He's just bringing up shit no one is talking about. No one is saying all white people are bad outside of a few crazy people. Definitely not the majority.

The issue at hand is systemic racism. Saying "theres good white people and bad black people" doesnt help anything.

Also to add to your point, this is literally the fears that racist white people have any civil right moviement from black people.

That's just bad faith to compare him to Candace Owens.

I think he's probably focusing too much on Twitter and thinking the twitter mob is representative of some portion of people. And I mean, it's easy too get to that point.
Regardless though, nothing he's saying is wrong and it seems weird to try to criticize these banal statements because of fear that it will get co opted and change the conversation or whatever the reason is

When his man takeaway about his brothers and sisters being murdered ON CAMERA by police (who still haven't faced any sort of justice) is to focus on the BLM movement is suspect as fuck.

I don't see those as comparable because white supremacists have a very specific ideology that precludes them from being good people, whereas white people in general don't all share the ideology that they're superior to blacks because they're white.

No it is not. Black people are facing systemic racism, discrimination in Housing, in work, in every walk of life in America. Trump goes out of his way to attack black Americans. and police harass, beat, fasly jail, and beat black people in America. We are no where close to even be equal and he is talking about black supremacy.

If you are fine with Terry Statement to black people, then you should be okay with the other statement.

It's also the weird thing where people use extreme language online, but we know they really don't mean it that way. We see it when talking about genders, race, etc. People in general aren't that precise with language.

The problem isn't what Terry Crews said necessarily. It's when he's saying it. It's what he has said and hasn't said in the past.

He preaches love and acceptance and support and all this positivity.

But......he doesn't follow it. Like at all.

He came out as a sexual assault victim. The #MeToo movement supported him unconditionally.
His co-worker, a fellow victim who supported him, came out about racial abuse she had experienced on the show. And he supported the show runners. He didn't support her because "the only woman I can side with is my wife".

He has posted stuff espousing a hetero-superior view on family compared to same-sex families. Even with having friends that would fall under that umbrella.

He hasn't, to my knowledge, done anything in regards to any of the police murder victims. He isn't fighting for their right/memory. He's just placating the conservative white crowds in this guise of "We are all one big happy family" which, again, he hasn't been showing to non-white people.

And that's the issue with what he posts. Yeah of course not all white people are evil and not all black people are good. That doesn't need to be said.
