I asked alot of people this and most are not answering.

Would you have supported this statement ?

How about in 1940 Warsaw someone said..

Remember all Aryans are bad and not all Jewish people are good.
And we have to watch out for Jewish Supremacy .

CAN YOU STOP REPOSTING THIS SHIT.

just because you keep copy and pasting shit you cant understand doesnt make it a deep and provoking argument.

There is theorycrafting from just making a gigantic, longwinded, theory based assumption off what Terry Crews said, yes.

Since something not even the size of a short response in high school is "gigantic" for you, I'll dumb it down even more

Jan 2020: Terry Crews hops on TV to go out of his way to back up American's Got Talent instead of Gabrielle Union and witnesses. Couldn't even just say "it's unfortunate it happened", had to go the "I doubt it happened they are very diverse" route.

June 2020: Terry Crews hops on Twitter to randomly tell BLM supporters to not be black supremacists.

Also June 2020: https://globalnews.ca/news/7040596/terry-crews-black-supremacy-tweet/

Also since the entire existence of BLM: people of an oddly common background on social media complaining that BLM is racist because it somehow advocates black supremacy all because it's missing "too" as if that actually would make a difference to them

All of these things happened. Where's the theory? Here's more "theory" taken from his own words

I understand, Tyler. I was not saying Black supremacy exists, because it doesnt. I am saying if both Black and Whites dont continue to work together bad attitudes and resentments can create a dangerous self-righteousness. Thats all, Crews responded to James Williams.

So at best he's just talking to hear himself talk, at worst he's complaining about something that he himself said doesn't exist and people aren't currently doing for ?????????? reason exactly?

Oh crap I realized this was more words than before. Hope you don't revert to "theory" mode halfway through this because there was zero speculation involved

Terry Crews is right. More right than these young ass white kids and blackpeopletwitter.

Terry Crews still tap dancing for massah smh

The only problem here is Terry Crews is commiting wrongthink, which people like OP hate.

I mean black people in america have been killed in large numbers, forced into labor, experimented on. Its not that far off

Did Terry Crews post this or Boogie2988?
---

He's a far cry from Candace Owens, even with recent comments accounted for.

This entire thing highlights to me how polarising the internet is, how much it doesn't allow for nuanced conversation. Terry makes one or two "maybe let's not burn everything down" tweets and suddenly the internet turns on their favourite guy and likens him to the worst of the worst.

---

Terry is the man!

---

of course this is controversial to liberals

---

The issue here is that he's essentially pulling that "both sides" crap and saying safe, feel good shit that won't offend the "All Lives Matter" crowd when really, now is the time to start taking a firm stance against systematic racism, white supremacy and police brutality.

If you combine those tweets with his other suspect tweets, along with his actions and inactions over the last year or so, youd get a bigger picture of why people arent totally buying his shit.

It was a few more than that. What's a ballpark estimate for the number of freebies he's given

It's been a year or so since he's pissed off LBGT folk too by volunteering his super hot takes, so when he says another moronic thing about same sex parents as well in the upcoming months does he get another pass as a former internet favorite

---

Slayer_22 posted...

Because what you're saying is flawed, incorrect, and doesn't hold the same sincerity Terry's tweet did.

It's just...stupid. Honestly. You're just pretending you have a point, when you sound more racist than anyone.

What a crock of a shit. This is the same got damn thing. If you haven't noticed black people are being oppressed in America. And the fact that if you switch out any other race for black people. You say it racist shows just how little you think of black people. It is the got damn same thing.

---

Hes trying to die on a hill he created.

---

I'm not saying he's right guys (he's not). I'm just commenting on the Candace Owens comparison. Yeah the "but both sides" nonsense is tiresome, and it's obvious that the guy is preoccupied with sitting on the fence, but Candace Owens? Nah.

One or Two, it is non stop with this fool. It is funny, when I switch out black people and put in other oppressed groups people say oh that his horrible. But America has gotten so good at down playing racism aimed at black people. A warning about black Supremacy seems logical.

@pinky0926
He used the black on black crime thing that people like her does, and retweeted someone who said BLM is stirring up trouble.

I don't know what groups you're referring to here to be honest, I can't imagine his comment being considered alright with any group...

No I will not stop bringing up, because that is literally what Terry is doing. You are yelling in your post when I doing the same thing to one group that Terry is doing to black people over and over . It is wrong in both situation but people like you think it okay to treat black people that way.

I only read the first couple tweets but Crews didnt say anything wrong. I feel like people are purposefully misrepresenting what hes saying just to start a conflict.

sounds like BLM to me. Im ashamed of BLM. Its become more about insulting people than encouraging meaningful, influential conversations.

