“Grey’s Anatomy” actor Jesse Williams has had enough of American hypocrisy against Blacks in this country.

The riots have been what’s captivated the media in the last 24-48 hours, unfortunately, while the 10,000 plus peaceful protesters to occupy downtown Baltimore have gone with little coverage.
While the rioters (protestors) have been depicted as animals, violent, thugs, rebels etc, much like the past, Williams would like to share his perspective on the reporting while shedding light on America’s own rebellious history and blatant hypocrisy. Here’s what Williams had to say…
Do you agree or disagree with the actor, why or why not?
