Viola never disappoints with her speeches
AfroAngola nope never!
NEVER
AfroAngola 👍🏾
@Rodney Norman I saw that too! Hope it wasn't #intentional!
A phenomenal woman who is unapologetically black.
Such an inspiration ❤
@Ribb Rotgut just like talking about racism is poison and if we stop mentioning it it will just go away? Ok
@@stacihilliard3761 what about racism among your own kind called colorism?
@@JD-zd8tm what about?
@@stacihilliard3761 What about? You do a great job of self-denigration as a race . It's just easier for you to blame whites still when blacks have more opportunity today than ever before yet nothing will ever be good enough for you. You'll never amount to anything because of your own mental prisons
She is so beautiful. And I don't just mean her looks. Even what comes out of her mouth when she speak from her heart is beauuuuuuuutiful. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
H Lee jr... totally agree with you... she makes me proud everytime she opens her mouth as a black woman💜
Her Heart is #Beautiful
H Lee jr so true.
yes
Yes I agree just an beautiful person... 💞✊
When a woman had enough. I can't decide which is most beautiful her or her speech.
Her speech is her
Say that and she is classy when she does it
That truth OMG
Electric.
Nice comment, but they really know better and know by truth but refuse to give up any white privilege and comfort. That's a problem we, black people, have to be solve despite them and the odds.
@@williestandley8286 Blacks should take steps to facilitate ways to capture and keep more of the money Blacks spend in the economy. Notice that every other group can come into Black neighborhoods and make money in them except Black people. Blacks have to become more than consumers on a wider scale and begin to do business with each other routinely. This is but a part of the solution.
Auntie V didn't come to play! We love u Queen 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The most powerful group of people in this world are Black Women. All praise our true Queens.
DROP THAT MIC MS. VIOLA 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Viola Davis is a gift. Such a phenomenal human.
Viola Davis.....What can I say beside I love this beautiful black woman. This speech was everything. If you make people uncomfortable you are doing something right!!! You should get an OSCAR for this speech!!! We love you Viola.
If this world is fair, Viola will get nominated to the Oscar AGAIN next year for her brilliant work in the movies "Widows". :)
I have to see that movie and "boy erased" she's an amazing actor.
This world is NOT fair.... ESPECIALLY for Black people!
Wellington Oliveira That Movie was offensive, this is probably her Fuck You to it, She on a whole new wave now, Her own production company
She showed who she was before any of that
"Fences". But I hated her in "Doubt" and will never forget her in "The Help".
I dropped everything I was doing cause when Viola speaks, you better _damn well_ listen 🌝
Sometimes she doesn't have to speak. Lol but like you said you better pay attention!
Anen
Amen!
She's E.F Hutton.
she a good actress
Not a lie told. They weren't ready for that level of realness.
They got schooled today. 😎
Teach Mrs Davis....Teach
"They " ??? LOL Niggas will always come in last . You really think Viola Davis cares about you? All y'all niggas who find success in the white world go move to the rich white neigborhoods because even they know niggas be crawlin' through your windows at night in da hood
Where is Gina Rodriguez....somewhere critiquing her speech...forgetting her grandmother has African flowing through that... blood...
She took them to school, but are they learning?
@@JD-zd8tm what are you talking about, you, your family, and everyone like you are nigga's.
JD
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
God created the universe not white man. Stealing doesn’t mean ownership. Thy shall not steal. Exodus 20:15
If a lie is repeated for a very long period of time, people will start believing the lie.
Unto thy seed for ever.-Like other skin diseases, leprosy is hereditary. If it be thought that the sentence is too strong, it should be remembered that the prophet is really pronouncing inspired judgment upon the sin of Gehazi, and milder language might have produced erroneous impressions. Covetousness and lying are never spared in Scripture, and it is well for mankind that it is so. (Comp. Acts 5)
I king 5:27
The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
Apparently, nothing has changed. You still don’t care to obey God’s laws. You still continuously showing hatred at any given time.
This speech was amazing; makes you think and recognize what we all need in the business. Viola is deserving of all accolades, always have been a fan of hers.
She’s gorgeous and her speeches always inspire. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love the Formation background music cuz They Knew! She was bout to SLAYYY!!.... And can I say that's one proud Afro Crown upon her head... I love her.
