Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Sorry, buddy – no one wants to smell like a black guy.

British actor John Boyega is quitting as global ambassador for the UK perfume and scented candles giant Jo Malone after the company replaced him with a local actor in a commercial made for the Chinese market.
Boyega said that the original ad, which he created and directed, celebrated his “personal story,” featuring his hometown, friends and family members.
The company also shot an ad tailored for the Chinese market, keeping most themes and elements from the original concept, but replacing Boyega with popular actor Liu Haoran. Boyega said that it was “wrong” to do so without his consent.
“While many brands understandably use a variety of global and local ambassadors, dismissively trading out one’s culture this way is not something I can condone,” the actor wrote on Twitter.
The company had earlier apologized to both Boyega and Haoran, saying that “the concept for the film was based on John’s personal experiences and should not have been replicated.”
Commenters online largely supported Boyega’s decision to step down as ambassador for Jo Malone.
“They wanted to appear as trailblazers but weren’t brave enough to take the fight where it was needed, let alone the fact they stole your artistic direction & thought they could repurpose without permission,” a ‘heritage consultancy’ firm, Past Future, wrote.
Some were quick to allege that racism was in play and brought up the Chinese promotional poster for the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, where Boyega’s character was featured far less prominently than in the US version.
Black people are so self-absorbed, entitled and whiny.
Can you imagine if you were replaced in a Chinese ad?
Wouldn’t you just say, “oh well, I guess they want to look at their own people”?
But not this ape.
He goes on a tantrum like a whiny little baby.
However, this guy does have a history of being edited out by the Chinese, so I guess maybe he’s starting to think it’s personal.
Perfume-maker Jo Malone took an ad filmed by John Boyega of Star Wars and refilmed it for China using a Chinese actor and zero black people. Sadly, Boyega must be used to this; remember what happened to him in Star Wars posters in China:https://t.co/YYRivQIAyS pic.twitter.com/AuNNmklIWr
