Zachary Levi Comes Under Fire For ‘Whiteness’ Tweets, Apologizes and Promises to Listen to Minorities
ET Canada ^ | 2018 | ET Online

Twitter isn’t happy with Zachary Levi and his “straight white male privilege.”

The criticism all started after the actor was accused of believing in the sexist practice of the friend zone.

A fan of the “Shazam” actor took to Twitter to post about his thoughts on Levi’s recent livestream, “I’ve been thinking a lot about something Zach said in one of his Instagram lives lately,” user Stories With Web wrote. “Imagine a person saying something and then a group of people crowding them telling them why they are wrong or out of line. That terrifies me to think of, so why would people think online is any different?”

I don’t fit in anymore. Especially with the 20 and 30 somethings.

I confuse them.

Why do I have two guns on me they ask if they ever figure out I am armed. And why two knives?

What are those things? Hundred dollar bills? “You just pulled out dozens of those”. Why not use a debit card?

What’s a Rolex Daytona? Why don’t you get an Apple watch?

“You can’t say stuff like that! You say you don’t give a $hit what we think? You can’t say that!”

“why do you have all those cars and houses?”

I don’t want to fit in...….

I left some out but here is two more:

“You can’t say abortion is murder”.

“Jesus? We need Jesus?”

I assert there is not such a thing as “white”.

Since Martin Luther King, I thought the country was beyond injecting race into every dialogue. Wrong. Now everything is racially tinged and infected with the race card. It seems it will never be otherwise with the current crop of politically correct fools.

I wasn't sure who this guy was. At first I thought he was Spock, but that's another Zachary.

Apparently, he is one of the few actors who changed his name to make it sound more Jewish. In fact, he isn't. His last name is Pugh, but he thought it sounded too much like the bad smell sound, so he went with his first and middle names instead.

Hollywood has changed the boy.

Here he is in a 2002 interview:

My job on my set, I believe, is to first just love people and gain that trust with people where they know that I really do love them and care about their well-being, so that when they are running into problems, they will hopefully, at some point, come to me and ask me, 'What is your peace all about? What is your comfort all about? Where do you get your love? Where do you get your talents?' And I can turn to them and say without blinking, 'Jesus Christ.'

What the bell are they talking about? Mary sounds like a bitter manhater and ashamed of being white (if she is). Zach, don’t give in to idiots.

Ne Zot, young people are loons these days. I blame social media.
