Actor John Boyega in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"

Director J.J. Abrams' political activism has prompted online fans to boycott "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" for being anti-white.

The hashtag #BoycottStarWarsVII exploded on Twitter Monday, just hours before the release of a new trailer during ESPN's Monday Night Football game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. The reason: Abrams' movie is allegedly a dream come true for race activists.

"#BoycottStarWarsVII because it is anti-white propaganda promoting #whitegenocide," an account called End Cultural Marxism said. "A friend in L.A. said #StarWarsVII is basically '[Black Lives Matter activist Deray Mckesson] in Space.' Jewish activist JJ Abrams is an anti-white nut."

The Hollywood Reporter found a tweet by a user identified as Captain Confederacy saying, "[Social Justice Warriors] complain about White artists 'misappropriating' culture created by blacks but then celebrate a non-White Star Wars."

"It's nothing more than a social justice propaganda piece that alienates it's core audience of young white males," another user tweeted, the website reported.

The new "Star Wars" movie features a diverse cast, including star John Boyega. When fans questioned how the British actor, who is black, could be a stormtrooper in November 2014, the actor responded, "Get used to it," Nov. 29, 2014, on Instagram.

"This is going to melt your brain, but you need to know ... James Earl Jones voiced Vader and Lando is black," popular YouTube film critic Jeremy Jahns responded Monday to the #BoycottStarWarsVII hashtag.

Fears that Abrams would infuse his own brand of political activism into projects are not unfounded. His last movie, "Star Trek: Into Darkness," was described by one of the film's star actors, Benedict Cumberbatch, as commentary on the presidency of George W. Bush.

"The whole theme of the film, a backbone without it being in your face and preachy, there's a massive sort of comment about post-Bush/Cheney era foreign policy and the legacy from that," Cumberbatch said at the movie's premier, the New York Post reported May 22, 2013.

Director Abrams also just helped raise $750,000 for the Democratic Party at a fundraiser at his Pacific Palisades, California, home.

The Oct. 10 event, which President Obama attended, cost attendees $33,400 per ticket, Deadline Hollywood reported.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" opens in U.S. theaters Dec. 18, 2015.

I'd argue that there has always been a sort of interracial aspect to Star Wars, but yeah, having the black guy up front and paired with a white lead character is pretty annoying. It would be helpful to point to the string pulling wizard behind the curtain though.

Jews have been pushing that meme for decades! That's why you see so many 'black male white female' couples.
