Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams will not lose his job for speaking out of turn at the BET Awards last month.
Williams, who is half white, called out white people for appropriating black music for fame and profit.
He also showed support for social media militants, Black Lives Matter, saying, “We know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people every day.”
A petition was circulated online calling series creator Shonda Rhimes to fire Williams from ‘Anatomy’.
In response to the petition, Rhimes, a self-hating closeted lesbian who is reportedly bleaching her skin, tweeted: “Um, people? Boo don’t need a petition. #shondalandrules”
Williams plays Dr. Avery Jackson on the ABC scripted TV series.
The fact that they really got in their feelings and started a petition is laughable. As long as Shonda runs Thursdays and Channing Dungey & Nne Ebong run Entertainment and Drama at ABC Jessie will have a job!
COME THROUGH A.C. BAE!!!
(THE A IS FOR AFROCENTRICALLY :YES:)
Good.
I saw no lies in his statement.
People begin petitions for EVERYTHING! Social media has given idiots voices that they should not have.
She didn’t even need to address that lunacy.
Dang. They big mad, huh?
I know the title does not say “Phuck your petitions”. ….I’m DEAD ????
I love it!!!
I just washed my hair and water dropped in my eye, I read that line as “Rhimes herself half lesbian” I was like WHAT? DWL Sidenote: my lesbian cousin is always crushing on light skin pretty boys, I mean she gets real thirsty over them. I think there might be a thin line between a very soft man and a very hard stud. What ya’ll think?
Some folks man. Find your ass a HOBBY.
I read only 1600 stupid ass racists signed the ish. Still though
And we thought she would? Tuh!
BIG! If we have to put up with Donald the antithesis of everything Jessie is, they can deal
Is that my boy Tommy? I’m so ready for Power.
That is the sexiest light bright man I have ever seen in my life. The masculine just oozes out of his face…. I swear on RIF fetus I have never looked at a light bright this way.
Oh and glad she isn’t caving in to the pressure. I just might start watching that show.
“Speaking out of turn”??? Wow. But why am I surprised? *looks at masthead*
Yes it has. People are annoying af now.
Been.
That be him
Where can I find this petition? I wonder if I can leave a comment like on those GoFundMe pages …Feeling a little petty today ?
Happy birthday Sis! Turn up!
Yes. they did. Bc she fired Isiah Washington over the gay slur thing. After a petition. So they thought they could try it again. Hated it
Two more weeks. SHEWWWWWWWw
Love her response. Made my morning. Now have a seat and be mad.
Cracker Jack’s are annoying. Jessie got their asses in their feelings. They will deal because Jessie has already spoke the truth. I wish some of these self hating brothers can take a note out of Jessie book. They want us to listen to Ayesha so I néed the hem to listen to Jessie.

Girl yes.
folks sooo mad at the…TRUTH! Yeah for SR #MyShero
And that is way less signatures as they claim in news stories. Smdh. Who knows. Racist fukks
That was real classy and to the point. Blank stare.
Cracker Jacks…. LMAO
Power be back SoonT
I get so sick of social media. People get so bold and want to voice their little opinion about everything, sometimes over stuff that don’t really bother them. I really think there should be a Social Media Free Day where all the social media sites go down for a day. Some people might go damn near crazy, but I would LOVE IT!
Tell em Shonda!
FOM with that mess
Lol
Every day is soc media free day for me.
THIS is my soc media.
I gotta control what goes into my brain as much as possible ???
All of that adjectival invective against Shonda was wholely unnecessary. Thank goodness she is rich and successful enough not to give a shyt. That said, good for her supporting Jesse which is all the article should have been about in the first place.
They need to lurn (today) that just as we get one token black in a workplace. They get one petition firing per black owned show. #useitwisely
?IF you do, do it right. Make us proud
???
Crackers should stay in the saltine box.
But sometimes like Queen Latifah said….you gotta let em know you aint a bitch or a whoe.
Happy Birthdayyyyy ?????????
UNITY ???
After his speech I’ve wondered how much his life has changed, because I’m sure it has. How are people treating him at the work place, are neighbors looking at him with the side eye, is the waiter/host at restaurants taking their sweet time getting to him(well more than usual), are some family members pissed with him. But on the other spectrum he gained alot of respect from the black community. Just a thought.
I hope my hotel got Starz cause I’ll be on vacation. Otherwise I’ll have to wait til I get back on Tuesday ??.
Thank You! !
Yeah they only got 7,000 signatures. The petition to deport Justin Beiber got more than that ??
My thoughts exactly to fine.
Chile. Shonda run ABC.
Thanks sis. I turnt all weekend and half of yesterday I need a nap …lol
Shonda was like bye with mess
They only in their feelings because he is not claiming his white roots & PROUD to be a BLACK man. Go Shonda! I LOVE working on ur shows… U the BOSS!
Hot dogs holler. That’s why they so mad.
Wheelchair Jimmy.
Off Topic: Soooo… King momma is looking at a minimum of 3 years for her felony arrests of identity theft and stealing shitt???
That family makes me want to call my family I haven’t spoken to in over 15 years and say hello.
“Williams, who is half white”
“social media militants”
Trigger phrases and words. Learned that in a psychology course last week while discussing Trump, Hitler, and other hate mongers.
Did I just read the phrase a self hating lesbian?Lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao???? I’m not even touching that one???? #BlackLivesMatter??

