Jesse Williams Gives Must-See Speech At 2016 BET Awards - Justin Timberlake Faces Twitter Backlash

[@AJAMILx]

Let's get real clevver, if JT wasn't involved, y'all would've never reported on his speech.

[@pewdiefarts2350]

Right! I saw the thumbnail and got a heart attack because I never knew clever would report something like this. then I click and saw Justin Timberlake and was like oh and rolled my eyes 😂😂😂😒😒😒😒

[@AJAMILx]

Exactly! Even though they have such a huge following and could really make a difference, black media is hardly shown on Clevver. PewdieFarts

[@kezzandrews7423]

mmmm preach

[@odiammar]

IKR they cover all other award shows but BET, they do the Grammies, AMA's VMA's ect, but BET NO not today. no tea no shade

[@babyyoda1157]

SO TRU

[@RayRihanna22]

Jesse Williams is so intelligent, wise and well spoken, he was able to get his opinions across with bashes or hurting other races, he definitely deserved the humanitarian award!. And as for Justin Timberlake I don't he deserved any of the backlash that he got. He's a nice guy who was responding in a positive way so why the hate for him smh. As a black man myself I had no problem with JT's words.

[@jo303lozoya8]

👌👏

[@kezzandrews7423]

+Wolfpack8706 how he wasn't bashing Jessie Williams

[@souldrum86]

+Wolfpack8706 I'm confused on your standpoint as well. Help me out because shouldn't we all be on the same page? You act like JT said something bad about what Jessie said.

[@talk6532]

Yea i also don't know what JT said that was SO bad

[@ashtonb1217]

+Michael Moss What about Sandra Bland or the little kid shot @the park (shooter found innocent) or the kid found in a Matt with organs missing which was covered up by the police. That's what BLM is for

[@isarahbean2972]

There's a problem when JT's Twitter response is more acknowledged than Jesse's speech itself

[@gordonparker4570]

+Turrah G thanks u get it.

[@mavkdeena6100]

Exactly

[@SibilaDelphos]

why people in america are sooooo obsessed with race, seriously... if a black woman or asian woman wants to dance flamenco or wear a typical folk costume from Spain , I would never feel hurt for this. I'd think what great this lady wants to know our culture and love and appreciate our costume. This world is a FREE WORLD for goodsake and all those crazy things about cultural appropriation only happens in america because you are obsessed with political correctness and because instead to see what what unites us you prefer focus in what separate us. Actually there are more latinos in US than black people and i don't see them using this arguments for nothing . For me people aren't a race ,people share the same life because everybody is hurted when lose a lover, a relative, a friend, and laught when they are happy. This is a FREE WORLd and if i want to listen to Chuck Berry and being inspired for him I'll do it. Should we white people feel offended if someone of any race is inspired by reading a book written by a white or a black painter feels inspired by the work of Michelangelo? Should we feel offended if a black lady or asian lady wants to wear an ancient a Greek robe or wants to inspire by the white queen's costume in europe? Should we feel offended if a black man feels inspired by mozart? Should Latinos being offended if some of you want to learn salsa, bachata, or you want to play it? Should asians being offended if i buy a kimono jacket on a shopping centre because i thing japanese ornament and clothes are the most beautiful in the world? There's a buzzfeed video about indian-hindis bride.gowns, they are so beautiful, all people in the video make such a beautiful comments about their cultura and Indians are so happy for it . And 99% of them Looks happy if you wear a sharee with respect . For Goodsake, Why don't we just appreciate the beauty, the art, the traditions without complaining for everything? This is a nonsense

[@Madellien]

Completely agree with you. I've been thinking the same to myself :) I would take it as a compliment, not an insult if someone chose to wear my national costume or do things like that.

