Jesse Williams of "Grey's Anatomy" Season 13 has been under fire for his controversial remarks at the 2016 BET Awards. The 34-year-old actor has been questioned for his racist comments while delivering his speech.
Jesse Williams received a Humanitarian Award as part of the Black Lives Matter society. He was then conversing about racial discrimination; police brutality and inequity in America that made him unconsciously differentiate the other race.
Jesse Williams said that problem of the abused will never be about to comfort the witnesses and so it has to be stopped, according to Design & Trend.
"If you have a critique for the resistance, for our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique for 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 it," Jesse Williams uttered.
These words of Jesse Williams at the 2016 BET Awards ignite a fire as the critics noticed that he, too, practiced a form of discrimination, which he was saying that everyone needed to avoid.
Hence, a petition of removing Jesse Williams from "Grey's Anatomy" is now surfacing at Change.org, which is instigated by some of his fans and critics alike.
"Jessie Williams spewed a racist, hate speech against law enforcement and white people at the BET awards. If this was a white person making the speech about African American, they would have been fired and globally chastised, as they should be, but there have been no consequences to Williams' actions," the formal request read, as started by Erin Smith.
Erin Smith added that there will be no companies that will accept Jesse Williams' racist statement at the 2016 BET Awards. She also added that there's no kind of move can rebuke his bad attitude, The Independent cited.
She also used the hashtags #AllLivesMatter and #EqualConsequences4RacistBehavior for ABC to notice her petition to remove Jesse Williams on "Grey's Anatomy."
