Jessie Williams x Philando Castile

I just read that too,---that was so fckd up---and he only got stopped because of a taillight---that's so fckd up. But, you know the racists are still gonna find some way to justify his death, even though he told the officer that he was legally carrying a gun.

I know it's early, but there seems no reason for this shooting to have occurred.

Yep, you bet he is. He's making it seem that black men are killed in disproportionate numbers by the police, when in fact the statistics do not back that up. What you're seeing is the effect of the media. When a white cop kills a black man, it generates a vastly disproportionate media response since they know that's what sells. Ever heard of Gilbert Collar, the 18 year old unarmed student in Alabama who was killed by a black cop? Of course you haven't. Heard of David Kassick, the unarmed white man killed in Pennsylvania by a cop after having been tased and lying face down on the ground? Of course not.

Notice how the buzz surrounding the shooting death of Delrawn Small by an off-duty cop has died down immensely? Why? Well, because it turns out the off-duty cop was black.

Jesse Williams is a hypocrite who falsely portrays police brutality as a problem only affecting black people, when in fact it affects us all. So far as I can tell at present, the shootings of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling show disgraceful police violence, just as in the far lesser publicized cases of David Kassick and Gilbert Collar (because they're white, obviously). Cops who shoot people they've already subdued (Sterling) or who are pretty obviously defenseless (Castile) deserve to be excoriated and put behind bars. However, morons like Jesse Williams inflame racial tensions because they choose to make some lives matter more than others, and people don't like that hypocrisy.

ccr1633 just said that. You should really read the posts, c-r-hinton30, before reacting to them.

There are a lot of ill-prepared, badly trained, emotionally unbalanced bordering on hysterical officers that are being sent out into society. How else could one describe a situation of a man, Castile, sitting in his own car, not threatening or attacking an officer at all, and yet having bullets pumped into his body as if he is not even human? It's unbearable. It's disgusting. And yet it keeps happening over and over again. 

No, Jesse didn't make a thing up. If people rage at his message, then that is on them, not him. The truth can't be blocked out and silenced. Black people are continuing to die. Their lives are held in contempt by their murderers. We need more people like JW to speak out loudly and passionately against these un-American, anti-Black crimes.

@lavenderspirit2005

I must say you are quite delusional. I cant tell what race you are in your profile picture. Are you even black? Question: How come black people like Jesse never speak out on the holocaust that is black on black crime. Wait I know the answer. It wouldn't help feed his racist ant-white agenda. Jesse is pure, self hating and pretentious scum with a message of hate. 2 things I did like about his speech though is. When he said "Yo" like he is trying to talk like a black person even though he doesn't even look like one. And the whole "Sit Down" thing. I think he really felt like some kind of badass

I personally, if I was there I wouldn't have stood up in the first place so there would be no need for me to sit down.
