      This tbh. Fuck Andrew Tate, but I’m not on board with being racist at him. Black people see that your acceptance of their race is conditional on you liking them.

        Exactly, criticise literally anything else about him, or preferably basically everything. Except his skin colour or anything else he was born with.

        If I’d stayed in the UK I could easily have been a victim of this same shit, despite being born there and 50% British.

        The people being racist to him are the same terrorists currently rioting across the UK because of things he himself said, stoked by Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson, as well as the right wing media. Tate helped create a tinderbox of anti-immigration hatred that has sparked multiple days of riots, terrorising families, businesses, and the police, and when a tiny amount of the hatred he stoked gets redirected back at him, suddenly he whines.

        Yes, racism bad, but this call is coming from inside the house that he helped to build.

      Imagine being this poor bastard and having your face be instant shorthand for “the worst person you know”. The internet is cruel.

        I thought he was the guy absolutely devastated that the worst person they knew made a good point!
