If Lewis Hamilton is so concerned about the lack of black drivers in F1 why doesn't he use some of the money he has stashed in a tax haven to support a couple of promising, young black drivers?

Black power is about black racism.

I would have more respect for him if he paid English tax

He is half white! So what about white lives? Don’t they matter?

TheBlackChannel

Good man!

Hamilton could start by paying UK taxes. Hypocrite.

All while driving a car manufactured by Mercedes who used forced labour during ww2.Hamilton is nothing but a self indulgent attention seeker.

Wish him all the best maybe he should start with his own F1 Team 1st

Just a shame he doesn't want to live in the UK and pay his taxes while he does it.

Hopefully he’s had some awareness training on cultural appropriation too?

Well he should start by quiting Mercedes then they used forced labour in ww2 and worked for a racist dictator yet he happily takes there money

Might help if he wasn’t so anti-white.

how does he intend to end racism for the millions that suffer from every nationality in the uk every day in the 21c

Funny how suddenly he's 'the best driver'. Schey won 7, and British media was all 'oh it's the car, not the driver'. But when a Brit wins, they're 'the best'. Take your bloody hypocrisy and publish it in a galaxy far far away.

TheBlackChannel Racism can be crushed with unity resources and violence if necessary.

look at the racist history of Mercedes benz, who pays hamilton £millions every month BlackLivesMatter

we will see!!!

this is not 1968 and he is neither Tommie Smith nor John Carlos. He is a rich pampered millionaire!

Black Power salutes. Just what has got into this man's head. Everything that Lewis Hamilton has fought for to be no 1 is anathema to the Black Power movement.

😴

Tax dodger should pay his taxes first as lectures from morally bankrupt hypocrites never go down well!

Paying tax may help . .

'There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.' - Booker Washington

Yeah, he’s the embodiment of oppression... 💦

And bring peace to the Middle East ✌

I support him!

well jolly good for Lewis

He's a phony

Fighting racism from his tax haven🙄

I shall fight racism by using symbols of violence sponsored by symbols of Nazi suppression, genocide and slavery. Not hypocritical at all.

Well he is the most racially abused sportsman. Describe as agorant, aluf, self obsessed, yet he is the first BAME driver and among the best. Does that make Schumacher all of those things yes and Vettel yes but do people make a issue of it.

The comments on this thread are interesting. Why do so many 'people' have such strong negative feelings about equality for black people?

Another celebrity making a self-indulgent, vain glorious statement. Yawn.

I am sure tightening up on various tax evasion schemes and then use that money on education programmes and combatting poverty would help.

Lol blackpower. You can always trust for the shit takes.

Oops.....bad....AllLivesMatter

Nothing fights white supremacy quite like black supremacy. Lewis Hamilton had just declared his commitment to black power, not anti-racism.

From Monaco

Does your article mention that he avoids paying UK tax?

Hamilton is truly an inspiration for young athletes.

Typical Graudian stirring up. Obviously implausible

What has took him so long?...he's had.. 13 years in F1 6 World Championships 85 GP wins 9 years up Bernie Ecclestone's arse 13 Tax dodging years

Net worth £224 million in S Times rich list - how you must have suffered under our oppressive system, mate! Boo, hoo, hoo!! Sorry, cynical me....

Tax Exile Lewis Hamilton vows to spend life fighting racism

Stunning and brave.

PR stunt.

He's a virtue signalling phony.

What is position about formula one sponsor Aramco and racing in various Arab states with appalling human rights records? Doesn't seem to have a conscience about that. Money really does make a difference.

It's a step up from a life devoted to making money so far. Good for him.

Oh dear better he finds himself some black people to support his racing and sponsorship, taking all that millions and millions from white folk you should have stayed out of this crap you lost my respect and I am sure a lot of people will hate for this, stupid!!

Mercedes number one

saying black power is just as racist as saying white power

Perhaps he should reflect on the way he treats women first 🤡

Racism is finished now.

The British countryside has also been found to be racist.

LewisHamilton are you going to pay any UK tax? Would help the communities you support.

There is a big difference, or even a paradox, between being anti-racist and supporting a violent, intolerant and segregationist Marxist terrorist group. What's next? Support ISIS and Al-Qaeda in the name of 'peace'? Double think.

What a stupid rich man.

Oh please do us all a favour. A you are doing is making the problem worse. You don't live here. You don't pay taxes here. You moved for that very reason to avoid paying taxes How dare you preach to anyone

Let's check in in 500 days and see if he's still fighting it. Place your bets now.

Acceptance of black power salute, despite it being clearly black supremacist, legitimizes white supremacists. .LewisHamilton is as odious as the schmucks with the tiki torches.

Sometimes I feel that word processors are racist because they have a white backdrop as the first choice on a computer screen. Also baths, bathroom sinks, toilets, fridges and freezers are mostly white. This cannot go on.

I which case he needs to move to Brixton. This bloke has had more privilege than most.

Let him donate all his millions to charity then. Tax exile

I doubt other drivers will take part in Hamilton's demonstrations after this. Black Power was not just about equality, it was also about violence on the Black Panther side of the movement.

He's pointing to the apocalypse

Aesthetic not helped by having Ineos on your arm, their owner doesn’t fancy paying tax either.

A great man - look at his achievements driving a car in circles. Lewis should be our PM.

So, was he ignoring racism before?

Will he demand that the cobalt mined by children in the Congo be stripped from his cars?

And yet he made a 'black power' salute.

Very different to white power salute ... Well done LewisHamilton Good cause at heart but damn execution.

The black power salute has itself a racist history. It is also a global communist salute. Black people already have full equality in the west. LH is being used by forces he doesn’t understand to further agendas even most leftists would not wish to further if they understood them.

Being the absolute fucking belter of a hero that he is, he'll probably spend it attending swanky anti-racism gigs around the globe, preaching 'white man bad', and he'll never do a fucking thing for Africa, where racism and slavery are still rife

Maybe he should pay his taxes like everyone else then. That money is used to help others.

Hamilton is an opportunist.

We can all make a difference if we continue to speak up if we hear or see examples of one race deriding another race. Any race.

He's so oppressed Im not surprised! I'm ashamed he's survived with only one private jet 4 Holmes and 18 supercar and I did nothing.

Hail Hilter 🤦🏻‍♀️

The idiot is on top of the world. If he really cared he’d speak out about black on black violence. Trevor Philips could give him some helpful pointers I’m sure.

Can’t beat a white supremacist system it ain’t built for blacks. White folks hate Blacks unconditionally forget it

How does he intend to 'fight racism'?

Maybe he could start with himself and the 'black power' salute 👀

Yeah, spend his life in a tax haven to avoid paying his contribution in tax which... helps the poorest in society. F*** off.
