Sam Smith Just Discovered Racism In 2016

Just experienced my friend getting verbally abused racially in London. I am absolutely SPEECHLESS.

I never ever ever ever thought that would happen here. Absolutely speechless and hurt.

I feel like I have to shine some sort of light on it. The police were so unhelpful in the situation and its deeply shocked me.

All these media outlets have turned Sam Smith's "Here comes Sailor Moon to save the day" tweets into him being a victim. Who's his friend?

Sam Smith is a product of the British education system that erased the atrocities perpetrated by the empire on POC.

Also, I can't believe Sam Smith is like 30 and never knew racism existed in London. How can you be that naive and sheltered?

Someone should tell Sam Smith about colonialism, that will blow his mind.

I'm curious to see what Sam Smith will do for the benefit of black people now that he's seen blatant racism with his own eyes.

Don't cry about racism ONLY after you see someone you care about experience it for themselves. @samsmithworld
