Waleed Aly applauds Africans Standing Up Against White Privilege

icyfroth — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 04:10:40 GMT

The Project host was trending on Twitter on Monday after XYZ published an article about him titled: 'Waleed Aly applauds African gang who assaulted young girl at train station for 'courageously standing up to white privilege''.

The basis of the story was entirely made up, as proven by a tag above the headline which identified it as satire.

Goes to show the power of fake news...

And you've bought into the ignorance by using it as a thread title, when another title would have been more prudent.

It's not fake news, that's Trump talk. It was a satirical article. And the petition attracted 163 signatures - how powerful.

Well icyfroth, I quite like Walid Ally and his wife Susan. Refreshing to know that the story was made up and I wouldn't have thought Mr. & Mrs. Ally would be inciting anything like that. Anyway, as you know, you and I agree on many issues and a few others we see from a different perspective. And some people you think are OK-ish I do not like one bit. That's all cool.

And I support your right to title any thread you like.

If you like them so much, it would be great if you knew how to spell their names correctly.

Gosh, spelling police now!

I forgot that his name is spelt the other way as Waleed. I have a cobber called Walid. His name I believe is spelt as Walid.

I stand corrected. Happy now!

Guess The Guitar Riff with Waleed Aly

Agree, 4chan. I think the proper spelling would be Walid in the part of the world where our Mr Waleed Aly hails from.

He's probably just turned it that way so us dumb aussies can pronounce it properly.

I'm puzzled:

The title reads Waleed Aly applauds Africans Standing Up Against White Privilege.

Your very first post makes it quite clear that he didn't.

Why would you feel the need to use something you knew to be a blatant lie as a thread title?
