Does he live in a white neighborhood?


Beyonce came to the Super Bowl to exhibit her "blackness" and then ran home to her South Hampton. Long Island home which is in basically an all white neighborhood. With all his privilege, does Jesse also live in a white neighborhood?

What difference does it make if he lives in a 'white neighborhood?' He's still a black man. The area he lives in doesn't make him 'less black.' He shouldn't have to prove his blackness to you or anyone else.

He brought up cultural appropriation, so I was wondering if he is immersed in white culture by living in a white neighborhood or if he lived in a black neighborhood.

You can bet everything you own that Jesse Williams doesn't live in a black housing project on the south side of Chicago. He's a hypocrite. A real statement would be dropping himself and his family at ground zero for black inner city violence in Detroit, Chicago, Brooklyn, wherever, and pushing for his social justice right there. But he won't because he's a hypocrite who just likes the spotlight and the perception that he's down with the cause.

As Rudyard Kipling once said the humanitarian is always a hypocrite.
