White policemen in America killed black George Floyd by kneeling on his neck until he ran out of air and died. While he struggled for air, he cried out for mercy, telling the policemen that he could not breathe but he was ignored.
Following his death, a viral video went around of Floyd’s last moments that inspired a wave of anger in celebrities and the general public. Since then, there have been protests around the world calling for justice to be served in this case.
In response to this event, Star Wars actor, John Boyega tweeted, “I really f*cking hate racists.”
The tweet did not sit well with some people who took to the replies to air their grievances about his message. Some compared his message to other situations, some asked him to include everyone in his messages, while others attacked him for his views.