[@SibilaDelphos]

i bet you are not american :/ i know black people from Africa and South America and they don't understand this nonsense

[@SibilaDelphos]

+trublu97 true . The game is make us fighting against each other while the 1% of world population look and laught. Bread and Circus

[@taeminiexshinee]

Because the black woman or asian woman will not be told that they wear it better than Spanish people. Because the black woman or asian woman will not make money for it, then say that it's ugly on Spanish people. Because Spanish people aren't bullied, kept unemployed or have negative and toxic stereotypes attached to them, for wearing typical dresses and costumes. Because there's something called "white privilege". Because non-spanish black and asian woman won't say that they created Flamenco and rename it "quick valse". It's much deeper than just "free world" it's about history, heritage and respect. Before you talk, I'm from France and I know exactly why in other places, people don't protest against cultural appropriation. In Europe for example, we (black ppl) are more pushed towards cultural assimilation, and are often trying to "blend in" or appear "different" from the stereotypes. Anyway, at first, I also rejected the idea of cultural appropriation, but I read a lot, had conversations and educated myself.

[@SibilaDelphos]

+Lili Hime-Sama you are absolutely wrong ,here in spain we have japanese flamenco dancers, they make money of their performance and i think they do it very well.Actually there something called flamenco fusion and it's a of mix different traditions and music, like flamenco& Soul and it's amazing, or Flamenco & tango, like Pitingo o El cigala. I never heard for example a woman wears something better than other because is black or white . For example I can see rihanna in a beautiful art noveau dress or romantik and think wow she's absolutely beautiful .i've never heard any white people said they created rap, soul or blues. Another thing black people use to talk is about slavery and forget whites suffers slavery too for race and cultural reasons, In spain we suffer this trade too. The Barbary slave trade refers to the slave markets that flourished on the Barbary Coast of North Africa, or modern-day Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and western Libya, between the 15th and 19th centuries. These markets prospered while the states were nominally under Ottoman suzerainty, but in reality they were mostly autonomous. The North African slave markets traded in European slaves. The European slaves were acquired by Barbary pirates in slave raids on ships and by raids on coastal towns from Italy to Spain, Portugal, France, England, the Netherlands, and as far afield as Ireland and Iceland. Men, women, and children were captured, to such a devastating extent that vast numbers of sea coast towns were abandoned Spanish have bad stereotypes too, people used to use the imperialism cards against us and say we are racism, and we have a historical debt with the countries of south america , even our past colonies are free since 250 years and all spanish people i know can't be judge by their ancestor dud 250 years ago .

JT has no reason to be "inspired" 😂 he's been appropriating black culture for years

[@ashtonb1217]

Why is being inspired a bad thing? I'm not sure when support became a bad thing. And JT always said he took inspiration from black artists. He always has been inspired. He never trash it and always gave cred it so...

[@whattheflip6787]

+Ashton B so what

[@Laitalafraise]

👍👍👏👏👏

[@Womanmad1]

"You people"?? Justin said we're all one…."You People" tho….LOL.

[@Laitalafraise]

MrJazuko It has nothing to do with insecurities. It is an important issue actually and throwing words around like those just illustrates your intention of belittling the issue.Black culture is not "influencing" some people, it is being taken. You would think about "inspiration" when reading your comment but white people have not been "inspired", they have not created anything *new* so far. Cultural appropriation is when white people think Elvis Presley invented rock'n'roll, that tango is a white creation, and that today's greatest rappers and jazzmen are white people. Your comment actually proves my point when you say "other people" (like Justin Timberlake) are just "influenced" by black culture. No they're not. They're living the culture. When you reduce black culture as only an "influence" in someone's work, that's when there's a problem.

[@damariusingram6205]

What's wrong with Justin giving Jesse props on his speech? Music doesn't belong to any specific person/race it's their to give people a voice and help others. People just want to start drama for no reason congrats to Jesse! He deserved it.

[@selssm]

You guys should focus more on Jesse than JT.

[@bluenugget0218]

tell that to the people who made this into a twitter war when timberlake made the mistake of agreeing with this guy. to be fair, this is a pop culture channel, and the title of the video clearly states what the video is about. you have just as much power as these people to make your own videos.

