London "Star Wars" actor John Boyega rallied crowds at a large London protest against George Floyd's death on Wednesday, telling demonstrators that"now is the time" to demand racial equality.
The star made an emotional speech into a megaphone as thousands poured through Hyde Park, marching in solidarity with protesters in the US."Black lives have always mattered," Boyega said at the rally."We have always been important. We have always meant something. We have always succeeded regardless. And now is the time. I ain't waiting. I ain't waiting.""Black lives have always mattered. We have always been important. We have always meant something.
— Haley Ott June 3, 2020 "Every black person understands and realizes the first time you are reminded that you are black," Boyega added, occasionally stopping to fight back tears during the speech."You remember. Every black person in here remembers when another person reminded you that you were black.
— Nick McAvaney June 3, 2020 The British-Nigerian actor listed the names of several black men killed by police in the United States, and also those of Stephen Lawrence -- a black British teenager murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1993 -- and Mark Duggan, whose 2011 shooting by police sparked protests and then riots across the UK."This is so vital," Boyega said."I need you guys to understand how painful this s**t is.
A world wide concern. Prejudice and Descrimination against people must be eliminated.
Fool....come and do that here in Nigeria your country...u'll regret for coming to this world.
A lot of these hateful comments are pretty nuts. If you don’t like his acting then fine but don’t downplay what he is doing. He’s fighting for his rights and what he believes in, he’s human like us all. If you don’t agree then move on, don’t spread your hate and judgement.
May the force be with you Fin!

They are protesting over something that has happened in another country during the pandemic? Racism is awful, sure. But I thought UK was severely hit by COVID. Borders just opened in some EU countries.
Exactly, equality! No more all black colleges, no more BET TV, no more automatic consideration for a job because of your skin color.... I'm all for equality. White death by cops outnumber black deaths by cops. Stop bitching, stop protesting and go back to work. Not sorry
The pain in every tear on his face is so heartbreaking. So sad.
The guy must have suffered the white supremacism to unbearable extent!
London? Leftists are idiots. Mind your own country’s business.
I'm paraphrasing here but, 'Now is the time to scream and throw a fit like we've never screamed before'
Yes, 'now is the time' to demand racial equality, whether you are black,Asian or other races
So he wants more unarmed blacks to die at the hands of cops so that it matches the number of whites?
On the
PICASSO is so so!The real hero👌: 'My name is Bordeaux and Nantes and Liverpool and New York and San Francisco not a corner of this world but carries my thumbprint and my heel-mark on the backs of skyscrapers and my dirt'- aime cesaire, return to my native land..&WHERE BE THAT?
All Black Must Be Equal!
Let's keep going sons
AdamMaina_ Sad that we still have to fight for racial equality BlackLivesMatter
RIP and God bless you and your families
I wish he had done the rallying too when many black kids were knifing themselves on the streets of London. BlackLivesMatter must truly matter
Just imagine the protests if the victim was white!
✊🏻🙏✊🏿😢✌️
Percentage of black population, gives you an estimation of crime.
What a loser
Oh great CNN, maybe you can fan the flames and burn London too. Tool.
All Lives will Matter when Black Lives Matter... Get that tee
That's my boy...ega 🤙
Whites are disproportionately murdered by black men. stoptheviolence
If you don’t follow him you should.
