Jesse Williams says There is nothing ‘black’ about rioting
Jesse William’s Twitter Feed has a little bit to say about the riots in Baltimore over the death of 25-year-old Freddie Grey. His twitter feed of late has been like an essay on race relations and the police. I say go for it you are on point Jesse Williams.
If you are not concerned about policing in America, what is wrong with you? Talk about oblvious…
If you don’t actually care about Black people having equal protection under the law, why are you making suggestions to those who do?

1 group can burn & loot when a team scores less points than another but when paid public servants kill citizens, we gotta be BaggerVance? — jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) April 28, 2015
Where are all the think pieces & coverage of the pathology of white culture every time white frustration vents violence & destruction?

There is nothing “black” about rioting. How do you think we got all this land? — jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) April 28, 2015
Historically riots have been tools for intimidation; destroying populations, taking land & valuables. #BlowingOffSteam #BoysWillBeBoys

Whites rioted throughout the early 1900s, slaughtering, burning & looting entire thriving black townships, just because of the adjective. — jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) April 28, 2015
You’ve watched hulking bullies w/ badges, robes & money brutalize, kill & cage human beings every yr of your entire lives & said nothing.
