It's sad to know this is the speech that caused people to start a petition to get him removed from "Grey's Anatomy." He's speaking the absolute truth! Please remember that it is not a crime or offensive to voice outrage concerning social injustices like racial discrimination. Anyone who thinks it is undoubtedly is racist, prejudice, etc., and they want oppression to continue. If we want things to change, we must continue to speak up and take action. Any friends or acquaintances you lose in the process were never for you anyway.

Yeah, I didn't realize until after I finished the video that it was originally from 2016. Although I did get tripped up a bit when he mentioned Tamir Rice's age! 😅🤦‍♀️ lol Should've realized right then that the speech was from a while ago. I just realized Tamir would've just turned 19 a couple days ago on June 25. Boy might've been in his 2nd year of college, if that's the route he decided to take and was available to him. His life was cut way too short. And all for the crime of just being a child while black. 😞 And it breaks my heart as well that a video on police brutality and the unwarranted executions of black and brown people that was made *FIVE* *YEARS* *AGO* is still just as applicable today. And that, honestly, if not for that Tamir Rice comment, could have been made yesterday. We still have a loooong way to go in this country, unfortunately. 😔 But Derek Chauvin was just sentenced for his *murder* of George Floyd, and I can only hope that as more police officers are held accountable for their undue assaults and killings of American citizens, and _especially_ POCs, others in the future will pause before pulling the trigger or will stop kneeling on someone's neck after only 29 seconds instead of, you know, *9* *minutes* *&* *29* *seconds* (or better yet, just don't kneel on them at all!). And slowly but surely there has been some progress in a few jurisdictions with Defunding the Police, but there are still way too many with too much money and power without nearly the accountability.

“We will have equal rights in this country, or we will restructure their function and ours”. After many, many, MANY peaceful protest years prior-to no avail- we the people got tired of the same BS. And now, with some patience- and muscle- things are starting to slowly change for the better. Police profiling and brutality has to end. It is not right for them to say that they “protect and serve” when that only applies to someone white and not of color. We have souls too, we have dreams too, we bleed the same, we love the same. We just want to breathe. Enough is enough. Let’s make change happen for the better. For our children. For our future.

Amazing. My son is going to learn this speech by heart. Just so he can understand what he is saying. Well said Brother, well said. Thank you 🙏

I had cotton buds in my ears when I heard this, I felt it, but I didn't understand it, after reading a book called White Fragility: Why its so hard for white people to talk about race. EVERYTHING that Jessie said I've heard in the first three chapters and I am mortified. I had an existential and philosophical breakdown because (why I never this, I don't know why, my dad never taught me this) Dr Robin DiAngelo talked about what Racism is "That it is a system and not an event" It is so heartbreaking to see how fabricated and manipulated we have been. I honestly question why Martin Luthor King marched for integration, if they didn't want us fcking there, why badger to be inside it. We should have set up our own schools, our own banks, and our own education system. I'm sorry if i've offended anyone, but until you read into this topic and specifically read this book that i'm talking about, then I don't want to hear your opinion.

Uncovering means knowing a dystopia you can’t ever fully comprehend but knowing we as the white collective build and sustain racist systems and ideas is nothing short of horrifying.

POWERFUl. I love seeing all these other black celebrities watching this and feeling it. Samuel L Jackson looked like he was about to tear up. Jamie fox is feeling the fire. Deon Cole. All of them. This is so powerful and i wish more people heard this.

This is so inspiring. The layers of social and historical references are key to understand. His speech implores listeners for a call to action of change. "...critique of our oppression.." is an important sentence because it talks about the systematic racism within the U.S.

This popped in My Head and had to come back to this in 2020 when Jesse William's spat out this Powerful Speech in 2016....*Just because We are Magic doesnt mean Were not real*..
