“I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race. Let’s just leave it like that. It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realise, ‘I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.’ Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration.”

if you’re canadian, consider signing this petition to have the House of Commons “ban the use of tear gas in all its forms in Canada, destroy the stocks of tear gas currently owned by the police and armed forces in Canada, investigate the use of tear gas by the police in Montreal on May 31, and encourage the police to prioritize de-escalation tactics over dispersal and arrest tactics in crowd control actions”.

“I’m speaking to you from my heart. Look, I don’t know if I’m going to have a career after this, but fuck that. Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones. Every black person in here remembered when another person reminded you that you were black. So none of you out there, all those protesters on the other side, protesting against what we want to do, protesting against what we want to try and achieve, burn you, this is so vital. I need you to understand how painful this shit is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isn’t the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.” John Boyega at The Black Lives Matter protest in Hyde Park June 3rd 2020

John Boyega is a HERO

John Boyega is one of the bravest people out there. He put everything on the line to speak out against racism. He used his platform to explicitly say where he stands, which is more than a lot of other people do. He said with his whole chest that racists can go fuck themselves and that he doesn’t want their support.

He stood against racism when he was cast as the male lead and co-protagonist in the sequel trilogy.

He stood with his co-star Daisy Ridley through all of harrasment she went through and supported her emotionally through the years as her friend. 

He stood against the hate Kelly Marie Tran and said she had deserved better while being her friend though it all.

He stood with Oscar in wanting more representation in Star Wars and always spoke his mind on it.

He started a production company, UpperRoom Productions, to give people who wouldn’t normally be given a shot at making it, a fighting chance. 

He stood against racism again when the blue check marks came after him for critizing TLJ on how his character Finn and Kelly’s Rose deserved better.

He stood against it again when he called out the toxicty surrounding Lucasfilm and the toxic people in the community who were coming after him for it.

And as of recently, he signed a deal with Netflix to promote films that will focus on West and East Africa.

Now he did it again by speaking out against the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police Department. 

John Boyega has always been speaking the truth and he’s put everything on the line time and time again. 

John Boyega is a damn hero and everyone should know that.

I haven’t drawn anything in awhile and really need to practice so here’s my attempt at turning Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs into Rey from Star Wars.

And with that, I present everybody with a challenge! Draw Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs as Rey for May the 4th (Star Wars day!) and tag The Aila Test so we’ll feature it! Use the hashtag #DeveREYJacobs !
