        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They don&#8217;t have to deal with this in a galaxy far, far away.</p><p>John Boyega, who anchored the most recent &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; films as Finn, has taken to Instagram Live for a fiery address after sparring with fans on Twitter earlier Wednesday.</p><p>&#8220;I really f&#8211;king hate racists,&#8221; Boyega, 28, wrote on Twitter early Wednesday. <a href="https://twitter.com/hutchinson/status/1265706293810982912/photo/3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">His tweet was immediately met with replies</a> that ran the gamut from unhelpful (&#8220;We can&#8217;t conquer hatred with hatred&#8221;) — to oddly personal (&#8220;Nobody loves racists. I&#8217;m from Nigeria my ex said she hates whites so I broke up with her&#8221;).</p><p>Boyega, initially, responded to a few people on Twitter, writing &#8220;I am talking about WHITE on BLACK racism,&#8221; but by mid-afternoon he had migrated to Instagram Live.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very very important at this time that we ignore ignorance, and we ignore people that come through and try to make these stations what they&#8217;re not,&#8221; Boyega said, adding, &#8220;A black man was just murdered in cold blood, in the streets, Stateside, again, while saying that he can&#8217;t breathe.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;So I&#8217;ll say it again: F&#8211;k you racist white people. I said what I said. And if you don&#8217;t f&#8211;king like it, go suck a d&#8211;k. Seriously. <span >If you&#8217;re a fan of me and you support my work and you&#8217;re racist and you&#8217;re arguing with what I was saying, f&#8211;k off. You f&#8211;king d&#8211;kheads,&#8221; Boyega wraps up.</span></p><p>Boyega has had a somewhat contentious relationship with &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; fans. In 2018, <strong>he blasted those</strong> who were harassing new &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; actor Kelly Marie Tran, while he himself was on the receiving end of an online backlash after making a crude joke about costar Daisy Ridley&#8217;s character Rey in December 2019.</p><p>Page Six has reached out to Boyega for comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
