Yes, Jesse Williams Is Black Enough to Call Out America’s Racism

amazing that the whole 'light skin vs dark skin' mentality still exists in the minds of sum black folks. especially when u consider that the whole beef was started by white slave owners :smh:

there is no 'black enough' test one can take. either you're conscious of your history and people or you're not. either you have a heart to be of service to the community or you don't. the dude's speech is enough to answer both questions. anybody still asking those 'are u black enough' questions only shows that they're mentally bound by chains created by those white slave masters so long ago.........
Exactly. Fuck this light-skin vs. Dark-skin bullshit. All that does is separate unnecessarily. How long are we going to fall for the okie-doke? White supremacists & privileged hate the dark skinned people, and slight but still favor the light skin people making the dark skin people hate them causing an enemy on one side and a fake friend waiting to stab you in the back on the other.

We've seen that before. I take Jesse Williams for his actions and his willingness to use his platform even though it could very well mean his career as an actor.

Very rarely in the history of black people in this country has a black person when they are not in control of their own destiny still used their Fame to speak to the plight of black people. Jim Brown did it. Muhammad Ali did it. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar AKA Lew Alcindor did it, Harry Belafonte did it. Lena Horne did it, but not a whole lot of others. Michael Jordan never did it. Neither did Tiger Woods. Stand up and support Jesse. Don't allow them to divide us again over something as trivial as light skin.
 
Here's the situation(....of course not literally now but there's different elements to this)

We are black slaves and all of the bad,negative shit that comes along with being a black slave.We decide that we want to revolve against bondage,Master,his family and any person's against what we are trying to do,even our own if need be.Before it can begin we need to choose someone to strike the first blow against Master,his field hand,wife,servant or children as a sign that it's ok and the time is right for us to physically gain our freedom.
We have two choices for that specific job;The field negro or Buck who does most of the labor for Master and who is sure to strike a mighty blow when it's time and we have the house negro who is related to master.serves master,knows things about master that no field negro is permitted to know and he is up close and personal with master and his family as a negro can get to someone as white as they are without the fear of being whipped or killed.
Now remember the field negro has to be very careful because if he blinks wrong or anyone white get's an inkling that he might be up to no good,he's as good as dead and so is the idea for the time being.But flip-side of that coin is the house negro who is a negro no doubt,he comes from the negro but since he is also of the master he doesn't act nor thinks he is a negro and his interaction with the negro isn't as tight,do to his not being amongst them.But his eagerness is as poten as venom from a rattle snake let him tell it.
They both would agree to do it for the sake of our freedom even if it means death lurk amongst us all while doing so

Now the question is:Who is better fit for the job?Who do you trust?What's a better option?Is this really God's will?Are you ready to die?rather than live a slave,What about the other's whites?

The point is while some of us are to busy posing,wondering,asking questions the bottom line gets lost in the shuffle and questioning who's and who isn't black enough isn't important now,the goal out weights everything if we could just pull it off in that small opportunity we have and when it's all said and done does it matter?The field negro or the house negro when we are all FREE NEGRO'S.
(Yes I know it might get foiled and a lot of us might now make it but we are appreciative of the effort and we can kill the house negro on the second time around if he foiled it for us)
 
Before we can do anything we have to kill the negro in our heads. Defeating that negro alone will give you a 50/50 chance at breaking the yoke of racism and white supremacy.
 
Some folks are more willing to hear the message based on the appearance of the messenger.
So What?

Some folks are commenting on the notion that some folks are paying attention to the message because of the appearance of the messenger.
So What?

This is a non story, non issue and non divider.

95% of Black folks voted for our light skinned, half breed, half white president because this issue ain't really an issue.

All is well.
 
This lightskin vs darkskin thing is so old and corny.

not a fan of jesse, its like he overcompensates , like he have a racial short man syndrome , it's like I'm watching a half breed trying extra hard to validate his own blackness, a lot of his shit be extra over the top emotional temper tantrums with limited fact our true insight, what he said on BET was really much of nothing. What Sam Jackson said was far more relevant, but hey Sam is ugly and he black, so no one talking about they want to marry him.
Sam said what Jesse said what on point. How can someone that says something someone else said is truth be more relevant than the person that actually said it :confused:

I see this happen every . . . single . . . time. White people will shift the blame/discussion back to black people.


I'll watch the videos later but the powers that be are always gonna shift to "don't be a victim/what about black on black crime".This is a deflection tatic by cacs and their coon minons but out in the Streets/trenches (where it matters) I haven't heard anything bad about our brother and certainly ain't heard nothing about him ening light skin brought up.
 
He aint said shit David Banner or Killer Mike aint been done said for 7-8 years.

Can truth only be said by one person ?

Do you think what your parents said was something no other parent has said ?

Do you think there is NEW INFORMATION in any of the Hidden Colors Films ?

No dude its not new information or a new truth.

Just reaching a new audience.

Opening the eyes of some who didn't see before

And reinforcing for those that already know.

Should David Banner have not said it because Killer Mike already said it ?

I think you just trying to minimize the work and efforts of Jesse Williams
 
White people are masterful. They took the focus off white people, pushed the focus back over to black people and we fall for it every single time.



That's why armies are not made up of everyone.

You need a few focused, many are sheep that will follow in time.

There is no need for unity at the start of any movement cause sheep are not planners.
 
is he black enough..in an america that says if you have 2% black blood in you your black?? the fuck with the bullshit..
the dudes waking people up and now black people saying he not black enough..huh??
my people gotta do better
 


@49:00
whole thing is fire as usual but around the time mark he brings up a couple of interesting points...I don't necessary AGREE but I completely understand his views.​
 
We need to focus of the message and not the messenger.

Black folks have a God/Messiah complex.

None of this shit should be about a personality or individual.

Stop Praising Jesse Williams. Pretty please.

Jesse is going to disappoint us next week and then we are going to be saying, Fuck Jesse.

Let us just focus on the message.
 
None of us are 100% anything. To the majority....if u half Black.....u Black. And the World will treat you like youre Black.

But, even though I consider myself Black, IMHO, half breeds (like Jesse, Obama) ain't really "Black", African whatever. They're half breeds/ mutts/ hybrids etc. The reason Black folks claim halfies is because a) they accept White folks one drop rule and b) because they consider having European features or having devils blood mixed with African blood as something "special" or unique. So when u hate everything that has to do with being Black, you gravitate toward things that are diluted or not so Black...lol.


At the end of the day.....the DNA make up of the messenger doesn't matter to me. As long as what they're saying makes sense....and isn't misleading....then the message is cool with me.

and NOT only on BET

We got to stop attacking the messenger

ESPECIALLY in this case cause he aint new...

he BEEN doing this LOUDLY and PUBLICLY for YEARS too.

with a LOT more to lose then most of the twitter folk.

Why don't they attack those who NEED to be attacked instead?

I aint talking Timberlake either.

cause behavior like this?

Aint exactly ENCOURAGING anyone else with some fame and stature to EVER speak like this publicly again.
 
He aint said shit David Banner or Killer Mike aint been done said for 7-8 years.
