Terry Crews has chosen a hill to die on. It's not a hill that would normally be controversial, but in the year 2020 everything seems to have a political bent to it. Crews tweeted the fact that there are bad eggs in every race - including white and black. But he will be friends with anyone of any color if they are simply kind people. What he ultimately wants, is harmony.
And the actor says he's received "threats" for voicing that reasonable opinion.
Are all white people bad?
No.
Are all black people good?
No.
Knowing this reality- I stand on my decision to unite with good people, no matter the race, creed or ideology.
Given the number of threats against this decision-
I also decide to die on this hill.— terry crews (@terrycrews) July 4, 2020
"It's an overly simplified message that fails to acknowledge the reality of prejudice in society," one critic said.
Others just called Crews cruel names such as the "n" word, "Uncle Tom" or "Uncle Terry."
He had been fielding hateful messages for a few weeks. In early June he tweeted his first "controversial" statement about the state of race relations in America, suggesting that activists not be so hostile toward white people.
Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth.
Like it or not, we are all in this together.— terry crews (@terrycrews) June 7, 2020
People called him "ignorant." But unlike so many other celebrities bullied into apologizing for harmless remarks, he refused to apologize for his message. In fact, he's continued to share his common sense, albeit unpopular, sentiments.
"If you are a child of God, you are my brother and sister. I have family of every race, creed and ideology," he wrote on the Fourth of July. "We must ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn’t morph into #blacklivesbetter."
BLM activists and supporters condemned Crews for "missing the point" about their movement. One woman said Crews was "developing into an enemy of the people." Another called him "worthless" and said that white people can "have" him. But Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson came to the actor's defense, likening Crews's words to those of Martin Luther King, Jr.
"What did he advocate for? A color-blind society," Carson said on Fox News. "He said 'I dream of a time when people will be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.'"
Crews didn't apologize then, and he certainly won't apologize now.
The Marxists cannot tolerate the thought that ALL Whites are not bad. It makes the decision about which ones to put into Concentration/Death camps much more complicated.
Terry Crews is going to win. There is a limited shelf life for groupthink, it’s a bubble, and bubbles pop. Anyone caught when the music stops, left or right, is going to look irrational.
Crews is a brave man. He’s put it on the line and the tolerance mafia wants his head now.
This mob wants blood. They have a lust for it and they are completely evil to the core.
I’m not familiar with this actor, but I can tell he’s a stand-up guy. It would have been prudent and easy for him to keep his mouth shut. Good man.
This isn’t about race or past injustices, this is about The Democrat Party and elections.
Never heard of him, but he seems like a decent guy.
RE: Never heard of him, but he seems like a decent guy.
He’s currently the EMCEE/HOST of AMERICA’s GOT TALENT.
Crews played as a defensive end and linebacker in the National Football League (NFL), for the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, and Washington Redskins, as well as in the World League of American Football (WLAF).
Too bad that so many failed to heed the "content of character" admonition.
I stand with Mr Crews.
What a contrast to cowards like LeBron James.
I find it amazing that these ignorant BLM goons can accuse Mr. Cruz of being ignorant. ....something about “wrestling with pigs” comes to mind.
“..... Free at last! Free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”
...... it is important to understand what MLK was referring to when issuing the proclamation. What exactly are we seeking to be free from? IMHO the answer is to be from ignorance and hatred, envy and greed.
“ The Marxists cannot tolerate the thought that ALL Whites are not bad. ”
..... the Marxist don’t believe any of what they preach. It is but One of many tools used to divide us against each other. Their agenda is power, Never forget that.
Nothing good ever comes of hate, except the hate of sin and injustice.
God Bless Terry Crews!
