By Chris Graham on July 20, 2015 Media & Culture

If you haven’t met JaackMaate, you’re missing out. And no, he’s not Australian (he’s British), but everything he says resonates just as powerfully here.

Jaack Maate describes himself as an ‘online personality’, and has his own Youtube channel. But it’s his Facebook page which is going off.

His video rant about racists recorded yesterday scored a staggering 3.5 million views in the space of 24 hours, and more than 70,000 shares.

Jaack Maate is not necessarily saying anything new… but the way he says it is priceless. Enjoy.
