Evidently, Change.org has been allowing ridiculous petitions up on their site.
“Adele sold over 3.38 million copies of her album ‘25′ and the media is praising her as if Adele’s success has everything to do with talent,” reads the petition, written by Rhianna Jones. “Rather, it’s her white privilege that has put her on top,” it declares. The petitioners also “demand that Adele donates her money to African-American causes such as #Blacklivesmatter.”
One has to wonder about the activists behind this issue. What crosses the mind of a real adult when they sign this petition? With under two-hundred signatures as of this writing, it seems that checking white privilege is not people’s biggest worry these days.
Honestly, Adele is an interesting target for this kind of criticism. First of all, despite the fact that some might think this would be impossible for a white person, Adele actually had a pretty tough upbringing: Her father was an admitted drunk who walked out on the family when she was just three years old. Second — white or not — hardly anyone thinks of Adele as having the typical look of a successful female performer. Whether someone is calling her fat or asking her how she manages to handle weighing more than others in her industry, any discussion of her image concerns how different she looks and how tough it must be to look that way.
Maybe they should listen to some Adele and calm down.

The liberals think the world is set up for whites, and so we are to apologize for being born white. Kiss my rosy red people. She has talent and worked hard and if one of them could they would. Be proud, just like soon we can be proud of our America.
let em earn their own money
Enough is enough ,get off it. She earned every penny ,!!
Get real
Im just gonna leave this right here with y’all. If Obama had a 20 something year old daughter, she would look a lot like this. Bless her little heart, I hope she made it.
