R&B singer Tyrese was trending on social media this weekend, after the R&B singer re-posted photos that originated on a racist White South African website.
South Africa, and its government, has been bombarded with propaganda – circulated by White racists – who claim that the country now forces Whites into a second class citizen role. Those claims are laughably false, given that Whites still control most of the country’s wealth.
But on Friday, Tyrese re-posted those racist claims on Instagram – saying that the African country is suffering from “reverse-racism”.
It all started after Tyrese directed his 12 million Instagram followers to a video on Youtube called ‘Poor Whites / Rich Blacks’ along with a series of pictures showing subservient white people captioned, “This is what’s going on in South Africa.”
Here’s his post.
Tyrese quickly went viral. And millions of South Africans immediately began to “cancel” him. After being called out for spreading fake news, #Tyresemustfall began trending on South African Twitter and Tyrese eventually deleted the post.
Tyrese quickly apologized for his disturbing post. But South Africans aren’t accepting it. As of this morning, he was still trending on Twitter:
