Fire Jesse?

A group of people have petitioned to have Jesse Williams fired from his role on "Grey's Anatomy" because they think what he said was racist and spoke of hate speech against law enforcement.

How do you feel about what he said?  Did he cross the line or are these petitioners butt-hurt because he told them like it was?

There was also fallout from Justin Timberlake tweeting about Jesse's speech.  He mentioned how inspired he was by it and "Black Twitter" lit into him.  Were they wrong to roast him about trying to fit in or were they right about him just looking for some good pub?

Lastly, Mr. Steal Your Grandma is Irvin Randle.  A Houston elementary school teacher who has taken the internet by storm over the past couple of weeks.  The 54 year old had no idea that his stylish photos would result in so much attention.  But it's not all good attention.  We'll discuss the haters who have reared their ugly heads tonight!

Should she be deported?

Should her scholarship be revoked?

Or should we just say, "you got me" and allow her to live the American dream?

The march on Washington was over 50 years ago.  So much progress has been made towards equality since then.  At what point is Affirmative Action not needed?  How close to the end of AA are we or will we always need it?
