People Come After Terry Crews For ‘Black Supremacy’ Tweet
People are coming after Terry Crews for tweeting about “Black supremacy.”
Terry’s Everybody Hates Chris co-star Tyler James Williams responded, adding that he has “love” for his friend but that he was hurting the Black Lives Matter cause.
“Terry, brother, I know your heart and you know I have love for you and always will,” James tweeted. “No one is calling 4 black supremacy & the narrative that we are hurts our cause & our people. We’re just vigorously vetting our ‘allies’ because time & time again they have failed us in the past.”
Terry later clarified: “I understand, Tyler. I was not saying Black supremacy exists, because it doesn’t. I am saying if both Black and Whites don’t continue to work together– bad attitudes and resentments can create a dangerous self-righteousness. That’s all.”
“George Floyd could be me,” Terry had said on Twitter after the death of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer. “I could easily, easily be that man on the ground with that police officer’s knee on my neck. That could easily be me.”
There is a lot of tension this month, but hopefully we all can march forward toward equality peacefully.
