jessie williams rant about how white people are garbage


I and many others will be boycotting this movie because of Jessie Williams rant about how all white people are garbage.

Whiney white boy's tantrum was sadder and more dangerous than Fathers Day in a black neighborhood. Ungrateful boy needs to SIT DOWN.

Zero accountability, can't empower his people, HAS to blame whitey. When will the black community stop acting like children? When will we have to stop being their providers, nannys and babysitters?

I've been a supporter of black artists for 30 years. Some of my favorite, most inspiring musicians were black. After hearing this guy race-bait, play victim, try to blame whites for everything from "appropriation" to creating and profiting off of thug culture (apparently black hip hop artists aren't cashing the checks, I take it?) I deleted my 50+ gigs of hip hop I've been collecting since the 80's. Tossed my DVDs of black filmmakers in the trash. I'll never give a dime towards a black film, album, or any charity again. I'm done with 'em.

If I see one broken down on the side of the road, sorry, I can't be bothered.
If I see one who needs help? Sorry, I have to get back home to my laundry.
If I see a black film I want to see; sorry, I'll be torrenting that and sharing it with my friends.
When it's time for a new hire; sorry, that position was already filled.

My dear Mexican-Americans, you'll get whatever I can give towards your proud and loving race from now on; through cultural and artist support. You people have done so much for our country and my state. I'm really appreciating what an empowered and beautiful culture you have.

Together we can move forward and let the lost children fall to the wayside.

I know it's hurtful to be hated because of the color of your skin and generalized about and targeted when you've done nothing wrong. And I know that rich people with opportunities like Jessie Williams don't seem to have even earned the right to have any reason to feel that deep sense of hate and scorn..
But what are you doing but more of the same?

You, too, are generalizing about an entire group of people that may not feel the same way he(and others like him) do.

If you don't like his behavior then don't emulate it and be brave enough to take people as individuals without prior judgement.
Do something that he can't do.

And consider all the black people that have been judged and targeted, just like Jessie does, based on the color of their skin.

Nobody wins when we don't all set ourselves apart from this kind of thinking. One person...or several people...do not represent all colors, ethnicities, genders etc.

If you want to boycott this individuals movie that's one thing. But he does not represent his entire race. Do not blame the entire race. Isn't that what he's doing?

Remember terrorists? That's the simplistic way that they think.

Good luck with that. Must suck to be victimized like that! Maybe some day white people will have all the same advantages that minorities enjoy. Until then, fight the good fight! Justice for whites!

What an idiot he is. Yet he lives in a country founded by 'White' (European) people, and also uses their inventions (like the cellphone, computer, car, airplane etc.)

Goodness! Where are the movie reviews? Such profound ignorance. Please dont say you support a race or country as if you are doing some huge favour. Judge individuals. I doubt that black people need or want babysitting. Plus I do believe a lot of inventors are black, asian and are represented by all races.
The film was ok imo. Sometimes I felt it to be a little rushed but overall deserving of 5/10.
