‘This Is Unintellectual and Irresponsible’: Terry Crews Draws Ire of Black Twitter For Warning Folks Against #BlackLivesBetter

Terry Crews was dragged on social media for the second time in a month after he criticized the Black Lives Matter movement on Twitter this week.

The “America’s Got Talent” host posted a message that drew the ire of Twitter on Tuesday, June 30.

Terry Crews was criticized by the likes of Amanda Seales and Bernice King after he posted a critical tweet about the Black Lives Matter movement.

=======================================================================

“If you are a child of God, you are my brother and sister,” he wrote. “I have family of every race, creed and ideology. We must ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn’t morph into #blacklivesbetter.”

Crews’ tweet did not go over well.

“We’re so far from that bridge, Terry,” wrote Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “#BlackLivesMatter is, in part, a rallying cry and a protest slogan to galvanize people into doing the justice work needed to derail the deaths, dehumanization and destruction of Black lives that racism causes. Justice is not a competition.”

I see King’s daughter has gone over to the BLM side if I’m reading this right.

A sane, rational man and a practicing Christian restating
what the Bible says about all this.

From my old stompin’ grounds in Flint, Michigan.
Way to go, Terry! We’re proud of you!

Sounds like Terry is the victim of a high-tech lynching!

"Justice is not a competition"

In true Liberal Projection™ she misspoke the truth. No, justice isn't supposed to be a competition but BLM has made it one.

All those comments about “white supremacy” and “400 years”. What maroons. Where do they get this stuff?

Harvard graduate threatens to stab anyone who says ‘All Lives Matter’ and says for black people the slogan is like ‘comparing a paper cut to a knife wound’

He had no problems with having a white man solve all of their problems.

Not to be confused with King’s niece, Alveda King, a strong Christian pro-life and Trump supporter.

When democrats ran the KKK they used intimidation to frighten people into submission.

Democrats running BLM, antifa and other domestic terrorists use intimation to frighten people into silence. Terry Crews senses the Jim Crow past in this current iteration of democrat thugs.

I would really like to send Terry a note of encouragement, but I’m not going to sign up for social media to do it. I looked at his official home page and the Polaris project, for which he’s an ambassador, but there was no contact info for him. Maybe someone more net-savvy could come up with a way to send him encouragement and we freepers could do just that.
