Dr. Jackson Avery, at your service!
Jesse Williams has quickly become the most powerful voice for the Black Lives Matter movement, and as such, he’s using that racist petition against him to his advantage.
As you may have heard, many bigoted fans are calling for Jesse’s removal from Grey’s Anatomy — yes, the show created by noted black TV exec Shonda Rhimes — following his powerful BET Awards speech.

Luckily, the 34-year-old activist wasn’t about to let trolls get the best of him over the weekend, tweeting a little shade obviously directed at the petition:
Do not promote empty people & their tantrums. Pure clickbait to gain followers, attention & money, for themselves, not you. Never you.

Spot on, Jess!
But the Shondaland actor wasn’t about to stop there — after The Wrap posted an article pointing out the petition’s growing numbers, Jesse perfectly responded on Twitter, saying:
Because you keep incessantly promoting their cowardly intolerance! Not a single sane sentence in their claim. NotOne https://t.co/18ZgrbfLnL

We couldn’t agree more!
Although, sorry for bringing it up again…
Do U think Grey’s protesters realize how insane they really sound??