[@chamari1998]

What Justin Timberlake said was taken out of context and misunderstood. People always say he appropriates black culture but that is the primary exposure of music he had when he was young. Growing up in Memphis, he was surrounded by black excellence and has every right to incorporate that into his music. He is not mocking it or using black culture as a backdrop or fashion trend as others but he is honestly making music with diligence and the utmost respect for the craft. And just as JT was, I was inspired by Jessie's speech. I was sitting at home watching it and I was clapping and cheering like I was there. Such an enlightened young man with a powerful message that I hope people heard because it is nothing but the sad and honest truth. His parents raised him right. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@tomaskuli177]

searching to hear the full speech but apparently Justin Timberlake appropriated it. lol

[@KossipNews]

I mean we could've just focused on the amazing speech lol but since we mentioned JT - I think the hate was a bit undeserved every single thing doesn't have to be turned into a negative all. the. time. 🙄

[@onyxsolo1]

A wise man once said he had a dream where his kids would live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Guess that doesn't apply when a "non-black" tries to embrace "black" culture.

[@panicatthefallout7710]

It makes me so upset that no one in the BLM follows that. They only use it to an advantage and it's just childish how they are acting. I understand what you're saying tho.

[@emidaria7942]

Embracing and appropriating are two different things. The problem with a lot of people, including you is that you talk, but don't listen. The speech basically said, GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. Has absolutely nothing to do with embracing smh

[@onyxsolo1]

Emi Daria I know the difference. if you honestly think someone appropriated something you did illegally take it to court and name names. But just throwing out a bunch of rhetoric like that is senseless....jmb

[@emidaria7942]

+Onyxsolo so we are just going to take every single person that has appropriated to court? its not realistic. making it like a public service announment like many, including Jesse, do, helps educate the public more efficiently. we honestly would have a more peaceful society if we were presented with a problem, listened, understood why it was a problem, changed it, and moved on. it's honestly not that difficult. just have enough respect to here you fellow man out. shouldn't be complicated at all

[@onyxsolo1]

Emi Daria What is the problem? Did you create the music or do you think just because your whatever ethnicity you are you have the right to claim someone appropriated something from someone else who is your ethnicity? Your race/ethnicity doesn't entitle you to anything and that goes all ways asian/black/white whatever. The credit goes to the artist and the artist alone their ethnicity shouldn't be a factor. If you have some legal tie to an artist and feal their artwork was appropriated you should at the very lease give clear examples but anything else is just a weak excuse to try to take claim to something you didn't even contribute to. And like I said before being the same race of an artist does not mean you contributed to the work they did. The dream was for people to be judged by the content of their character not the color of their skin. And that's all his rant was about.

[@Joedirtneck]

[@shelseajim.2476]

Why's is everybody hating on JT he said he felt inspired and then all it a sudden people take it out of context and to the extreme

[@hueykhalidX]

There is a difference between appropriation, appreciation and assimilation. With that being said, JT is a cultural appropriator.

[@sallygai7902]

I LOVE YOU JESSE! YOU'RE AMAZING!

[@PMAB8]

Why did they block his video

[@anthonybt9990]

Good question :)

[@Diggin2Metal]

Because he's a racist piece of shit. If a white person said this you would never hear the end of it. It's fucking childish and rude.

[@saaadmalless3882]

How is it racist, to dedicate his award to black women that don't get enough recognition? And to stand up for a group of people that should be equals to any other group? If a white person would've said the same thing it would've not make sense because they are the ones dominating in our society in terms beauty standards, work etc

[@underthemoonandoverthesky]

You always get blocked by the powers that be when you speak the truth! Jesse Williams was and is on point in ALL his comments. He wasn't kissing anyone's ass so they blocked his speech. His entire speech should go viral!

[@Faith-Ministries]

Exactly, thats why they blocked it, If some white guy woulda said that shit ppl would be whinnning for days....

