JESSE WILLIAMS SPEECH AT THE BET AWARDS SHOW

JESSE WILLIAMS is a "child of privilege".He is the scion of a white mother and a black father.
He has a recurrent role in the successful show "GRAY'S ANATOMY" on NETWORK TV.
Since 2009 ,he plays a DOCTOR in that serial show.

JESSE WILLIAMS is devoted to "the struggle".
Read his eloquent speech as reported by THE NEW YORK TIMES:



“This award, this is not for me. This is for the real organizers all over the country. The activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students, that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do.

All right? It’s kind of basic mathematics:, the more we learn about who we are and how we got here, the more we will mobilize. Now this is also in particular for the black women, in particular, who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves. We can and will do better for you.

Now, what we’ve been doing is looking at the data and we know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people every day. So what’s going to happen is we are going to have equal rights and justice in our own country or we will restructure their function and ours.

Now — I’ve got more, y’all. Yesterday would’ve been young Tamir Rice’s 14th birthday, so I don’t want to hear anymore about how far we’ve come when paid public servants can pull a drive-by on a 12-year-old playing alone in a park in broad daylight, killing him on television and then going home to make a sandwich. Tell Rekia Boyd how it’s so much better to live in 2012 than 1612 or 1712. Tell that to Eric Garner. Tell that to Sandra Bland. Tell that to Darrien Hunt.

Now the thing is though, all of us in here getting money, that alone isn’t going to stop this. All right? Now dedicating our lives to get money just to give it right back for someone’s brand on our body, when we spent centuries praying with brands on our bodies and now we pray to get paid for brands on our bodies.

There has been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of. There has been no job we haven’t done, there’s been no tax they haven’t levied against us, and we’ve paid all of them. But freedom is somehow always conditional here. “You’re free,” they keep telling us. But she would’ve been alive if she hadn’t acted so… “free.”

Now, freedom is always coming in the hereafter. But, you know what though? The hereafter is a hustle. We want it now. And let’s get a couple of things straight, just a little side note: The burden of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander. That’s not our job, all right, 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 in equal rights for black people then do not make suggestions to those who do. Sit down.

We’ve been floating this country on credit for centuries, yo, and we’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind, while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil, black gold. Ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them, gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit. The thing is, though, the thing is that just because we’re magic, doesn’t mean we’re not real.”

Sa ki enpòtan, se ekzanp ekstrawodinè ke Jesi Wiliams trase pou ti nèg ki pa aksepte wòl yo.
Misye ta kapab fè menm jan ak anpil ayisyen ak karibeyen ak afromeriken.
Anpil afriken tou.

Misye ta kapab pran pòz li se pitit yon fanm eskandinav pou l pran distans ak orijin afriken l.
Li ta kapab sèvi ak selibrite aktè l pou l di li pi bon pase lòt nèg ki pi nwa pase l.
Li ta kapab pran pòz milat oubyen grimo pou meprise la ras.

Ebyen, li kanpe pou l defann tout moun orijin afriken.
Li pran risk pèdi job ak pozisyon lan yon peyi ki enfekte ak rasis.

Chapo ba Jesi!

Anvan JESI WILLIAMS vin gen SIKSE kom AKTE ,misye te PWOFESE LEKOL.
Misye gen SIKSE vre.Mwen kwe ke yo peye misye anviwon 120000 DOLA pou chak EPIZOD ak 12 a 15 EPIZOD pou CHAK SEZON.
Misye fe anviwon 1,5 MILYON DOLA pou chak SEZON.

Se yon NEG ki ta ka AKOMODE l ak jan bagay yo ye.Misye di se "BLAN" ou byen EWOPEYEN ki ENVANTE bagay yo rele RAS lan.
Se pa yon bagay ki ekziste.
Se tankou AKTRES HALLE BERRY le li ale ann EWOP e le yo konnen ke MANMAN l se yon ANGLEZ "BLANCH".
Yo di ke l BLAN ak NWA.
HALLE BERRY konn reponn.Si w pran yon KAFE epi w mete yon ti LET ladan l ,se toujou KAFE.

Se konsa W.E.B DUBOIS te konn reponn tou .W.E.B DUBOIS rekonet pa "BLAN" e " NWA" kom youn lan pi GWO ENTELEKTYEL ak SOSYOLOG lan ISTWA ETAZINI.
Misye se sa nou rele ann AYITI yon MILAT.Granpapa l sou BO MANMAN se te yon "blan " ALMAN ;sou bo PAPA l ,misye se KOUZEN prezidan BOYER.
Se te lan fen 19yem SYEK ak komansman 20yem SYEK ,le gen MOUN ki te vle atribye ENTELEK li ak san EWOPEYEN .
DUBOIS te konn reponn ,se ak san AFRIKEN an;e misye te konn pale de GRAN EMTELEKTYEL AFRIKEN lan peryod sa EWOPEYEN yo rele MWAYENNAJ lan ,lan kote tankou TIMBOUKTOU ,GAO,JENNA ,ann AFRIK.
DUBOIS te konn reponn ke toutotan ke gen NESESITE pou kesyon sa a poze ,se san AFRIKEN an li ap rekonet.
