Jesse Williams did an interview in which he said that growing up biracial, white adults would treat him differently. Some told him directly that he wasn't like "them" he was "different", when they would trash black people. And he knew from a child that it wasn't right. Now instead of taking away his blackness, let's embrace this man. Jesse has said that he's able to move around places that blacks can't, and whites can't. He use both to his advantage. At least, he's helping his people and the world. Look at the countless "Black" celebs that aren't political.
The realest black celeb out today. He's the spirit of Malcom , Nina Simone, and Martin. Hopefully, other black celebs will embrace his mindset and speak the truth. Black people put $1.3 trillion dollars into the economy, we shouldn't be afraid to speak up, especially when we control the economy. Jesse is my hero.
+Porsche Weaver We are out a fraud because we haven't established our code of conduct which require unification first. Many of us are so divided on issues because we're scattered and chasing inclusion. It's not a big issue until it's time to unify on the same topics to effect change.
+Porsche Weaver dont forget about Kendrick Lamar he made a whole album about what Jesse said but that was a nice blow Jesse gave. He sacrificed a lot and blacks need to stop this colorism shit he's black here im america and the world period.
Rob Ms I've dated a white guy before and we had way more in common than I thought we would. He's definitely in the top 3 relationships I've had in my life and we still keep in touch from time to time even though we live in different states now.
People who criticize Jesse due to his looks, don't get it. Most people aren't fools and women aren't foolish. ANY man who stands up like Jesse did is electrifying. Being brave, intelligent, and woke, is SEXY as hell!
stfu do you know how many men have been speaking on this and for how long. it had to be turned into vanity for yall to listen huh? There ain't shit sexy about what's going on. Leave it to women though, our oppression is sexy now smfh.
Jesse Williams should stick to acting...let others tell him what to say, what to do, where to stand, and what side to do it from, other than acting with a director pointing out what he needs to do... he seems to be a trainwreck when he opens his big mouth... Keep it SHUT, unless you're on the set. No one cares about your political race-baiting comments.
It's sad more blaxk people follow Kim and Kanye and didn't know Jesse until tonight at the bet awards all Kanye is concerned with is sex Momey and Taylor swift but you people call him a genius NO!!! Jesse Williams is a genius !!!! He's the one that should be in our textbooks not you Kanye !! Jessie for president 2020!!!!! Got my vote
+Youniverse 47 he is very talented but he could get to the " genius level " if he could incorporate my community the black community more a man with his power and voice can do more it's going to take a lot of voices too many powerful people are quiet. Jay z is quiet. Michael Jordan has been quiet. Kanye is semi quiet he has made a few songs but we'd like to see more !!! And the caller spoke about the Latin American community and their role. It would be be nice if their weren't so many racist Latinas and Latinos. Racist Asians. They need to understand they shouldn't follow white ideology white supremacy. How could they join cicely Rhodes and his gang who murdered thousands of Africans. Tied pregnant black women to trees and cut their stomachs down the middle fed them their placentas before lighting them on fire. How do you join that. No one deserves that !!! No one !!!
kanye contradict himself. He talking about how he wants to do all of this . For the kids and youth.He want people out of debt and stuff. But then charge people over 1,000$ for his shoes and clothes.
They are both genius, you don't have to choose. Think outside the box. No one asked Picasso to solve social issues. Yes am saying Kanye is on that level, people don't normally recognize greatness until it's over. Just like Ali
I love when Jesse speaks on going back to basics. This is about black folks wanting and now demanding EQUALITY period. We don't need special treatment we will not stand for mistreatment. There's is a huge difference.
Since he's "ONLY" half black he can't be an advocate for racial equality and justice? PETTY. Since when did you have to belong to a specific group to care about their social issues? You have to be gay to support gay rights? You have to own animals to care about animal rights? You have to be a woman to support women's rights? You have to be Hispanic to support Hispanic/Latino rights?? Tf?
He has the ability to show that blacks don't need anything whites have to offer. He also make sense explaining not only how far apart blacks and whites are but the past history and hate proves the two races will never ever come together. It's obvious by now that nothing has been solved and we will never agree on anything. His BET speech was brilliant and speaks volumes to how much hate exist.
all of us that know who we are and what's happening to us as a people respect those that have any influence using it to bring awareness to everybody thanks Jesse respect and luv brotha
+ Phil is a sexy beast. Scientists have shown that black is the dominant gene in most cases. Although, his skin is lighter and he has blue eyes if you put him next to a white man you will see the contrast. No one will look at him walking down the street and think he is a white man. Just look at photos of biracial people, over 90% of the time the black traits are generally more visible. On those rare occasions when a biracial person has white skin and blonde hair, they often have black facial features or if they have white features, they have kinky hair. They is generally a black trait that is present, that is what they mean that the black gene is dominant. It always shows up. It is very rare for there to be a biracial person who looks completely white.
