President Obama has a lot of high profile fans, but it appears television mogul Byron Allen isn’t one of them.

According to TMZ, on Saturday night, Allen essentially called the president an Uncle Tom, accusing him of not acting “like a black man.” Allen is outraged that Obama went on national television and referred to protestors as “thugs” during the Baltimore uprising prompted by the death of Freddie Gray.

Allen also advised Obama to “remember who you are,” telling him, “It’s OK to be President and a black man.”

Check out the video of Allen candidly speaking his mind below.
