Actor Jesse Williams: Trump Supporters Told ‘People of Color Are the Problem,’ ‘It’s Really Old Rich Oligarchs’

‘It’s petulant children that are just kind of cloaking themselves in all they have left which is whiteness’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ROBERTS: "The president has take up on a powerful community in terms of pro athletes that are role models that are being asked to pick a side right now. Do you think that that's fair for say just regular -- they're not regular, I mean, they're let's athletes. But do you feel that people need to be more vocal at a time like this or can people get by just doing their jobs?"
WILLIAMS: "Well, I think, you know, those are two questions and two important ones. I think it's comical to me this is the same thing that happens with the so-called blue lives matter crowd where you're saying not to protest and the thing they're protesting doesn't exist but if you're going to protest this is how I would prefer you to protest even though you have done those preferable forms of protest we've objected. We're silent. And then they protest our protest with the protest protesting the fact that we can't protest. It's a joke. It's petulant children that are just kind of cloaking themselves in all they have left which is whiteness and trump supporter, you know, they're being hustled. They're told to believe that people of color are the problem when it's really old rich oligarchs."
