'high developed, international metropolis' means nothing. the british are racist too, just not as extreme or as overt as americans
its funny seeing someone shocked about something you have to go through everyday, white people think racism is just screaming the N word all day. even then, how many videos are there of people going on racist tirades on buses in london?

someone who got rich making black music is shocked racism still exists u couldnt make it up

It still isn't common in England.

Like I said, I've never seen someone being visibly racist when I've been out and about and I don't know anyone that has. Anyone who recorded one of those videos was presumably shocked themselves, and as a result they recorded it.

OMG http://metro.co.uk/2016/01/20/sam-sm...racism-5634054.

If a white singer dominating at the MOBOs wasn’t bad enough, the same dude wants to lead a crusade against racism.

They are shady af for this

[igninton]

I get what he is saying.

Racism is extremely rare in London as it's a really multicultural city.

How is it that a member from Chile and another from Canada know more about my city than me.

I have lots of family members there. Hell I've been racially profiled at the airport.

I don't expect him to encounter it publicly but the fact he isn't even aware is....alarming.

[LilKim]

... Like what kinda bubble do/did you live in, Sam?

like he just discovered racism actually exists

[!Blue!]

Ok but why is getting dragged?

The police were so unhelpful in the situation and its deeply shocked me.

Ugh..

I havent say anything about London race relations, the ****. In fact im just posting what that metro thingy posted, i havent made my judgement about the whole thing. I havent even said that people in London are racist lol because i dont live there.

[careerfatality]

I've never seen anyone experience verbal racial abuse in England either.

Why would they drag him for sympathizing with the situation and being supportive?

OP: They are dragging him because he's now going to act like he's some kind of white savior to the POC that experience racism, thats what im reading.

This slippery slope.

He's shedding light on this awful situation that happened to him and his POC friend in London. He isn't leading some march and talking over a POC

Racially profiled at the airport? Do you mean stopped and searched because I have too, every time I enter from France. Another time from Germany, too. I'm white, a British citizen, of course with a British passport. I'm not the only one either.

His wording is terrible, but I totally understand what he's saying. I'd be shocked if I saw racial abuse in public as well as I've obviously never experienced it first hand and don't know anyone who behaves that way. It's London - a multicultural capital!

Numbers may show that some are minorities but you can't go anywhere without seeing someone who isn't white.

They saying he's a typical clueless white boy https://twitter.com/search?q=%22Sam%20Smith%22&src=tren

[Adonis]

Does he even know how America was created? Or his countries role in the slave trade and racism in general?

Or maybe he is one of those racism is just a preference gays.

Oh no at the customs. "Don't forget who you are and where you came from" were the exact words then detained me for 30 minutes.

Hmm yeah I guess you're right. Probably poor wording.

Lemme tell you something, y'all look more pathetic than him
That first page is straight-up embarrassing

[Rainsford]

I would've died if the title of this thread was "Sam Smith is SHOOK"

[hausofhofverbergs]

well I think it's good he understands racism exists, even tho i don't understand what he means with that he didn't know it could happen here? Extreme right-wing parties are getting more and more influential in Europe? It's just shocking he's been so ignorant or living in a bubble.
