You are. You think we are pointing the blame at just police. We are addressing the mistreatment from the SYSTEM that the police work for; Its institutionalized.

[@rahmahusein8141]

With all of this going on today it reminded me of this speech I had to come back and rewatch it

[@gracieliz95]

The idea that Jesse Williams would be fired for this speech is preposterous. It is nothing like what Isaiah Washington said. First of all, he's just honestly speaking out about what he sees happening in America. He isn't calling out or insulting specific individuals, he's saying that there are many broken systems in our country that need to be fixed. And honestly, it has nothing to do with his job on Grey's Anatomy. In my opinion, he didn't use any offensive language or say anything hurtful. Just because you don't agree with him doesn't mean he's prejudiced against whites. We all know that we have corrupt police officers in our country. Police officers know it and so do civilians. OF COURSE that DOES NOT mean that ALL cops are racist. He's calling out the corruption, hatred, mistreatment, and other failures in our society, he's not calling you out personally, so you don't need to get defensive. I'm bracing myself for whatever arguments you have, so go for it.

[@abentwookie]

The only arguments people will have will be completely unrelated to the issue being discussed here. You'll get a few screaming about crimes rates among black people even though they won't bother to actually do any research into the reason why the numbers exist. They will just blame it on the amount of melanin in a person's skin because that clearly is what causes crime. lol

[@littlelambchopz]

+just plain_name what bullshit??your only calling it bullshit because it's not what you want to hear!!! if it's really bullshit just pull out all the reciepts then. I want to see them. also you should open your mind and try to understand what he's talking about.

[@Bsgrundle]

That's how I feel. He got his message across without any hate speech or targeting individuals. Yet people are defensive and upset, when they know we have corrupt government.

[@crysdee461]

I mean first off Isiah Washington used the "f word"... Jesse Williams didn't use one ethnic slur in his speech. He barely brought up the word white... He was speaking to Black people and our allies.

Is not the concept of Black only awards racist?

[@s777jm]

BET is owned by Viacom. The same company owned and operated by MTV and Nickelodeon. So saying its black owned is false. Its Black entertainment. Meaning its airs mostly shows starring black people. It is not specifically or solely for blacks. Anyone can watch if they so choose. White and other races for that matter have won and attend the BET awards. So again NOT solely for black people. Eben if it were black owned. Black owned things are not specific to blacks. Its stating who owns it. Not that only black people can purchase their wares.

[@MarvelDcImage]

I did not write BET is black owned did I? I just asked "Is not the concept of Black only awards racist?"

[@s777jm]

Oh sorry to answer your question... Yes, that would be racist.(Like the Oscars and all those other award shows for nearly 40 or so years. Which is why we have all these award shows for others now btw. They were a necessity not exclusionary) BUT being that it isn't blacks only, it's fine.

[@s777jm]

I'd respect him more......he earned what he makes. And he's not embarrassed to show his face like you. Did you listen to the the words you heard? Try it. Really....try to understand the meaning as well. It's not that difficult. It's easy to lash out (your anger is at yourself by the way)....not as easy to take a deep breath ......think. Who do you want to be? Just another ignorant, poor racist loser?

[@mca4999]

Airbloom Amplifiers as if he came from the bottom. I've already heard this speech from at least 20 different 'celebrities'. Be wise.

[@lealeandre1063]

Airbloom, these people are so blinded by their own ignorance and arrogance they can't see the truth. Please don't waste your energy. When black people don't have jobs, they get criticized. This young man has an education, an nice job, and no criminal record. He is married and has no baby mama drama. He is a success by all decent standards but that will never be good enough for insecure white people. At some point we have leave them alone with their ignorance because they willingly choose it.

[@mca4999]

I'm black, but I'm not the target of this publicity stunt. Clearly you are, you believed his words.

[@smurfling82]

Coming from Europe, I was fascinated to hear Jesse Williams intelligent and passionate speech as we are not properly informed here on how the situation is in the U.S, if your going to show a speech show the WHOLE thing!

