He added that "WHITE on BLACK racism" had "ruined the world", which sparked responses about other forms of racism.

He later doubled down against "racist white people" in an Instagram live.

His initial anger was sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, who was shown in a video groaning "I can't breathe" as a white policeman knelt on his neck.

Boyega tweeted his hatred of racists before replying to a Nigerian man who said he broke up with his girlfriend because she was racist against white people.

The actor replied: "I am talking about WHITE on BLACK racism.

The kind that has ruined the world not caused a lil break up with your girlfriend.".

Replying to someone else who wrote that "racism can come from anyone", he replied: "I don't care!

In the impassioned Instagram live, he then explained: "There's no way that I have the opinion that there's no other forms of racism.
