Omari Hardwick just joined the growing list of celebrities who enjoy a well-deserved clap back.

On Instagram, under a photo at the American Black Film Festival with Aldis Hodge, Larenz Tate and Common, a follower posted a crazy question.

“You bleaching your skin too?,” the commenter said. 

Omari responded with, “Ni**a have you lost your mind lol??”

Adding fuel to the fire, his Power co-star, Joseph Sikora chimed in with, “Don’t let bottom feeders (sucker fish) get you.”

In addition to social media, Omari has also been outspoken about the political climate of this country. Last July in an interview with The Huffington Post, he spoke about Rudy Giuliani saying Black Lives Matter was racist.

“For Giuliani’s ignorance to be of such at the age that he is and having lived the life that he’s led, for him not to understand that what you’re dealing with is that no other person or persons within our country, within the diaspora of our American culture are being targeted at such a rapid gross rate. Then there’s no need to say ‘Black Lives Matter too,’ cause no other lives have not mattered.”
