The true meaning of White Privilage...
Grammys winner Harry Styles accused of ‘white privilege’ in acceptance speech backlash
Harry Styles’s Grammys speech has sparked a backlash after he claimed “this doesn’t happen to people like me very often” while accepting an award that white men have won 32 times.
Styles won the coveted album of the year award as well as best pop vocal album for his third studio album, “Harry’s House”, at the 65th awards show in Los Angeles on Sunday.The 29-year-old singer appeared shocked to be taking home the biggest award of the night over artists including Beyonce, Lizzo, Adele, Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny.
“I think on nights like tonight it’s important for us to remember there is no such thing as ‘best’ in music,” he said.“I don’t think any of us sit in the studio making decisions on what is going to get us one of these,” he added, holding up the award.It was the final line of his speech that caused uproar, after he said: “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often and this is so, so nice”.
Social media users were quick to question what Styles, a white male artist and former boy band pop superstar, meant by the comment after edging out women and artists of colour for the award.
He obvously ‘edged out’ people who the selection comittee thought were not as good
Beyonce fans were particularly aggrieved by the snub, the fourth time that the singer has lost out on winning album of the year at the Grammys.Podcast host Sam Sanders tweeted: “’This doesn’t happen to people like me’ is the most white privilege-iest thing to ever be uttered at an awards show ever for all time”.
Saying ‘this doesn’t happen to people like me very often’ when a black woman hasn’t won that award since 1999 is crazy,” another Twitter user said.
White men, including bands and duos fronted by white men, have won nearly half the time, according to an analysis by Insider.Styles is the 33rd white man to accept the album of the year award.
But the night was not without its success for Beyonce, who made history when her album Renaissance picked up a gong for best dance/electronic album.