[@anooshamoj6280]

i only clicked cause he's on Grey's Anatomy lol. WHERES MY GREY'S ANATOMY FANS AT ?!?

[@StylesbyNina]

Why not let him finish? That is your biggest problem. Too much talking, not enough listening.

[@ssilverwolf7887]

Exactly!

[@Canseeyt]

there it is

[@gissneric]

Justin should have never apologised after the backlash, it makes him just guilty even though he did nothing wrong.

[@ssilverwolf7887]

No we do not all face the same struggles, but we are all human, we all rely on each other whether we like it or not. For we help one another. We are all human, and we should treat everyone as human. THIS was what Justin was trying to say through my interpretation.

[@bluenugget0218]

now that's just racist.

[@doll406]

+bluenugget 02 how exactly was that racist? ?

[@erikamorales9417]

there's Mcsteamy and Mcdreamy but what's Jackson????? he deserves a name like that!!!

[@ClayBrice]

Congrats to Jesse on his honor.

[@DerekTJ]

No-one seems to have noticed that he's having a go at black men for deserting their black women.

[@mjtubeme]

JT should never have apologized. That news reporter was wrong for tweeting that.

[@pleidastaurus5908]

He should have because regardless of his intentions, how do you sit there and go we are the same, when the whole point of jesse's speech was about inequality and that white people are treated better

[@janessasimmons6117]

I loved Jesse Williams' speech. It moved me to tears. I have no idea why Justin Timberlake got ANY backlash. He literally was supporting Jesse Williams and was saying he was inspired. So weird how someone tried to make it a negitive. Let's not combat hate with hate, especially to people that want only good things. Equality for all. We are one.

[@deborahwa]

This should not be an issue. Jesse said it in an appropriate forum. His comments reflect the cause which he was being honored for.

[@lifelover1170]

They wouldn't even be talking about this if JT wasn't involved. That's the kind of society we live in. Stay Woke

[@MsMartymcfli]

So sad we keep changing the narrative Jesse Williams Stay woke and he trying to wake everyone up with his message....His speech wasn't to spread hate it was to address the problem in america today, yesterday and tomorrow...JT was just awoken yesterday that all

[@bluenugget0218]

i don't think anyone was 'awoken'. the twitter war resulting from timberlake agreeing with this guy only ruffled peoples' feathers. only thing JT did wrong was to agree with the guy in the first place. now us whites know to ignore racial issues altogether because we have no right to discuss them apparently.

[@wandasplace4619]

Speech was wonderful and so on point for these times. We needed to hear those words of inspiration and dignity after the Stacey Dashes and Oscar's racist dismissal of African American contribution to the arts this was a welcome inspired factual take on what's going on in this country once again being brought to attention and awareness by our beloved black entertainers. Best part of the night.

[@wandasplace4619]

lol what a ridiculous comment, if you don't have anything relative or intelligent to say, please dont comment on my statements, go have several seats ok. goodbye smh

[@wandasplace4619]

oh and one more thing b4 i dismiss you. The Scouts may have been the first to fry chicken, but without the spices and wonderful flavor that during the slave trade as it was give-n to us as scraps to eat, we put the spices and flavor in it that made it famous in the south and the all over the world. do don't give me no crap about we stole anything., now goodbye.

[@wandasplace4619]

i will no longer discuss these trivial things with you. It makes Jesse's speech a mockery. and i won't dignify racial inequality talking about who invented fried chicken. I will not comment again on this subject with you. you good and well what that speech was about, but u choose to get in a trivial conversation and try to dimen it. good bye and good riddens