He still looks 90% white. Obviously there is contrast but not to point that white people would give a crap because he is way too white, if there's hatred against black he be the last black guy to get picked on. His facial features are almost 100% white..
He apparently doesn't understand the panthers and what they did. Too bad they weren't around back then. These people are facing something different, and the laws that support them came from the generations before them, starting at the time before slavery.
Biracial man with Beautiful Blue Eyes that millions of women love, speaking the truth. Now maybe Michael Ealy, Willy Monfret, Shawn Newman, Wentworth Miller, Derek Jeter, Don Benjamin, Ronny Cash, Jeremy Meeks, Billy Payne The Hodge twins and other mixed men with Blue eyes will start to speak up.
I don't like the slavery movies people always say you have to learn about your history but isn't that your parents job movies only can show you so much it's slavery movies only show so much of a bad s*** and I'm from the south so you don't have to show you that already know so who are they showing at 2
+lola star Actually, yes, and the sad fact is that most people are ignorant of the fact. Was it a fucked up situation, overall? Yes. But were there also ountless instances of courage and strength and intelligence on the part of blacks and many whites? Yes. Moral of the story, know your fucking history by any means, books, movies and talking with anyone born before 1975.
Periods and comma's are a necessary form of punctuation for concise written communication, Vernon. But I can see from your profile pic that you may have been under the influence when writing this. In that case, I understand lol!
correct. but you as a private citizen blocking someone else from exercising their right to free speech means you don't actually believe in free speech, only in speech that agrees with your own beliefs. peachesandpoets
bigdrew2008 negative. That is not how it works. I believe in free speech, but if I owned a movie theater, I would not allow people to be able to scream "fire" with no consequences.
peachesandpoets people don't get charged for screaming "fire" they get charged for inciting a riot those are the consequences. Secondly, if you as a private business decide to limit people's free speech ability, that is your choice as a private business. The government should not have the ability to limit any citizen's right to free speech. Public and Private are two separate things.
bigdrew2008 people do absolutely get arrested for screaming fire. You can also get arrested for making threats, and speaking many other things. Free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. It means that the government can not make a law restricting your speech regarding regarding my the government. There are limits, set by the high Court. For instance, the government can make laws restricting the spread of known falsehoods, or illegal information...Amongst many other limits. Also, you say "public and private are two different things". Did you not read where I said that free speech has to do with the government? That was literally my first comment. You don't even know what you're disagreeing with.
Let us remind ourselves as a people of what we are. The signs on the water fountains and entrances said COLORED. YES WE ARE A MIXED PEOPLE ALL DIFFERENT HUES. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT DEFINES US ACCORDING TO DEUTERONOMY 28. YAH STATED FOR OUR SINS WE WERE CURSED. BUT IN US IT IS ABRAHAM'S BLOOD WHICH IS THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB WE ARE SAVED. NO MATTER WHAT ELSE IS IN US. THAT IS WHAT MAKES US HEBREWS. EVEN THOUGH WE DONT SPEAK IT. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE. ALL WE NEED TO DO IS OBEY YAH'S commandment for salvation. with them we will always be slandered before the world. if only to dismiss their guilt against us to prop up their superior white persona and privilege at our expense.
Jesse could've just past for a tanned white dude and just lived life with the White privileges. As long as he keeps his hair low cuz I've seen him with dreadlocks from years ago 😂
If you can't tell that Jessie Williams is a Black man, then you either need your eyes or your mind checked. You must be blind. Bet you thought Rachel Dolezal was a Black woman, too. SMH!
Blancita could you read your comment to yourself please, because that doesn't make sense. Passing doesn't nessacary mean he doesn't look black, he can actually "pass" for another classified non-white group like Arab or Latino.
+Scopps94 I never said that he couldn't "pass" for any of those groups. What I said was, I can tell that he is black. HE describes HIMSELF as a Black man, while acknowledging his mixed heritage. So who is correct? He or you?
He chose NOT to pass. He is proud of and secure with his racial identity. He is not some self hating coward, who would deny his race and the suffering of OUR PPL. just so he can live a life of privilege. Not everyone wants to be White, ya know? He chooses not to pass. That says alot about his integrity & character.

he was already yummy looking before this but this just took him up a notch

Never pressed the thumbs up button so dang fast iml! Jesse is that mfkn dude.

Didn't even take me 2 seconds
I've watched that speech about 25 times...I clap EVERY TIME it's over. Wake up y'all...
1st speech that ever gave me chills, while watching it.

Jesse should do what he does best ... act, pretend, other than that ... shut up

hate speech is also free speech. If you believe in free speech, you believe in fighting even for those you disagree with to say their piece.
Free speech has to do with the government.
