The petition which was started by Eric Williams on Change.org asked to have actor/activist Jesse Williams fired from the show Grey's Anatomy stating his speech at the BET awards was "racist" and a "hate speech" against law enforcement and white people at the BET awards.
The petition, has garnered about 2,000 signatures
The petition states:
"Jesse Williams spewed a racist, hate speech against law enforcement and white people at the BET awards. If this was a white person making the same speech about an African American, they would have been fired and globally chastised, as they should be, but there has been no consequences to Williams’ actions. There’s been no companies making a stand against his racist remarks and no swift action condemning his negative attitude. Why was Burke’s character fired from Grey’s Anatomy after his inappropriate homophobic slur, but nothing for Jesse Williams? Why the one-way street? Why the support for a hater? Why the hypocrisy? #AllLivesMatter All humans bleed the same color. #EqualConsequences4RacistBehavior”
A counter-petition has over 17,000 signatures.