[@wandasplace4619]

lol really, white, me, give up my brown beautiful, caramel skin the glistens in the sun,and feels so smooth to look like a pink pale pig skin, with dog hair. My weave as u put it, is from Moroccan hair, in the middle east you idiot, and I pay a hella lot for it. Not only white women have long hair, black women have beautiful long hair as well, and its soft curly and thick and doesn't thin at 30 like white hair so please ok,not that its any of yr business, but since you keep talking out of the left side or yr ass, I wear my hair all ways, both natural and straight because I have that option being a black woman. Now as far as me wanting to be white that's a joke. Its so rich being black why would i want to be white even in the face of racism and discrimination, racial profiling and all, I love Beijing black, not that I owe you any explanation. My race is the strongest most beautiful, race in the world. White women wear more weaves and extensions than us, so please. If a white woman like Bo Derek runs on the beach with braids and beads originated in Africa, she's not not trying to be black right, or they go and get big lips bumped in their face , and butt implants their not trying to be black right, man please. i can still be proud to be black even with blonde hair , which many Africans have naturally, I guess you didn't know that either. Which by the way looks beautiful on brown skin. We all take beauty from other cultures, just like white women do. I"m not a racist because I love my people, and speak against injustice. I'm a racist when I hate another human being and seek to oppress them and deny them the same right I want and fight for, and hate them without cause, and think somehow God put me here to enslave, kill, and treat them as anything less than human. and yes that goes for the Sudan and African countries who are doing it today as well to each other, but I'm not in Africa, I'm in my country the U.S.A. NOW IF YOU ARE QUIT FINISHED. making stupid comments, I'm done with this whole topic. Good day sir. and goodbye.

Blacks are considered god because they were the first humans to exist (Egyptian god and goddesses) every religion after that was copied,stolen and plagiraized from them. Since they were black and so powerful, we forced everything on them from the government,religion,schools, and our education to dumb them down. I come from a powerful family and my ancestors were/are part of the KKK, government and so forth. I've seen documents and hidden paperwork that proves that what most of what blacks are saying is true." btw she is white so ummmm....she admitted that whites have and still do oppress blacks. her name is Ashley Niecy Justice.

The United States is supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. If others are using parts of a culture, I would think that means that they are bring accepted by the masses. And dont forget, every culture got their ideas from other cultures. As populations have increased and people traveled to parts of the world, they married people from different areas and different cultures and adopted somethings as there own and made it something new. That has happened since there have been people.

White Anglo Saxon Protestants, called Wasps for a reason, used to be the majority in this country, and they used to hate the shit out of Irish, Italians, and Jews, when they stopped doing that, they merged cultures with them, and a group that loves Saint Paddy's Day, Pizza, and awesome movies emerged that we now call white people. What some people are calling cultural appropriation is just history repeating, the majority has almost stopped hating another minority, and now seeing the richness and value of their culture, are absorbing it into their own, now a group simply called Americans is beginning to emerge, and that group will include all 330 million people in this country, Asians, Latinos, and Indigenous tribes as well.

[@MsBrutalTruth]

I must respond to Jesse Williams' "inspiring" BET speech. First, I'm sure he had great intentions, but after listening to and reading the transcript of his speech, I can no longer respect him. Here's why: His speech was based on Black v. White, what about the Hispanics? Indians? Mr. Williams talks about his parents teaching him what schools were "too afraid to teach" and was talking in present tense. If this were authentic than he'd possess the fact that Irish slavery was a reality in this country also. Here's a fun fact for Mr. Williams, Oprah, and the Obamas: MY FAMILY doesn't owe anyone anything for slavery; we were slaves too. My great-grandfather immigrated here from Ireland. I'm the 3rd generation to be born in the U.S.; I'm "white", but I'm Irish. When my great-grandfather couldn't get work because buildings had the words "No Irish Need Apply" ETCHED into them, he joined the army, as did my grandfather. I could go on. However, before Mr. Williams speaks out of turn next time. He should speak how it is; not a Black v. White Problem, but a People v. Government Problem. When you divorce a case based on lineage the responsible party(ies) cannot be held responsible, and the future, whole populations (disabled, vets, etc), will be left behind. Those with concerns that go beyond the color of your skin (i.e. your children) should think about that.

[@avavago1]

There is no such thing as systematic racism you dumb shit.