Whatever he does, I hope black people back him up. He’s been speaking on our behalves for a while, but this time he garnered more attention for it and put his career on the line by doing so. We stand up and applaud his speech, repost photos of him and whatever else, because it’s easy to do. Where is the REAL work. Just like when Trayvon passed, these dumb azz celebrities and non celebrities posting photos of themselves with hoodies, talking about “I am Trayvon Martin” …….and I’m like “NO THE F – – K YOU’RE NOT. Trayvon is dead! What the f – – k is you posting that gonna do. NOTHING!!!…..and when those basketball players turned their jerseys inside out (or something like that) in protest of whatever injustice that was at that time (I forgot because there’s so many) and I’m like HUH, WTF, REALLY??? We need to put in work…….SERIOUS WORK, not posting and retweeting s – – t like that gonna be the cure. Can’t no one man carry us all.

LOL. I’ll rephrase it then, “Rest up!”
I hope Black people back him up as well. Even the Neo Blacks like @Sandra. We can’t bash them for not speaking out, yet not support them when they do. He’s risking so much. We’ve got to stand in line behind him. Catch him when they try to knock him down. He needs us. We need him, and he needs us…
But Isaiah was being hateful (that’s considered hate speech). Jesse ain’t spoke nothing but the truth. Glad she has his back. Someone (of a high enough profile) needed to say what he said.
Everything you just said is on point. It’s SO frustrating to watch people just sit back and do nothing. smdh
U-N-I-T-Y
Haha I love the title auntie!
Perhaps there should be counter petitions started.
Lol yeah

Who is the honkey that was watching BET awards that went and told on Jesse?

Majority of GA fans are white women and it’s a lot of them that signed. You know they super salty too that he showed appreciation for black women for being dedicated, nurturing, and putting others before ourselves (especially since his momma is white…).
I saw that too – AND SHE BLEACHING! LOL Sandra is on it.
But I learned too that the white powers that be will use worlds to negate the fact that a person is that, and rather an object. W*t B*cks, N*ggers, Ch*nks… that way killing and mistreating them doesn’t seem so bad.
You know they stay watching and reading our stuff…
Right, becuse as soon as us graham crackers wanna come out to play, we get broken up devoured, and shot up to pieces!
Tommy Dee-Man. I so hope there is a set up plan and he’s not really salty trying to get rid of ghost. He need to kill Holly’s trife behind!
“a self hating lesbian”… touché
A. Owner of BET (they ain’t black you know)
B. Stacey’s pointed nose azz. (she wishes she was white so bad)
C. Don “Sugar Booty” Lemon (he hates blacks because he probably feels like they don’t support his lifestyle, when in reality, beige people are more anti-gay than anybody)
D. Pharell (he is the NEW BLACK and he thinks that Jesse should stop blaming others for black peoples problems)
E. White media who’s mission is to only stir up controversy.
F. All of the above.
Sandra, what difference does it make if she’s lesbian. Why must you always throw superficial insults in discussions regarding serious issues. Perhaps she is closeted, that is her business. What stake do you have in this? Do you disagree with Jesse’s speech. I don’t think its a laughing matter for you be petty on this subject matter. These sprites trying to get this brother fired for speaking the truth.
“Speaking out of turn” huh, whaa?!? It WAS his turn to speak.. Who’s next?
Sounds she was thinking of herself
I like what you did there?
Thank You…and I am slow today.
Lol.. too funny..
1 thing , I am glad she ain’t fire him. He is a hero and a stand up dude. ???? most full blood Negros ain’t said or did ish. Hats off to him. 2 thing, a self hating lesbians, really now? You don’t say?
You mean sand box right? So they be like the ? they are.
So what you’re saying is.. Light skinned dudes are soft?!?
Gd job Shonda, and Ellen rubbing it too on their faces
Lol.. They kept showing him in the audience. Me and my mom was like “who is that”.. we soon found out, lol.. Dude fine!!!
>>>>we are here<<<<
Yup!
Never thought about that.. I’ll be praying for him..
I thought you were talking about Ellen Degeneres ??
I done luuurrrned tuhday!!!
I want the show to get rid of Holly so bad. She’s the worst.
I had to take a break at Don “Sugar Booty” Lemon.
Oh and just to clarify, he didn’t speak “out of turn”. He spoke when it definitely WAS his turn which was to accept an award for speaking about the aforementioned bullskit. Carry on.
Is Sandra back in or has the LI gone rogue? ?
Oh sorry I meant Ellen Pompeo..?
I face ignorance from my people everyday.. To balance it out.. No to overpower it I surround myself around positive black folk that’s doing sh!t instead of talking sh!t… Its working out just fine with lots of prayer for my comfort and support..
Realtalk…. lol
Why would “they” start a petition?! Nothing that he said was hateful…but “they” hate the truth! Shonda isn’t stupid because of this, I bet you she will have arise in ratings for grey’s anatomy….more black peoples too!
I’m truly dead @ self hating lesbian. ????? ok sis.
This made me laugh a deep blackfolk laugh ROFL!!
Good.
Record and watch on device.
If she wasn’t such a con artist, I could deal, but she manipulate Tommy and he keeps falling for making dumb mistakes which is the wedge between the two why him and ghost beefing.