[@khanhelal1151]

Love him or hate him He is spiting straight fact rn

[@travisriva9655]

In 2022 nah not really

[@Justmyhandle]

I'm truly lucky and grateful to have been raised by parents that never once taught me or showed others prejudice. My father grew up during the Civil Rights Movement and, like many at the time, could have easily grown into a racist adult. Thankfully, both brought me up to be respectful and judge one's character based upon their actions, not solely by appearances. I'm certainly not making them out like they're perfect, no one is. But I've been proud for 24 years so far to call them my Mom and Dad. I honestly didn't care about skin colors at any point back in school. I didn't know it was even an issue for people until we first started learning about slavery. I won't pretend to personally know what victims of racism go through, because I don't. But that doesn't mean I'm 100% ignorant on the reality of the subject or that I have no right nor place to have an opinion on it. If my 10 year old self saw this kind of treatment, knowing what I know now, he'd say: "Why are people being so stupid?" I like one thing Timberlake said (not because he said it, just the statement itself), "we're all human". I treat someone the way I would want to be treated, and if he/she gives me a problem, I just don't associate with them. GOD FORBID, more people could do the same.

what was racist about it??? if is was white ..gay or transgendered it would have been the truth tho!!!! Right?

[@dagreeneyedbastard9298]

so basically, don't speak the truth or you are racist and how dare blacks label something for themselves after years of slavery, how dare they.........I know for a sure you support trump

+anime alpha (an) BET only serves Blacks. That is racist in itself.

[@Sandypetr]

"I got more yo".

[@jstanley011]

Look up "token black" in the dictionary and there's a picture of Jesse Williams. The type of black who looks, talks and acts white despite the extra melanin -- which is exactly why he got hired onto that show. This rant, quite obviously, is a product of "token black" guilt.

[@judefetzen7018]

He must HATE his White mother, Johanna Chase, a professional potter.

[@crysdee461]

+Jude Fetzen You two have no idea what you're talking about.

[@ttlayo1359]

In what way does he speak white? Just because he is well spoken that means he speaks white?? Have you been to any other countries in the world and heard other black people speak? There isn't a black way to speak. There's just well spoken and not both exist in all cultures...

[@crysdee461]

+Lynne Gordon they won't hear you though? A lot of anti intellectualism through out these comments.

[@adamsauve]

Just like there is hick talk and ghetto talk, there is speaking white and speaking black. IE European English vs US English. If you think there isn't a difference between speaking white and speaking black, you are delusional. Intentionally denying the truth isn't helping..

[@LSGproductions713]

Funny how Stacy Dash gets insulted by black people for not being fully black and this guy gets all the praise from blacks even though he's not fully black.

people are mad at THIS? what the fuck is wrong with this speech? i'm not seeing it, i didn't hear it.

[@janistransbian]

i still don't get why any1 is upset over THIS^^^.

[@Berlinwood27]

Because hes not black

[@GumbysImperialMedia]

He lied and vomited out racist and discredited conspiracy theories that have caused cities to burn to the ground.

[@janistransbian]

why does not being black have anything to do with it? that makes no sense. and WHAT RACIST AND DISCREDITED CONSPIRACY THEORIES? he didn't say anything like that. he is clearly not racist. nothing he has spoken has been discredited. foxnews proves nothing.

[@martineboucicault3961]

right?

[@TheIsisWinter]

I can list a bunch of white teens and white kids shot and killed by police. I don't understand why he says that only blacks are killed everyday that's simply not true. Isn't saying that racist? I don't know he seems to be segregating and being racist himself

[@melvinanusmolester]

This "black" guy looks like a white dude who fell asleep in the tanning booth.

[@jeremyjames6281]

And one more thing...funny to talk about racism in America while you are at a Black Only award show, shown on a black only tv channel. Hmmm...who's creating segregation and racism?

[@herrerambp]

the channel was created to combat the mostly-white media (kinda how there's black history month since we mostly celebrate white historical figures). Nowadays things are a little more diverse but still most channels are run by whites with shows casting predominantly white actors... anyway, that's beside the point. I wish people could have rational conversations but both sides have very dumb vocal majorities, as the average person is pretty dumb and ignorant, regardless of race or nationality.

