John Boyega makes impassioned speech at George Floyd protest in Hyde Park


Star Wars actor John Boyega gave an emotional speech at the Hyde Park Black Lives Matter demonstration after the death of George Floyd in the US.

He told the crowds: “Every black person in here remembered when another person reminded you that you were black.”

  1. The first time I see and feel Hate was when I was 18 years old. I never ever had hate and didn't think anything about Race till one day I had around 8 or 10 Bla people slagging me off calling me names then I was surrounded, one put something sharp to my throat and one with a screwdriver to my chest my body then they all started to hit push and take all stuff leaving me cut and beaten coz I'm White

  2. Why is this British government bending over backwards for a group called BLmovement
    Wen they have done fuck all to this once great country, except cause riots & looting
    Please tell me as I haven’t got a clue 😂

  3. What are the Govt doing about the disproportionate cases of Covid19, within minoritie groups, part of the advice, to social distance.
    “Black lives matter” of course they do, so do white,NHS staff & all others, but what happens, because of a really bad incident in USA, a protest march is organised in the U.K., flaunting all social distancing guidelines, thus putting the lives of minority, white, NHS staff & all other lives, at risk.

  4. I really wanted his Star Wars character to become the new emperor. Not for race reasons, but to have someone up top who is normal and human and not a space wizard laser ninja.

  5. what totally baffles me is the "n" word. It supposed to be offensive, but I hear black people call out to each other hey "N" and is OK. It's like a term of endearment. Is the "n" word only offensive if white people use it?

  6. i don't blame him for being angry especially since Disney decided to say "we stand against racism" yet they shrank john boyagas character finn off the star wars posters so hes not as visible for the Chinese market because hes black…..

  7. This guy… His fam's from Nigeria, man, his ancestors probably took park in the selling of African-American ancestors and he's out here chatting like he's ghetto. Pfft. Outta my face.

  8. You tried to hang Dominic Cummings out to dry for breaking lockdown rules…. surely you should be equally outraged at this event breaking all social distancing rules right? Oh wait no it doesn't support your political agenda this time does it… Pathetic.

  9. why isit only about blacks? what about brown people from asia includes middle east. millions got killied and there blacks out there joined with the whites. now the blacks playing the race card after 1 guy got killied and yes many got mistreated by cops. Some indivduals chatting so much crap and non sense. attention seekers take it to the next level when they get the chance once they get in the spot light in media.

    Brown people are always on tv local and abroad getting killied millions before and even still the killings continue and when brown people went for protest where was the blacks????

  11. I know, lets sit and stand here in a huge crowd bundled together, spreading corona, and then a week later we will forget all about these protests and stop doing them.
    Achievement 1: Nothing
    Achievement 2: Spreading corona getting people killed putting a strain on the NHS

  12. “Bun you” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Great public speaker he is – Sounds like a 12 year old boy with his voice breaking….

    Stick to Star Wars Johnny Boy 😎

  13. 2 metres rule? Why they protesting in the UK? I've seen then accuse British police over what happened in America. If there is a second wave don't blame Boris if all these get covid 19

  14. This is the UK, not the USA. This idiot has been wound up by left wing organisations who wish to use non whites to further their weird agenda. Surely black people are not that gullible… 🤦‍♂️

  15. That's truth! No lies! WTF YouTube community!! Ya all looking for likes!! Going on like he's looking for work? You mad?
    The man is bigger than any hate comment in this feed! All said 🙏🏼
