They Still Mad Because Jesse Williams Spoke Truth

I've been amused by the reaction by bigoted white peeps and the Conservafool Outrage Machine about the recent BET Awards speech Grey's Anatomy actor Jesse Williams gave when he accepted his 2016 Humanitarian Award.

Someone named Erin Smith (if that's her real name) laughably started a Change.org petition seeking to get Williams fired from his Grey's Anatomy gig for his 'racist' speech.






















Shonda Rimes, Jesse's boss, is unmoved by your shedding of tasty white tears, and neither is the president of ABC Entertainment who by the way, is also a sistah.

Yo Erin, a note for you and 'errbody' else that shares your misguided definition of racism:  Racism = Bigotry and Prejudice + systemic power used by a majority group to retard, roll back or eviscerate the societal progress of a minority group.

It is not a epithet white people like you shadily throw at Black people they are pissed off at because the Black person in question called out the negative behavior of white people and their fee fees got hurt.

That's the definition I and many others learned in Sociology 101 and it's obvious you either chose to ignore or were asleep in sociology class during that classroom discussion about racism.


To quote from Jesse's acclaimed BET speech:

And let’s get a couple things straight, just a little sidenote – the burden of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander.That’s not our job, alright – stop with all that. If you have a critique for the resistance, for our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression. If you have no interest, if you have no interest in equal rights for black people then do not make suggestions to those who do. Sit down.

And since you don't have an established record of critique for our oppression, have several sections of seats and sit your azz down.

The reality for non-white Americans that we deal with every day is that white skin matters in America.  Societal privilege based on melanin-free skin color, AKA 'whiteness' exists, and white supremacy is based on maintaining the dominant position of white skinned folks in this society.  Whiteness is part of that system of oppression and goes hand in glove with white supremacy.

Jesse Williams spoke truth that night on the BET Awards stage, and the bottom line is that you, the peeps who signed that misguided petition and the conservative movement can't handle it.

Rep. Alan Grayson Told The Truth (Again) And The Conservafools Can't Handle It

I've been amused by the conservafool freak out happening because Rep Alan Grayson (D-FL) called out the Tea Klux Klan in a fundraising flyer that substitutes a burning cross for the 'T' in Tea Party. 

I've called them the Tea Klux Klan for years and approve of Rep Grayson's message and love the fact he isn't backing down from what he said or apologizing for it. 

“I’m calling them out for their hate,” Grayson said. “That’s not wrong. That needs to be done. It’s the only way to end it.” 

He also went a step further by calling out the Tea Party Tea Klux Klan for being engaged in hate speech, prejudice, discrimination, racism and even warned that they could resort to violence.




Now comes the predictable play of the butthurt Tea Klux Klan - sending out their knee-grow auxiliary sellouts as human shields to defend them and their off the charts racism.

Jesse Lee Peterson shuffled out from whatever SoCal rock he was holed up under to laughably demand that Rep Grayson 'apologize to conservative Black and independents', then threw out in his press release statement attacking liberal progressive Black as 'being on the Democrat plantation.'.

That house knee-grow needs to have an Oreo cookie and a nice tall glass of STFU.   

Rep Grayson was correct when he said, "I stand by the unfortunate truth that the Tea Party has been all too willing to open itself and be a home to bigots, and prejudice now, for years. That’s the unfortunate truth we all have to live with. I stand by that.”

And it's a truth they can't and don't want to come to grips with.  The Tea Party is a cesspool of racism. That fact was true in 2010, it was true in 2011, it was true in 2012 and it's true right now. 

If you conservatives don't want to be called racists and bigots, stop acting in ways that leave non-whites and our allies no choice but to call you out and correctly describe you as racists and bigots.
