Netizens react as Ntsiki Mazwai weighs in on Tyler Perry allegations

Mazwai’s observation sparked mixed reactions. Several netizens speculated about why black men appeared to be targeted by the American justice system. Others argued that it was a matter of how people of colour react when one of their own is under fire, and gave lists of white people who were exposed and convicted of being predators.

Here are some of the reactions:

@TathametM claimed:

“Akere, they're trying to bury the Epstein list. All of Hollywood and most, if not all, of the American government are on that list, and it's a ring that they're a part of. With that being said, black men are a problem, shame, especially the rich ones.”

@Cesc_Decent argued:

“White people do get exposed, but the difference is that white people don't sit around and gossip about one another's business.”

@Melanin_Mmaps highlighted:

“Since when were Bill Graham, Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein classified as black?”

@Raeyzor alleged:

“A black man can never be rich unless the devil funds them. Once the black man breaks the rules of the deal he signed with the devil, the devil exposes the black man.”

@sporomenta asked:

“Are you trying to play race victim to these horrible men?”

@McpaulGp remarked:

“You are wrong. It is not only blacks. Hola!”
