Jesse Williams steals the 2016 BET Awards

The BET Awards aired last night and Jesse Williams was one of the few entertainers that's stole the night. Williams is an American Actor known for his role for in the television series Greys Anatomy. Last night he was awarded the Humanitarian Award for his different contributions outside of his career. It wasn't his great acting skills that stole the show. It was the words that he spoke during his acceptance speech that made him a trending topic on social media last night and this morning. USA today reports "Jesse Williams takes racism to task in powerful BET Awards speech". Check out the speech below and share your comments! What did you think?

I personally applaud Jesse for not only avoiding the generic speech that many say but speaking on a topic that is so HOTT in this day and age. On my short time on this Earth I've witnessed the effects of when a person takes a stand and speaks out on injustices. Many will support and join that one person for taking the lead. Many will hate and despise that person. But, what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong and it's safe to say we as black people have been getting treated wrong too many times! Something must be done and Jesse Williams did something. Cheers to you brother!