---

What hes saying isnt wrong but his tweets are a slap in the face to black peoples intelligence. Like no s*** Terry 98% of us understand what youre saying and understood this before you tweeted it so quit talking down to us like were morons. The 2% that dont wont ever understand and his tweet wont convince them otherwise.

Hes pandering to an audience and I think we all know who that audience is.

No, he technically didn't.

But when the topic of discussion is police brutality and systematic racism, and the only thing you have to say is "Well, shucks, we're all human and there are good and bad people of all races!", it comes across as completely tone-deaf and pandering.

Why is supporting BLM the only viable way to take a stance, though? Shouldn't being against racism and violence while supporting peace and equality be enough? Not everyone thinks in extremes, crazy as that may sound on the internet.

All this comes off as is BLM supporters going "You're either with us or against us!" to a guy who is mostly with them when it comes to goals, but might have a difference in opinion on methods.

You can't in this day in age. If you don't agree with the left you immediately get labeled one thing and the media and friends tell everyone not to listen to your opinion.

You don't have to agree with BLM, just don't say horrible things. People like him are always like .. what about black on black crime.

Relay for life fights cancer , yet more people die of heart illnesses. Should we tell those people they don't really care about life since they are not fighting heart issues ?

Yet this whole BLM exchange with him on Twitter started with him addressing this nonexistent (in his own words shortly thereafter) black supremacist threat which is a pretty extreme take and has evolved to this

And let's not even play into his pathetic clarification gimmick. He's doing it right now, and he's done it before after "consulting" with a LBGT co-star and saying he wasn't insulting same sex parents and was just speaking from his personal experience....even though he doesn't have same sex parents or is in a same sex relationship and was clearly insulting same sex couples raising children.

1. Why is bringing up a potential issue wrong? It might not be a problem now, but who's to say how the future plays out? Are people really only allowed to talk about issues after they've already happened?

2. He commented on a situation he didn't understand very well with anecdotal evidence, and attempted to apologize when it offended people. Again, why is this wrong? Maybe he doesn't research things enough before trying to talk about them, but his heart seems in the right place.

People are butthurt that he isn't fitting their agenda. Its funny how a neutral statement like this gets people so angry. You really can't please everyone.

But who said anything like this?

The real issue here is that he's sitting on the fence so as to not say anything at all that will offend an audience of people that frequently turn a blind eye to racism against blacks.

Because it's a made up black supremacy threat that's nowhere close to happening. He's complaining about some make believe black supremacy movement while BLM is complaining about police brutality and monuments for racists, same story since the literal 60s for both. For anybody who has been living under a rock, police brutality has been a common theme in rap since it existed and it's been a thing since the 70s. Little has changed in decades, so why even entertain his moronic fear mongering take just because in the end he's calling for peace to a threat that he made up himself, to appease a group who like to pretend that threat actually exists so things can remain as they are

I still have nothing but a dead end "I would have been..." surname 2-3 years after taking a fucking DNA test that I still occasionally get emails about but they're always fucking spam and ads...

yeah i have access to my ancestors that may have died in the holocaust i'm way more lucky than you /s

As I have said MULTIPLE times in this topic.

He has had numerous instances where he does not do what he preaches. He ignores a black coworker who reports a hostile workplace in an attempt to placate his superiors.

He has put down non-heterosexual households as inferior to heterosexual households.

He is preaching love and equality. He has given opinions in the very recent past that contradict this whole philosophy of his.

And jumping off of this, black supremacy would never happen in this country because so few black people hold any real power. We haven't even been able to get the police to stop killing us.

Why he feels the need to address that, but not the very real threat of white supremacy that's existed since the country found its independence....I'll let you fill in the rest.

Yeah duh. The issue with the tweets is that its he's trying to bring up a non existent issue to try to get BLM discredited.

#1. Black supremacy can never happen because we only make up 13% of the population. All we want is equality. Thats it.

#2. Most of BLM know that we have white allies. We appreciate and accept them. So saying "Theres good people on both sides" is dumb because we already know that. No one is saying white people are the devil except for the people that have always said that and its not the majority.

#3. As said before in this topic he's never shown the "treat everyone the same" when he's had the chance. He's usually on the wrong side of problems.

#4. The guy was in an episode of Brooklyn 99 where he was powerless as a black man in an encounter with cops and he still doesnt understand what the protest are for

#5. His tweets are creating a BLM boogey man in the same way that fox news tells old white people that BLM and the liberals are coming to get them. His takes arent new and no one necessarily disagrees with that he's saying. Its just not the right time for it.
