For This New Decade, Consider John Boyega Energy
Hey friend, at some point maybe very recently, have you been told “how to conduct yourself” in response to negativity? This phenomenon, has probably come to you when you’ve been wronged at — work, school, a party, and or anywhere. You had no ill will at hand and wanted nothing more than to rightfully defend yourself.
If you’re not white, you’ve most likely been told to “behave” by those whom definitely are. What’s further frustrating is that the majority proceeds to dictate that “proper conduct” is to be respectful and show grace— For us and not for themselves. Because any angry minority is a symbol of them not being right. Well news flash, you have no right to speak on how marginalized people should respond to negativity aimed at them. Our lives and realities are different.
So, on the blessed (bless-id) day of January 10, 2020, actor John Boyega gave us life and new energy. In response to the negative comments and replies he received he said nah (a big nah) to all that. Via a short well edited and hilarious 35 second video; he proceeds to knock down, step over, and shoo away comments he received on social media. This was all imposed to moments while he was having a good time. This video has been viewed by many.