[@schwann145]

Eeeexcept that's bullshit. We don't celebrate any Irish historical figures. No Scottish. No Chinese. No Russian. We tend to celebrate American historical figures almost exclusively, and the black population in America has always been a very small percentage. We don't need Black History Month to remember black heroes or icons - there just aren't anywhere near as many of them hailing from this country. That's not racism, that's just reality and math.

[@JB88-]

Exactly what I said Jeremy. All he accomplished during his hate speech was creating more anti-white racists.

[@TonyBambino]

Wow... you're an idiot. Ummm because China, Scotland and Russia arn't apart of America, dumbass... LMAO.. Blacks might be a "smaller percentage" but we BUILT this country.... blacks are the only minority groups that have fought in EVERY major US war.... so fuck off.

[@JB88-]

+Dead inside but still horny They act like every fucking white person is racist and out to get them..bitch we are the majority in this country and we elected a black president! It's 2016 not 1930. If you truly want to be equals then there should be no BET because that causes division. There has to be give and take on all sides to accomplish unity.

if America is such a hateful ass country who does it the best? And don't even try referencing homogeus countries like those in Scandanavia.

[@maryjones3249]

+Glen F how would that be racist? Because white people can't say that their race is being killed by police officers at a higher rate than white people, when black people say that then it's racist?

[@maryjones3249]

Glen F I read that and I'm still confused about how that has anything to do with what was expressed in this video

[@maryjones3249]

Glen F do you live in a box or something? Because I'm pretty sure rekia boyd, John Crawford, Eric garner, Samuel debose,walter scott and many more were not fighting the police when they were killed so don't tell me it's only criminals that are subject to police violence. And do you know why there aren't white people protesting against that? Because they don't care enough to do that. And no they would not be dismantled because the kkk, a group that lynched, raped, murdered, and burned African Americans are still standing today so you can not tell me the group you are talking about would be dismantled. And do you watch the news? There have been hundreds of arrests made because of that so know your information before you come here with some bs.

[@bonitaroache73]

I absolutely love everything that this beautiful looking man said in his speech! As far as I'm concerned, he hit a Grand Slam for speaking his mind. I definitely love what he said, the way he said it, and how he spoke. If people don't appreciate it, then its not for them, its for those of us who actually give a damn about what this country was built on. I totally appreciated his candor at the right time and the right place, when you have that much honesty and truth in front of your face and in your face, there's nothing to argue about. He can live with himself, his conscience, his values and go on loving his wife, his family and the wider world around him. He's definitely going to be retaliated against because the Establishment hates anyone who'll stand up and challenge their so called authority there's no doubt about that, but Jesse felt like he spoke truth to power and he can live with that and his convictions. I have to say that it shouldn't have taken so long for something like this, Malcolm X, Dr. King, Louis Farrakhan, and to a extent Tupac Shakur have espoused all of this and then some. Everything Jesse Williams espoused reminds of what Eric B. and Rakim said in their song, I Ain't No Joke!

[@bonitaroache73]

+Mr. C I wasn't rude and mean to you, your behavior was completely unnecessary towards me. If you didn't agree with what this person said and how I was moved by what he said, than don't respond. It's your personal business and your personal responsibility if you don't like or appreciate what I was moved by, but to talk to me in a condescending and demeaning fashion is unnecessary and I expect better than that from you and you should know better than that. I really hope that you reevaluate your self-respect and your maturity.

[@kay-marie1076]

He's half black

[@issa.israel]

Of course he's Black.