[@aaronhowell729]

+anthony gold ???? What are you talking about Sir. Yes there is lol

[@avavago1]

Aaron Howell such as?

[@aaronhowell729]

+anthony gold basically starts with education. This also applies to poor people. Starting from pre-school/ elementary, some schools have more funding than others. Meaning more tools and resources to teach their students. If you went to a poor school, you're probably going to have lower act scores, not going to be enrolled into elite colleges, won't have the requirements to get a well paying job. Some people don't graduate, and have to enroll in the army. Nothing is bad about this, but why should poor people be the main ones risking their lives. Since poor people and people of color don't have the power to change the education or criminal system, they are systematically oppressed.

Jesse Williams message wasn't that we're all the same! His message sounded a little more like this: Black people!!! We're oppressed by this white institution! Let's focus on ONE particular horrible event to justify why WE are the victims! This isn't a poverty issue! This isn't a lack of education in the black community issue. This isn't a "there are more single black mothers than single mothers of any other race in the US" issue. This isn't a black fathers won't commit to having a family to focus on the next generation issue. And this is definitely NOT a "most black related deaths in the US are from black offenders" issue. NO!!!! This is a BLACK against WHITE issue.

Racist giving a racist speech to a racist cheering crowd for a racist television channel. Talk about irony.

or daughter

[@heyitzsalmaa]

so how about you fucking focus on what he was saying!! and not on dumb twitter drama? being y'all wouldn't have even covered this without Jt lmao

[@bluenugget0218]

the phrase "twitter backlash" is in the title of the video. it's a pop culture channel. that should be an indication as to what the video is about. this is youtube, where anyone can upload videos about whatever they want, including you. now, if people hadn't raised such a fuss about Jt having the GALL to agree with this guy in the first place, then the story would be different. but he just had to go and attempt to show empathy (what a fucking asshole!) and now he's getting hell for it. and yeah, timberlake is more famous than the guy giving the speech, so you're right. this wouldn't be a story without him. i guess you owe him one.

[@jelimupa]

I thought that the news was about Jesse Williams speech, but it endes talking about Justin Timberlake. Whites...

[@emidaria7942]

+JESUStheATHEIST1 wow....the ignorance is cancerous

[@jelimupa]

+Venom Snake WHITES BEGIN THE SLAVERY AND WE STRUGGLE SINCE THEN FOR FREEDOM & EQUALITY. You shoud read some history book for the first time in your life. White people stole and kidnapped not just africans, but also all the inventions, art, gold, diamonds and such. I do know my history, and it doesn't start with slavery! My ancestors used to be African Royalty, the richest and stronger of the world, that's why white people did what they did, because they need THE BEST workforce for free , and thats why whites could build their disgusting system, based in my ancestors blood and suffering. Anyways we are still here, taking the world! and there is nothing you fucking asshole can do about! We are stronger, smarter and faster than you! So, go read something and then try again!

[@ashleyheranadez6660]

😑 . tf am I doing

[@kaylabasketball07]

There shouldn't even be a "BET" that's segregating one race from others and I thought we all wanted to be equal?!!? Also culture appropriation shouldn't be a thing why are we segregating races and keeping certain things like hairstyles and music confined to one race????! ITS RIDICULOUS ITS 2016 WE'RE ALL THE SAME.

[@zoegyal]

Bitch stfu we don't complain when "becky" are seen all over Tv commerial and shows ! Why can't we have something, blacks fought to get everything wanted and we are still fight fucking... WHITE PEOPLE ARE QUICK TO CALL SOMEONE RACIST! When black women being uplifted by a black brothers you "becky" quick all women beauitful but i don't were us complaining you uys! Every fyucking is racist to whites smh... White pilvigedge if you like it or not! So you can fuck outta here w "ITS 2016 WE'RE ALL THE SAME." NO, were not all the same because we are still being mistreated and being gun down & shut at! Everyday! and being followed through stores while yall shop in peaces. racist exist doesnt fucking matter the year

[@tomaskuli177]

can I hear what the black man said without hearing about the white guy?... I think this is an example of what the light skin brother had to say. Damn Timberlake appropriated the damn BET Awards. muthafuk???WTH???

