrants persecuted? Why are white people given opportunities that people of other races aren't… white f--king privilege."
Referring to people protesting having to wear face masks while carrying semi-automatic guns, Eilish blamed it on"white privilege" as well.
