Sam Smith Forced To Defend His Tweets About Racism

Just experienced my friend getting verbally abused racially in London. I am absolutely SPEECHLESS.

I never ever ever ever thought that would happen here. Absolutely speechless and hurt.

I feel like I have to shine some sort of light on it. The police were so unhelpful in the situation and its deeply shocked me.

Why is Sam Smith so shocked that racism exists? He needs to come out of that bubble of white privilege more often
