George Floyd protest: John Boyega gives emotional speech at Black Lives Matter rally

Both deaths sparked protests across the US at the time.

In 2016 Boyega set up his own production company, Upperroom Entertainment Limited, aimed at making films that celebrate African culture, with a focus on West and East Africa. However, Boyega urged UK protesters to remain peaceful, saying:"It is very, very important that we keep control of this moment. That we make this as peaceful and as organised as possible.He also spoke directly to fellow black men, who he said had a special part to play in supporting their families:"This message is specifically for black men, black men we need to take care of our black women.

"Imagine this: a nation that is set up with individual families that are thriving, that are healthy, that communicate, that raise their children in love, have a better rate of becoming better human beings, and that's what we need to create.Image:"You lot came today, you left your kids, and when you see your kids they're aimlessly playing, they don't understand what's going on.

Remember!!!! He’s a very talented actor

Lets be honest, he was shit in Star Wars 🤷🏼‍♂️

Covid be like

John boyega is a cowardly race baiter who uses sensationalist rhteotic to divide people and incite violence and then scurries off and pretends like he never said anything controveesial. He is culpable for all the innocent business owners who have had their livlihoods destroyed.

He is an impassioned racist!

Who kills most black people? Asking for a friend...

JohnBoyega jamiefoxxUS should stick to reading lines from the scripts they have to learn; if he want to use his voice to make a change to black lives they should do so about black on black crimes, more black men die at hands of other black men than a few racist cops you plums

Thank god these clowns won’t be up in Scotland

George was an absolute scumbag for terrorising this black pregnant black women in her home. If she had a gun licence, he could have been shot. No one would be any the wiser. Where were the racist Black Lives Matter then. Orcdo Black Lives Matter only when white kill black🤔

This women tells it as it should be. She is brilliant..🙌

I really dont know who the fuck John Boyega is - but I wish him Bon Voyage.🤭🤔

BorisJohnson needs to introduce a curfew NOW 🤬🤯

More virtue signalling

Is SKY news still reporting on this as a peaceful protest by those lovely people from BLM? You’re a disgrace to journalism the world over. skynews

I don't agree with his militant clenched fist, sorry

I must have missed the celebrity speeches over this little girl, but then black lives matter, white doesn't!

Seems nobody really knew what he was saying, judging by the violence in London tonight. All sympathy has now eroded because khan and dick underplayed this demo.

Hope he has an equally good one when they are in hospital wards with covid

So proud of John who knows that unless there is Unity within the black community there will be no change.

Best acting of his career so far.
