Lol you're joking right? There are plenty of people that think that hating a racist for being racist is as bad as actually being one. It's stupid but not everything is tied to Russia.

"As a Nigerian male who is totally from Nigeria and had a Nigerian wife also from Nigeria, racism isn't real and if it is it's equally as bad for white people who I, a Nigerian male, feel bad for"

 

[ConHaki66]

There are definitely troll accounts with black people in their profile pics

 

[Amnixia]

Hating on racists? Woah! Hating someone just because of their political opinions! Just goes to show how tolerant the left is!

(Obvious /s)

May as well be the same as "both sides", or anyone that says we need to come together with republicans and Trumpists.

"Hate racism not the racist"


Dude...

So much for tolerance. How can you call yourself a tolerant person if you hate racists?
Checkmate, atheists.

Some people truly believe you should never hate anyone. Those people are fucking stupid.

"Hate the words they speak, not the person who speaks it"

Might as well hate the White Hood, not the person who wears it.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

"I hate racism."

WHOA WHOA SLOW DOWN BUDDY LET'S TALK THIS OVER.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I've never seen anything he's been in, but Boyega has recently become one of my favorite celebrities. I love that he gives no fucks about "civility".

 

[psynergyadept]

"Hate racism not the racist"

nah fam, I can do both.

I hate those people. Even Jesus didn't put up with certain people.

Blessed are the cunts, for they will inherit the earth.

 

[LProtagonist]

The ONLY possible way I can see "hate racism not the racist" be a viable statement is if you are talking about children who are having those thoughts ingrained in them by their parents. Even then... there's a time when you need to learn to think for yourself and reevaluate your beliefs.

It's pretty clear that's not what these people are talking about though, nor does it invalidate Boyega's stance.

 

[Maximum Spider]

can't he just meet in the middle? wouldn't that be great!?

 

[Deleted member 30544]

WTF with those comments, fucking tone deaf people.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Knew this was going to be some racism defense force fuckery

Meanwhile John's like 'Yeah and I'm Yoruba'. Honestly it's a pretty nice touch

 

[Eeyore]

There's some considerable naivete in those replies and one has to think that a fair, if not all, amount of them are doing it on purpose.

 

[Carl2291]

I saw his tweet earlier and expected the usual "celebrities shouldn't get political" stuff, but not people telling him hating racists is a bad thing.

 

[Arkanim94]

john Boyega doesn't give a damn and I'm all for it.

I don't understand how this isn't common knowledge at this point

 

[cakely]

Imagine that being a controversial opinion.

Imagine self-identifying as a racist and then complaining when someone expresses that controversial opinion.

I also hate nazis, man-eating zombies and aliens bent on world domination.

 

[Deleted member 60295]

I really fucking love this man.
