Current Events > What did you think of Terry Crews' recent controversial comments?

(+) Yeah! (+)

iirc the one where he talked about blm and black supremacy or something like that.

---

he needs to go back to sleep

---

I think it was meant to be an inclusive statement rather than one which is at odds with black empowerment.

Racial homogeneity breeds an inflated sense of self-importance and a distrust for others. When you're around Black, White, Asian, and Latini all the time, people are people and everyone's equal. When it's all White, all Black, all Asian, etc., you wind up with people thinking they're the best and everybody else ain't shit.

Nothing good comes of saying "just us" no matter who "us" is.

That's all he was getting at. Anyone who thinks isolationism is okay can fuck right off and deserves to be surrounded by neighbors of whatever group they're most bigoted toward.

---

I think it was a clumsily worded statement for an idea that conceptually I think most people would agree with.

Anyone who cares about this more than a passing thought is either purposely or accidentally clogging the channels that other more important conversation need to be using right now

Yup. If someone thinks Terry Crews has malicious intent with his tweet, they're an idiot. Just like he's kind of an idiot for not catching himself lol

Yeah, Twitter really can jump on you for the slightest thing you might say. I got a few idiots telling me "Uh, you're not special, everyone's essential" when I said I was an essential worker.

For years I've taken the stance that the real problem with society is that the institution of "race" is holding us back from actual progress but saying that always felt poisonous because way too many people are attached to racial identity to see things that way.

It's like a "treat the symptom, not the cause" situation. Humanity won't actually take the step it really needs to change but is in a constant battle with the kinds of ills that it produces.

It was a great statement. Very unifying. Anybody hating on it is crazy.

yeah maybe he just misspoke etc........and then when someone misspeaks they want to like execute him for it or something, obv. i'm exaggerating but still

The way some people talk on Twitter I don't think it's an exaggeration, tbh.

XD. Who's breeding these people? I wouldn't even want to slam that person back, it's kind of adorable. Like, think of it coming out a 5 year olds mouth. It's adorable.

It was the black supremacy part people are looking at sideways.

Lmao, yeah. I didn't bother responding to those comments. They so obviously missed the boat on what I was talking about that I wouldn't bother. Most people responded positively towards my tweet anyway.

What is bad about that? He's saying it's not that. People don't need to fear because this is a humanity thing not anything else.

He's not an idiot. It's bad to self-censor just because of the people who are going to react poorly out of ignorance.

Said kind of an idiot. Just don't want people to think I don't like Terry Crews. The rest..well, people who need to know know.

Fuck him.

He is here taking about black supremacy, when black people don't have any power at all. And he think that is a something we needed to worry about. He is so fast to attack black people. He talks about slapping black comics and shit.

He unknowingly makes himself a weapon to be used by white people. As you can see them doing in 2 of the topics happening right now. One is literally posing as a black person to weaponize his tweet

Terry Crews is a winner. He should remind those losers, AKA the people always criticizing him, of that fact every time they open their mouths. But he is too much of a good guy to do that. His best option at this point is to not engage the nonsense and just focus on staying a winner. If he keeps getting involved, their toxicity will eventually bring him down to their level and he will end up another cancel culture casualty.

---

I am looking at the people praising him. They are all like Red State and the Dailywire.

Are you in a Terry Crews cult? What the fuck is this post?

Nobody even hates Terry Crews. They're just telling him to stop jamming his foot in his mouth.

---

Crews is out of his depth here and his comments come off as very clumsy. Talk of black supremacy is nothing more than philosophical musings and distracts from the real conversation that people are having.

---

Yes to all of these facts, I have zero doubt that he's a great, big hearted human being. People who are quick to take a single sentence potentially out of context and try to destroy someone over it can seriously fuck off.

---

He didnt even say anything bad. People saw the words "black supremacy" and immediately got offended before even attempting to understand what he was saying

He had good intentions but it was a really reckless comment. White supremacists jump all over statements like this and use it to validate their paranoia and delusions about the prospect of "black supremacy."

---

Don't care and he's allowed an opinion just like everyone else, so

His tweet wasn't attacking anybody. It was such a positive and unifying message, how anybody could read it and get to "fuck him" is insane to me.

good to see most people here are level headed

i like Terry, he built a gaming pc with his son.

---

What he said was meant in a good way and he makes a lot of sense. Hes a good guy.

Honestly if what Terry Crews says bothers you stop following him. He doesn't owe anybody anything when expressing his thoughts.

I dont think youre using that word correctly

Isolated economy and racial homogenity are different things

The world would be better if we pull all manufacturing and business out of China.

Don't engage, don't negotiate, ISOLATE China on ALL Business Levels throughout ALL countries.

That will hurt the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) the most.

Your country will be better for it in the long run.

I REFUSE to visit China until the CCP is removed from power.

Their bastardization of Chinese Culture is incredibly corrupt, perverted, and twisted.

If men don't get on board with being anti rapist, then that would lead to more female rapist. How does that sound ? And that is the same thing. How does black people stopping white supremacy lead to the black supremacy ?

Your wording was very unclear but from what I think you were trying to say, I think the more apt comparison would be men being anti-rapist doesn't mean society would be anti-men. Which also would be a fine thing to say.

His words were very unifying. I still don't understand your problem with them.

My words were clear. That is the equivalent. He is warning people of fucking black supremacy, if WHITE people some how don't help end white supremacy . Now how is that logical. And racist people are parsing him. THe daily Wire, the Quartering. ( A man who literally did a 30 min video complaining about a black video game character ending slavery) Red State. Tell me Joe if all of these racist people think what he said was great. Why do you?

There are some typos and things in how you are talking, so no you aren't super clear. Particularly the construction of the sentence I was responding to.

Ignoring that though, he isn't warning of black supremacy, he was talking about how this isn't an issue about angry black people, it's a humanity issue.

If traditionally intolerant people cosign that, then that is great, if they co-opt it and use it to say something else that is intolerant, then that is bad, but that's not his fault/problem.

We are judging a message he put on his twitter. This isn't something anybody is forced to read. It's him expressing a unifying message of common humanity. I blows that people are so unconstructive as to try to fight to demonize that.
