John Boyega
Nigerian-Briton, John Boyega plays Stormtrooper, Finn. He is the star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Last week I posted a story NOT JUICY Part 2: China's Profoundly Offensive Stance Towards Africans. Please read it right HERE
Recently, John was asked a simple question: "When some people criticized the Star Wars trailer and threatened to boycott the movie because it showed a black actor in a storm trooper uniform, how did that make you feel?"
His response:
"It made me feel fine. I’m grounded in who I am, and I am a confident black man. A confident, Nigerian, black, chocolate man. I’m proud of my heritage, and no man can take that away from me. I wasn’t raised to fear people with a difference of opinion. They are merely victims of a disease in their mind. To get into a serious dialogue with people who judge a person based on the melanin in their skin? They’re stupid, and I’m not going to lose sleep over people. The presale tickets have gone through the roof — their agenda has failed. Miserably."
