Jesse Willams just spit that pro black fire on the BET Awards

[Ol’Otis]

The author of Color Purple, Alice Walker, wrote a poem about Jesse and his speech


Here it is
the beauty that scares you
-so you believe-
to death.
For he is certainly gorgeous
and he is certainly where whiteness
to your disbelief
has not wandered off
to die.
No. It is there, tawny skin, gray eyes,
a Malcolm-esque jaw. His loyal parents
may Goddess bless them
sitting proud and happy and no doubt
amazed
at what they have done.
For he is black too. And obviously
with a soul
made of everything.
Try to think bigger than you ever have
or had courage enough to do:
that blackness is not where whiteness
wanders off to die: but that it is
like the dark matter
between stars and galaxies in
the Universe
that ultimately
holds it all
together.

this broad hate black men

That's not his dad.... That's someone he portrayed in an indie flick called 'Snake and Mongoose".

Actual quote from Jesse Williams: "I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said many times already."

Actual people in this thread: "He's gassed like he thinks he's saying something new."

Questioning the Blackness of someone biracial who identifies as Black and takes a stand for social issues that will benefit Black people is the epitome of splitting hairs and pettiness.

I'm in this thread like

Yes Jesse is Lightskin, Yes he works for ABC, Yes he's on a popular TV Show, Yes he's worth Millions. But he still went up there and said what needed to be said. Yes Black people have said every single point he said million times over. But it doesn't mean what he did was pointless. Also I've seen Jesse speak out on issues in the past. It's not like he's an armchair twitter activist. He does get out there and put his money where his mouth is. Yes there is lightskin priveldge and Jesse is getting some media attention that maybe a darkskin person wouldn't of gotten by the same speech. But that doesn't erase him having the balls to go up there and again say what needed to be said.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

you can quote me a millions times and it wont change that he isn't black and is instead a biracial.

but that's exactly what i've said each and every time.. why are you thinking that i'm trying to change something that i've been saying the whole time breh

Pro black "fire" spit by a mulatto. On a television channel owned by white people.

they can't get enought of symbolic preaching and jive talk. Add a biracial and they will eat it up.

Funny enough you would have thought Jesse would have made many more speeches from all the stuff going on after the awards. But we knew it was just to bring attention to the awards show.