[@panicatthefallout7710]

How? How did appropriate anything?

[@tomaskuli177]

+Panic at the Fall Out It's a joke... I'm talking about the news reporting talking more about Justin's Twitter backlash rather than the actual speech... where's there's humor there's a kernel of truth. Figure it out from there.

[@metalkittie444]

I WAS THE 15 COMMENT

[@tjrocket666]

[@jennajones7490]

[@arp9541]

Bring back segregation , lets see if it works, black self rule, white self rule .! No more racism etc I personally thankgod for mixed cultures THAT GET ALONG but looks like here many just never want too so lets try it

[@rakialogan3372]

If you take the time to talk to all the black mothers and black fathers who lost a child from white police officer then you would get a piece of the pictures but the victims family get the whole picture.You may live in a neighborhood with hardly any violence and you get stopped by police there nice and polite because you are white that same story with black people turn out different we have to plan a funeral and theres video recordings of the black man or woman doing nothing wrong but the color of there skin being black is the reasob reason they were killed by the police

[@panicatthefallout7710]

I'm gonna disagree with you. I hate those cases cause all people see is race. Were you there? Did you see what happened? All you saw was the media. Stop focusing on race, cause what if they were committing a crime.

[@rakialogan3372]

+Panic at the Fall Out I am black I have black nephew that were with me and we were pulled over and made to sit on ground because we were black no ticket no apology so yes i was there and have experienced racism so yes Rasicm is alive and when experience it youll know some dont believe it stank until its your daughter your father your son

[@panicatthefallout7710]

Rakia Logan I was talking about the cop shootings. And are you just assuming they pulled you over for skin color, that's racism there. Unless the cop said some racist things or hurt you there's no problem. I'm actually taking a Law class, that usually happens if there's something their looking for like a similar car model or person. If it was a problem you could have took it up with the local police station. they would have dealt with it. I also don't see what you being black has to do with anything either, I'm black as well.

[@panicatthefallout7710]

***** Thanks. I'm trying.

[@adhityarisyad5707]

can someone please educate me on some level about black culture appropriation ? Please no hate.

[@StuckInThe80ssss]

Basically people want to appropriate black culture and enjoy the fruits of our labor without acknowledging our oppression. Plenty of black artists make the music jt makes nowadays that has blues and jazz influences but ain't nobody checkin for them lol. Dabble in whatever type of music you want but don't tell us that we're all the same when we're not treated as such.

[@adhityarisyad5707]

StuckInThe80ssss okay, but I've read that jazz is actually a unison between African and European music (Its everywhere on the Internet) some called it America's original music. So why is it wrong for "white" people to make music with Jazz influence ?

[@lizherrera1822]

+StuckInThe80ssss I totally agree

[@Faith-Ministries]

You ever think maybe one of the reasons is because No Matter what is said your never happy and still complain.....oh that white guy has more than me that's racist....bullshit.....Black people can go to college n get jobs just like white people....no difference.....The only racism is the stuff you make up and whine about it.. BET is a 100% racist tv show, If white people had a show and specifically called it WHITE ent ....there would be whining for days, but a black person does it and it's no problem.....I can turn on almost any show and you will hear black people making jokes or derogatory remarks about whites, know one says anything....but if some white guy makes a joke about a black guy then oh my goodness...the whole racist thing is just laughable, the only reason it's even discussed is because anytime something happens all you hear is...oh there being racist there being racist.....Black people get treated the same damn way as whites and black people have the same opportunities as white people and have, and it's been that way for a while now...

[@adhityarisyad5707]

Faith Florida I believe there is still racism left now. You and I might never noticed it but some black people are the one that know for sure. I do agree with some points you made about those people which just love to victimize themselves but lets not generalize.
