Jesse Williams’ inflammatory speech at the BET Awards last week has sparked a Change.org petition calling for him to be fired from Grey’s Anatomy.
“Jesse Williams spewed a racist, hate speech against law enforcement and white people at the BET awards,” the petition’s creator, Erin Smith, writes.
Williams, a former history teacher, made the speech on June 26 as he accepted a humanitarian award at the BET Awards for his role in the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
As for Williams, he tweeted Sunday urging fans not to promote “pure clickbait.”
