Dear 222 News viewers, sponsored by smileband,
Who is Andrew Tate.
Andrew Tate is a British-American social media personality, former kickboxer, and entrepreneur. He has gained fame for promoting an ultra-masculine lifestyle, wealth, and strong opinions. He is also the son of Emory Tate, an African-American chess master. Thus, Tate is biracial.
Some of Tate’s Public Statements
Over the years, Tate has made several comments that involve Black people, race, and movements like Black Lives Matter (BLM). Some of these have been widely criticized. Here are a few:
1. On Black Lives Matter (BLM)
• In June 2023, Tate posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“Black lives matter, black lives matter my whole life I hear this s**t that black lives matter if this is true why do you let him beat the fuck out of you? PUNCH HIM!”
• He dismissed the slogan “Black Lives Matter” as “s**t,” which drew widespread backlash.
2. On Meghan Markle & Skin Color Discussions
• Tate has made controversial remarks about Meghan Markle’s race, claiming she is not “really black” in the sense that “everyone knows she’s lighter than me” and saying her presenting as black is “an objective lie.” He asserted people are “scared to say it.”
3. On Racism Against Himself
• Tate has also spoken about receiving racist insults in the UK for being “brown.” He has said it’s unusual for him to get racist attacks from white people in Britain.
• He has framed some of the racial tensions (for example in UK riots) not purely in racial terms but as a class issue: rich vs poor.
4. Alleged Racist Jokes and Past Tweets
• There are reports of older tweets where he made generalizations or used stereotypes involving Black people. E.g. one quoted: “**** the running final if i wanted to see black people running id just threaten them with jobs.”
• There are also reports and accusations by critics of a history of statements and attitudes considered racist.
Context & Identity
Because Tate is biracial (his father is Black), some observers argue that his identity complicates how his statements are viewed:
• Some commentators and audiences question how someone with Black heritage can express views perceived as dismissive of Black struggles or organizations.
• Others point to the possibility of internal conflict or complex identity dynamics, though Tate himself tends to present his views in a provocative, confrontational style. (Whether as genuine belief or partly for attention is debated.)
Public Reaction & Criticism
• Many have criticized his dismissive or derisive stances on BLM, race, skin color, etc., viewing them as insensitive or racist.
• Media organisations and advocacy groups (such as Hope Not Hate) include his “long history of racist statements … and links to the organised far-right” when discussing concerns about his influence.
• People also highlight that his rhetoric may appeal to some young Black or mixed-race people, despite its controversial nature, possibly because of the boldness of his style or his promotion of individualism and “not caring what others think.”
Analysis: What Can Be Said
• Tate’s views are provocative, sometimes contradictory. He alternates between criticizing race-based activism while also complaining about racism directed at himself.
• There’s a pattern: challenging broadly accepted narratives (like Black Lives Matter), engaging in disputes about who “counts” as Black or how “Blackness” is perceived, and emphasizing self-responsibility or downplaying systemic factors.
• Whether his statements reflect deeply held beliefs or a strategy to attract controversy (and thus attention/followers) is hard to determine definitively from public record.
Conclusion
Andrew Tate’s public statements regarding Black people are contentious. He has made statements many find offensive, especially toward BLM, race identity, and discussions of racism. At the same time, his mixed racial heritage and claims of being subject to racism himself complicate a simple categorization of him.