[@issa.israel]

Funny how Whites are suddenly trying to co-op Blacks with White blood all of a sudden. 150 years ago, if his great grand mother had been raped by a white boy you would have been calling him the N word...now a half black is "not even black", lol. But the larger point is, why does somebody have to be black to speak the truth. There were White abolitionists for e.g. like John Brown. You don't need to be a part of the oppressed group to recognize oppression. That being said tho, it seems to me that White Americans always try to rationalize wrongs instead of just accepting the truth and saying F it...this is who I am. For e.g. when its time to overthrow another [brown or black] leader and steal their resources, White America has to give the schpill about him being a terrorist, or evil, or crazy or make some other silly back story up. Just embrace who you are. If you're the bad guy so what.

[@BlueSkullX]

If anybody can find one thing wrong with this speech then you just want to find something wrong with it. He addressed what's going on in the world. Do you want him to lie? You can expect Black people to ignore the fact that in the past 5 years we have had over a hundred unarmed black men and women who were shot down, strangled, and tasered to death. But for some reason every single one of those deaths were justified or ignored as just self defense even though they didn't have a weapon. Whenever we address the situation we are hated by everyone. Even right people are signing petitions for this man to be fired from his show. What happened to free speech? If we don't agree everyone else and have an opinion we lose our careers. That's bullshit.

[@alaly1027]

He isn't losing his career. The people who are angry are the people Jesse is talking about. Too ignorant to realize that BLM and the BET awards regularly include white people. Too mad to realize how much of the speech isn't even about white people. Too dumb to realize Jesse's white mother is in the audience and clip.

[@shaunr5450]

The whole speech is wrong. Just do a little research and you can see how this guy is and anyone who supports this speech is misinformed (to put it nicely). In addition to the numbers that disprove this idiot's speech, many of these cases, Mike Brown for example which many believe started this whole movement, the officers were acquitted because of testimony by black witnesses and a black judge. This guy gives a speech while receiving an award in a room full of black millionaires, in a country with a black president, a black attorney general and says the country is racist. Wow, such ignorance.

[@BlueSkullX]

[@Audaylon]

This guy is so negative.

[@Soluchi-InfiniteCoCreatorGod]

This is an Amazing speech. Now, i don't mean to change the subject to be about me, but this needs to be said. In my line of work being a Michael Jackson Tribute artist, you'll notice that most tribute artists are WHITE. I'm one of the only few Black Michael Jackson tribute artists that do what I do. Now I tend to get booked more because of my natural MJ look, the fact that I'm black and also because my dancing and performances are Always on Beast Mode. Even with all this, there are times when seeing white tribute artists really gets under my skin. Because we know that even though MJ's skin tone became lighter in complexion and he had a nose job, he was still a BLACK man. But white tribute artists use MJ's light skin tone as an excuse to impersonate him. They'll think "oh, he looked white...so why not". To me, I think that's such bullshit. It really irks me sometimes and it reminds me of how black people are basically used for their culture, influence, and then discarded till the next naive Black person comes along. I know there's only so much I can do about it. But I just had to get this off my chest. I know I'm not the only one who has noticed this.

[@Soluchi-InfiniteCoCreatorGod]

The Jackson estate put an end to that. Unless there's another British guy trying to play MJ. Micahel Jackson stated in an interview that if someone were to play him in a movie, having a white person do it would be disrespectful.

[@Soluchi-InfiniteCoCreatorGod]

That's the one I was referring to. The Jackson Estate shut it down because it goes against Michael's wishes. Very disrespectful.

[@younggraymare]

Why? MJ spared no expense and effort attempting to reduce his "blackness"!

[@Soluchi-InfiniteCoCreatorGod]

Lies. MJ had vitiligo (there are pictures of that with a simple google images search) and he was proud of being black. He's spoken about his black pride a lot. MJ also wore wigs because he burnt a good portion of his hair and scalp shooting that 80's Pepsi commercial. You need to do your research before spewing false information.

[@josephfriedman2243]

And how will his children being raise with views like this see their white grandmother? All law enforcement is not white; I should know I am one. His is as white as his is black no matter what label he may claim or be placed on him. Biracial people need to understand the blood that runs through their veins are equally of each race. I am biracial and I know who I am, I claim, nether white, nor black. I am just me. That my friend is how you fix the problem and yes there is a problem.
