Rogen, along with major celebrities like Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift, has been vocal on Twitter and Instagram following the killing of George Floyd, who died in police custody after a former officer knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes. In the week since, as protests have swept America and parts of the globe, the actor and director has helped start a chain of donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund — prompting celebrities like Steve Carell, Don Cheadle, and Ben Schwartz to match it — and has used his platform to post about racism to his 8.5 million Twitter followers.

Billie Eilish wasn't letting it slide last weekend, though, and now neither is Rogen.
The actor's responses have since gone viral on Twitter.

It's a blunt way of responding, but it's an effective one at calling out those commenters.
