THE music channel MTV has provoked a storm of criticism after posting a "racist" viral video aimed exclusively at white men.

Last night, Twitter lit up with rage after MTV shared a short film called "White Guy Resolution 2017" along with the words: "Hey, white guys: we came up for some New Year's Resolutions for you."

The video told chaps there are a "few things we think you could do a little bit better in 2017".

It is narrated by a variety of earnest-looking men and women.

The stars of the video urged Caucasian blokes to bow down to their political ideology and avoid criticising the campaign group Black Lives Matter.

"First of all, try to recognise America was never great for anyone who wasn't a white guy," one woman said.

One of the stars of video appeared to suggest that most white people are racist.

He said: "Just because you have black friends, doesn't mean you're not racist."

Another woman urged: "Learn what mansplaining is and then stop doing it."

The word mansplaining was invented by feminists as a way to silence men.

It is used to describe blokes who bleat on at woman and appear to disregard their views or opinions.

Peter Lloyd, a journalist and author of the book Stand By Your Manhood, slammed MTV.

He told The Sun Online: "It's no wonder the male suicide rate is so high when men are regularly force-fed this crap by commercial media.

"Ironically, the sexist, racist idiots at MTV have no idea they're causing the left to recede further into oblivion - along with their channel's relevance and viewing figures, which have also been on the downslide.

"In addition, if MTV hate white men so much, they should have consistent principles and refuse all business, advertising and investment from them. But I bet my life savings they won't."

The music channel's video provoked a firestorm on Twitter.

"That's all the left sells - hatred. No other message. No vision. No life. A cult of death."
