He addressed the shooting of Ferguson, MO, teen Mike Brown, insensitive Halloween (http://www.popsugar.com/Halloween) costumes related to violence against black people, and problems with indifference. This isn't the first time the Grey's Anatomy (http://www.popsugar.com/Grey%27s-Anatomy) star has publicly addressed issues like this, as he penned an opinion piece for CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/30/opinion/williams-crawford-walmart-killing/) about police violence this past September. See some of the actor's questions and comments about race below, then check out Jesse's Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/iJesseWilliams) for the rest of his tweets.
Let's say #MikeBrown (https://twitter.com/hashtag/MikeBrown?src=hash) did fight w/ #DarrenWilson (https://twitter.com/hashtag/DarrenWilson?src=hash)- let's say it was worse, HE SHOT UP A THEATER. ** ****** + significant distance = Can't Kill

Of course #MikeBrown (https://twitter.com/hashtag/MikeBrown?src=hash)'s blood is in the car- the cop shot him. Giving him every reason to run. **ne of #DarrenWilson (https://twitter.com/hashtag/DarrenWilson?src=hash)'s blood in the car tho.

With the swell of black death at the hands of cops & vigilantes, I have some genuine questions for this specific segment of the population:

You loud few, relishing in blustery opinion over fact. Lurking in a**nymity, unable to survive outside the lazy comfort of

of conclusions drawn long ago, unencumbered by the inconvenient realities of actual information.

When "men" violently assault women, your reaction is never "Well, girls hit girls all the time." That would be repugnant. Consider why.

Why do so many of you reflexively defend, identify w/, and antagonize on behalf of whiteness whenever blackness is involved?
— jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) October 28, 2014 (https://twitter.com/iJesseWilliams/status/527193322146648064)
You don't feel compelled to justify every thing done by everyone who happens to be straight or male or right-handed. So why whiteness?

What about black pain is so fun to you? From where is that joy derived?

When #Halloween (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Halloween?src=hash) comes around, how exactly does dressing as Trayvon and other illustrations of black pain, make you feel? Please be specific.

We don't reflexively celebrate random or routine white death, make memes of your bleeding corpses, etc. Tell us about this unique obsession.

Millions of you smile in awe of our music, comedy, inventions, athletics, fashion, etc. but when we're **t entertaining you, you hate us?

How is the fact that police are killing 400 people a year **t worthy of investigation and remedy?

Blackness has never been a threat to whiteness. Whiteness has always actively threatened blackness. This is **t a matter of opinion.

White people have played a crucial role in nearly every social justice movement in this country. Indifference is **t your duty or heritage.

You need **t carry the heavy, hollow burden of racism any longer. Leave it behind. Be for something, and **t because it's easy.