Damn he so fine!! ??
I am going to START watching the show because of the stupid petition!
Come on thru blue eyes! They can’t stand when folk kick the truth and they not liked! They can’t handle that. It’s his opinion just like everyone else.
I think they will squash by the end of the season but I need Kanan to die. I don’t like Holly but Angela needs to die first lol.

SMH, Goin’ hard today!
Angela is the worse…she’s worse than Holly.
Tash squashes all of them! I like Kanan, because he keeps the excitement going, but I am so anxious to see what these fools are going to do. I am willing to bounce a check to keep this cable on!
I pictured her saying this while drinking tea from a mug that read “White People’s Tears.” ???
Sometimes the truth hurts, and these ninja’s had to do something to make themselves feel better. LOL! Jesse Williams for President!
You can download the app and pay the 8.99 a month subscription. I can find Power on a free website but I got the app because it’s hard to find survivors remorse. After these 10 episodes, I’m cancelling it lol.
I’m not a fan of those high azz cable prices.
I agree and also with Angela needing to be gone as well. She’s so weak and whiny.
Right. I never gave the show a chance but I might have to now. Lol
Jesse for PRESIDENT!! oh Not Jackson but Williams! !..
BAM! She ain’t playing with yall! ??
Have him fired for what??? Freedom of speech is not a crime last time I checked..
Everything EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT THINGS!!
I want to watch but after 50’s ‘ninja bich’ comment I just can’t support him anymore. This NB ain’t throwing no money his way, and ratings = dollars
One cleans their peen by reinching it off when the sex act is over. The other cleans their peen by boiling it in a pot on the stove.
They don’t mess with him. Jesse did that speech and put some RESPECK on his name. They may not like him but they respect him and before they speak they think about what they gonna say to him, Any other times they just say what they wanna say. He reminded me of Brother Malcolm fearless standing up there,
If that was the case, Bill/Sean and Rush wouldn’t have jobs.
I understand you feeling the way you do. Yes 50 has said some ignant things but I choose to look past him and continue to support the talented cast and show creator Courtney Kemp Agboh.
After that speech, white folks was saying we sure miss OJ he stayed in his place, didn’t give us no trouble or nothing. Let’s start a petition to get him out jail.
Good because if she fires him of gives him less airtime I’m boycotting and you all should too. White Get so afraid when we start talking that black power stuff it’s actually pretty funny
It was Stacy Dash.
Self hating? Sandra, YOU seem like a hater of successful black persons. . . PRESIDENT Obama, First Lady Obama, Shonda Rhimes, Beyoncé. . . The list goes on. Let this lady employ who she wants.
#STRONGBLACKMAN:(#LETTHEMSTAYMAD
I want to start a petition to shut down the website that lists celebrities who have ugly spouses. They have him and his wife as the advertising picture (its the main picture they use for you to click on that site. As a black woman, how insulting, and I know it had to hurt his wife feelings. NOBODY is that tough. How cruel!!!!!!! Now THAT is what need to be petioned, and for the record his wife is lovely.
It’s a really good show I’ve been watching it for 6 years had to catch up from season 1
I’m fighting with myself because I really like the show. Tommy is my favorite character (hated that redhead he was with. She was a liability from the start). I’ve just had enough of 50 and his self loathing. Was my last straw. Maybe if they kill his character off so I don’t gotta see his face anymore.
Oh the #shadeofitall
