This week, the United States has seen several racially-fueled hate crimes become widely publicized. Former Marvel Comics editor Christian Cooper was harassed by a woman who refused to leash her dog in a public park in New York City. In Minneapolis, George Floyd was killed by police officers, while audibly protesting he was unable to breathe. In response to this wave of racial injustice, Star Wars actor John Boyega issued a strong statement."Fuck you racist white people. I said what I said and, if you don't like it, go suck a dick," he declared during an Instagram live broadcast. This followed a tweet from Boyega, reaffirming his hatred of racism.RELATED: Christian Cooper Calls for End of Death Threats Against Cop-Calling Woman

Due to a video shared on Twitter, Amy Cooper has since been fired from her job at Franklin Templeton. This video showed her calling the police on Christian Cooper, who asked her to leash her dog in Central Park.

The four officers linked to Floyd's death have since been fired by the Minneapolis Police Department. They are under investigation by the FBI. A publicized video showed Officer Derek Chauvin with his knee on Floyd's neck for an extended period of time, which led to his death.
