Jesse Williams, probably best known for his role as Dr. Jackson Avery on Grey’s Anatomy, has long been outspoken about racism in the U.S. He spoke out eloquently when Trayvon Martin was killed and again when the Ferguson riots erupted as a result of the death of Michael Brown.

Now Jesse Williams is sharing his thoughts on racism again–this time, of course, pertaining to the riots in Baltimore, following the murder of 25-year-old Freddie Gray.

In a series of Tweets–18 of them, Williams makes it clear he is nearly as enraged by the hypocrisy of the mainstream coverages of the Baltimore riots as he is by the acts of violence.

Jesse Williams isn’t just an actor. He’s a former teacher. Readers will learn something–likely a lot–by reading his thoughts as posted on Twitter.

If you don't actually care about Black people having equal protection under the law, why are you making suggestions to those who do?

What are the critical elements that constitute a "riot" and when do riots offend you?

If we view rioting as a mass temper tantrum expressed through violence & property damage, white sports fans do that monthly. #Tradition

1 group can burn & loot when a team scores less points than another but when paid public servants kill citizens, we gotta be BaggerVance?

Where are all the think pieces & coverage of the pathology of white culture every time white frustration vents violence & destruction?

There is nothing "black" about rioting. How do you think we got all this land?

Historically riots have been tools for intimidation; destroying populations, taking land & valuables. #BlowingOffSteam #BoysWillBeBoys

Whites rioted throughout the early 1900s, slaughtering, burning & looting entire thriving black townships, just because of the adjective.

You've watched hulking bullies w/ badges, robes & money brutalize, kill & cage human beings every yr of your entire lives & said nothing.

So Exactly What Kind Of Violence Don't You Like?

— jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) April 28, 2015

Police & policies have been rioting on our bodies; destroying people & property every single day of your lives. But here you come…

— jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) April 28, 2015

…When the beaten, marinated in centuries of trauma, pain & distress, manage to muster a response, here you come, squealing; revealing.

You seem to really hate when people do "things that aren't helping" like contextualizing issues based on empirical evidence. #UghTheWorst!

— jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) April 28, 2015

Things that "aren't helping" happen every single day though, which means you've had a million opportunities to research & contribute. #But

You have so much to say, yet we've never seen you out here you before. Who shows up after the event & criticizes the audience's reaction?

— jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) April 28, 2015

So tell me again, what kind of violence it is that you detest? I keep forgetting. ToWhom? FromWhom? HowOften? For how long? InOrderToWhat?

— jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) April 28, 2015

The reaction to oppression has always been spun & marketed as validation for the status quo.

— jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) April 28, 2015

Notice how the party slogan, no matter the font or cleche, always boils down to #NeverChange.