I absolutely love Viola Davis...this lady is my standard of beauty. She exudes Black Excellence....she is so unapologetic and it’s inspiring!
Viola Davis is a force of nature...THE force of nature that Hollywood needs to heed in order to finally see itself for the fundamentally flawed, superficial world that it is. AND to see the authentic, inclusive, respectful world that it could be. Bravo.
D LG Well Written!
Her speeches are iconic.
This is the real shit! Love it!!!
@Sheryl Brown ....Oui
Not one wasted word and an intensity that still resonates in my mind. I would love to learn from her first hand.
SEE - THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU VIOLA...Unapologetic! Authentic! Passionate! Beautiful! Full of love and definitely on purpose!
I saw her for the first in-person when she was at The Kennedy Center in a production of August Wilson's KING HEDLEY II. I am not a fan - I AM a ‘student’ of her work and since a long-time follower of her career and its trajectory.
Y’all don’t even know - this woman is a BRILLIANT actor…Incomparable - SO PLEASE STOP COMPARING HER TO OTHER PEOPLE. SHE IS IN A CLASS ALL BY HERSELF!
LOVE LOVE LOVE NOTHING BUT LOVE.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amen Fam
Beautiful black women! Her skin is as smooth as silk. Black women celebrate your beauty!
Viola Davis is magic.
I’m in tears!!! All I can say is I’m Proud of her!!!!!!!!
“ Don’t let anybody tell u who you are!”👏🏾Amazing Ms Davis👑
This was so phenomenally powerful. What an orator. Well said, Viola.
Go Viola! Go!!!! ✊🏾👏🏾✊🏾👏🏾✊🏾
The best speech I've ever seen out of Hollywood.
😳😳😳😲😲😲😲 VIOLAAAAAAA GIRLLLLLLL WOWWWWW😳😳😳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😲😲😲😲
Her skin is FLAWLESS!!!!!😍😍😍
She just made me so proud to be black ✊🏿
Damn. She will always be one of my favorite actors, and favorite people on Earth.
DITTO!
Love you Viola. Women Who Run With Wolves is an awesome book and one that should be read by all women.
When every word is a lesson and never a waste YOU MUST LISTEN WITH YOUR NOTEBOOK. I AM. Thank you my IDOL. YOU SPOKE!!!!!!! WHAT A WORD!
I love you Viola. A real definition of the black woman.
This was priceless and a call to arms. Impeccable on all levels.
We must write our own stories, tell our own truths, and not fear people who dont know you, dont want to know you. This isnt only Hollywood's story. This is America's story. This watering down of melinated people crosses every single genre of life. Are we tired yet? It's time we get to work on creating our own. That's our assignments. Thank you Queen Viola🙌🏽
“Don’t let anyone tell you who you are” -Viola Davis
Amazing woman. Each speech is more eloquent and inspiring than the last
What a speech ,what a woman ...Thank you for standing up for us .👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If this speech don’t awaken something in your spirit 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 thank you Mrs Davis!!
VIOLA CAME THROUGH!!!👑👑👑👑
OMG, THAT WAS A VERY POWERFUL SPEECH. VIOLA DAVIS IS A BLACK GIRL THAT ROCKS,, I LOVE HER.
what does skin color have to do with anything you fucking moron?
@@stevedonahue7956 EVERYTHING
@@lindastaves5042 that makes you a racist then....cant see anybody for who they truly are....just see color...
@@stevedonahue7956 you should probably look up the definition of racist. You should also listen to her speech. She is distinctly revealing the truth of the complexities of being black in HER particular line of work. Regardless of what you think, she's discussing racial injustices in HER workplace. So the answer to your question, what does race, or color have to do with it, is again EVERYTHING.
@@lindastaves5042 give me a break....if she wasn't black and a female she wouldn't even have an acting job
She meant what she said and quite frankly she's RIGHT ON ALL LEVELS!!
This speech was everything!
Spoken from the heart of hearts. Sentiments unveiled... I pray for my bold sister's safety and protection... TRUTH evokes evil.
BRAVO VIOLA... BRAVO!!!
