John Boyega Responds To Backlash: “F*ck You Racist White People”
Star Wars Actor John Boyega Double Down His Anti Racists Post
While people continue to protest over the inhumane killing of African American George Floyd in Minneapolis and Los Angeles, actor John Boyega is using his platform to call out racism.
Although four police officers have been fired following their involvement with the death of George Floyd, people are crying for justice to be served.
John Boyega took to Instagram Live on Wednesday to talk about just how much he hates racists, and while it’s an understandable sentiment, Boyega received backlash from a few of his fans.
This just burns. Seems to be a never ending cycle. The murderers need to be charged severely. Even in the face of death this man was given zero empathy. #RIPGeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd pic.twitter.com/gyuaoC6vUh

“This just burns. Seems to be a never ending cycle,” the Star Wars actor also tweeted. The murderers need to be charged severely. Even in the face of death this man was given zero empathy.”
I really fucking hate racists.

After receiving criticism for using the term “hate”, he doubled down on his words. “I’m not even apologizing first of all, you better f*cking believe that. But there’s no way that I have the opinion that there’s no other forms of racism,” he said.
“Of course, there’s other forms of racism, but a Black man was just murdered in cold blood in the streets — again, while saying that he can’t breathe.
“So, I say it again,” he continues. “F*ck you racist white people. I said what I said — and if you’re a fan of me and you support my work and you’re racist and you’re arguing what I was saying, f*ck off, you f*cking d*ck heads.
“Pls. I am Yoruba. All your chit chatter on this here app won’t cut into this soul. Thunder fire you,” he wrote in another tweet.
Some folks only like black people who step and fetch, shuck and jive, dance, sing, perform or play a sport (see Diamond and Silk).
But the moment we speak out against white supremacy, as John Boyega does, they tell us to shut up and entertain them.pic.twitter.com/6qfpD02F1o

@JohnBoyega I fucking respect you. Need more people not afraid to speak freely without the fear of backlash from this new “easily offended” generation. Well said!

If you AREN’T a white person who is racist.. it should NEVER offend you when someone calls out racist white people. PERIOD. Point blank. End of story.
If it offends you, then maybe you need to dig down deep in the ugly part of your heart, find your racism & kill it. #johnboyega
