God, I am so TIRED of people saying that this man is NOT black. So what he is half white, has blue eyes, and light skin there were and are many black people who can pass for another race and fight for the cause of injustice. If he said he was not black there would be a problem, he says he is black there is a problem. This man is an activist for his people. Tell the KKK, and other ignorant white groups that he's not black and see if they give him a pass. Man, focus on what this man is saying which is a lot more than most can comprehend. SMDH!!!!
This is systemic of our sickness; good hair, bad hair, light skin, dark skin, etc., etc., etc. In terms of where this Brother's head is at, he is as Black as Malcolm, James Baldwin, Elijah Muhamad, Huey P. Newton and all the other Freedom Fighters that have come down through history. He is my hero because he speaks truth to power. May Jah guide him and keep him safe. Bless up!
and btw for the ignorant ppl. there are black ppl that are "fully" black that have light eyes, light hair, and light skin. just fyi in case yall didn't know. there are FULLY BLACK PPL WITH GREEN EYES. DONT SPREAD IGNORANCE.
+Arianna-Gabriele Marin people generally don't have a concept of Biology. There is no code for blue, green, etc eye colors. It based on dominant versus recessive genes. If you think about it. Animals such as cats and dogs for example can have blues, green, hazel, etc. So does that suppose to mean they suddenly have white human genetics?! No!!! Generally, people with lighter eyes colors have poorer vision then people with darker eye colors because it is a recessive trait. Darker=Dominant and Lighter=recessive. Hence why you tend to see whites with more lighter eyes typically then blacks because they have more recessive genetics in general. However, Black people also who are full black with no white in their lineage as you mentioned can display recessive traits such as natural blonde, light eyes, light skin, so on and so forth. So people really need to read more and research rather than going by the tv and media propaganda.
give that man a talk show. He talks wisdom that's soo far ahead of his time with such eloquence , I get why 19k pple would take the time to sign a petion to have him off our airwaves after a 5 min speech he made in an award show, which I am almost certain out of the 19k signees abt 200 of them might have watched that award show , but yet his words echoed and shook the country to the core. # true humanitarian and pan Africanist.
I don't know which is worse, the percentage of white people who have a problem with JW for the issues he's talking about, or the black people who have issues with his mother being white?I'm leaning more to the black people, because this brother has put his career on the line when he really didn't have too. He could EASILY just ignore what's going on in our community just like all the other BLACK entertainers and athlete who we WORSHIP and not say anything.If people can't see where this brother heart is, I really don't know what too say....
The fact that revenge from slavery is so deep is the reason for what you see now. The hate and violence that comes with restructuring their function like what you see in Dallas and Baton Rouge is retaliation for slavery.
Why are people so hung up and obsessed with him being half white? Who the hell cares, he's speaking truth. Despite being half white, he still has no problem calling out white supremacy, so I rock with him.
I lovvvvvvvveeee Jessie Williams! Speak! He has articulated everything that many of us have felt, experienced and have known for centuries. Also, I believe he has a unique perspective and ability to experience white privilege AND oppression because people would think he is white, black or mixed (which means black to many people). He is able to compare his experiences to see the discrepancies for himself and what is happening outside of him.
If you are talking about this man's color, than you are the problem. If you are dismissing the issues that this young man is addressing, then you are the problem. STOP IT!
because "they" are the enemy. If you disagree with what this man says,you're part of the problem.....how can a person who holds up a mirror in front of racists to let them see themselves be a racist??....It's a weak ass argument....how many whites are being oppressed by Jesse or The Minister for that matter,who they love to attack???
Because when you use manipulations of facts and full out lies in a speech about racism in America you are deceiving the listener with untrue information about another race. This is why Jesse Williams is racist.
He is my brother love everything he's standing for and African genetics dominant the recessive Europeans genetics. The way he's being hated on telks you clearly he is a black man overall.
I argee with Jesse except for the fact that they're getting caught on camera.They've been on camera,video etc for many years committing these acts.The problem is ,they're not being convicted of crimes even with footage.