We want to be seen and heard. Thank you so much for speaking the truth. I truly felt her heart and her pain. Speak our truth. Thanks thanks thanks!!!😘😘😘
Powerful!! I love you Viola Davis! Melanated Women are so Beautiful!

Wow what a speech. Viola is the ultimate inspiration.
She's so good she absolutely slayed that speech so so freakin good❣😍❣
Viola spoke the truth
Phenomanal, phenomenal, phenomenal woman! Thats her/me/us!!!🌟💯💓👑 Kudos Queen V!! I love yooouuuuuuu!
Such an intelligent and profound woman, beyond her shallow peers and past the point of maintaining the status quo. Thanks you Ms. Davis for your being uncompromising.
she's everything and more!
I like her accent full of courage and confident
The FIRST ONE that goes through the CUT OF GLASS, gets the MOST CUTS.... all of it its POWERFUL and it speaks VOLUME and TRUTH. and indeed she DROP THE MIC......
Right on, right on sister Viola, you atomized that mic massive respect seen.
I love this Sista! First time ever I saw her in Antoine Fisher i was watching a Goddess, and I knew it. I'm So happy she said what she said how she said it. WE ALL HEARD IT...DID ALL UNDERSTAND IT?
Brother that's the first time I ever saw her too n I left the theatre thinking to myself who the hell was it that played his mother.
Ms.Viola Davis is a force to be reckoned with. I remember seeing her in various rolls over the years, and every character was played, to the letter. She has earned her way, on every level, on any part she played it came to its execution. To me, Ms. Davis has an amazing way of enlightening the character to her audience, there is nothing she leaves on the plate, we get it all If you see this Ms. V, let me say" you are a bad ass" again a force to be reckoned with. From your delivery of the character you play, or the woman who you are, she who walks as you and those eloquent, mesmerizing and sacredness of your words mean to me, that you Ms.V are phenomenal, phenomenal woman that's you. GOD bless
Whhoooo thank you Viola you slayyyyed!!!!! I love you 💕❤️😘 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽✌🏾✌🏾🙏🏾
Preach Viola, Preach!
A landmark speech.
Undoubtedly the most powerful speech ever made in Hollywood.
It was unapologetic and clear. I think if there was a deaf person their ears would have popped open, it was an ear-opening speech. I think up till now she had made herself visible. Here she made herself audible.
You are AMAZING!
WONDERFUL SPEECH.
I love this woman. She is SUCH a fine actress, and this speech is a GEM!!!!!!!!
Every word resonated. We are amazing just being our authentic selfs.
I love Viola Davis Soooo much. I do believe it started with something as simple as daring to wear her natural hair, which is beautiful. She just had enough of hiding any portion of who she is as a black woman. And that small step of wearing her natural hair on national television has culminated into this "No Bullshit" mind set. It's about loving and accepting who you are and not allowing anyone's expectations of you to block your shine on the world. I can feel that... Roll On Sis!!... DO YOUR THING!!! 😘 ✊✊✊👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Viola for being willing to be the first one through the glass. I’m in tears. I appreciate your heart and your wisdom.
OMGoodness.... My Tears Cried!!!!!
Brava, Miss Viola! 😃😃😃😃😃
Mic adequately dropped 🎤🔥✊🏾
Okay, lemme mark my calendar coz Viola just made history.
Love you Viola Davis! You are the Truth, Thank you!
That melanin is breathtaking.
Always fantastic. I love her
Some of them don't even get it!.....Go Viola it took a lot of guts to get up there and give a powerful speech like this!!!!!
OMGOODNESS!! This brought tears to my eyes. What an AMAZING speech!
Amen!! That whole speech was powerful. You have to love her wild or you have to leave her be!! That was the truth!!!
WOW! What powerful, truthful, amazing, honest, chilling, Right on, Spot on, Beautifully said, I absolutely adore this Beautiful Black Woman. Keep On Rolling Sista!
Wow!!!!! Just Wow!!!! Go head, Viola!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾😁😆

IF YOU DON'T KNOW NOW YOU KNOW
Bravo, Viola! You are using your platform wonderfully! Yes, there is so much richness in telling stories in a REAL way and allowing diverse and multifaceted characters to come alive on screen.
