Terry Crews’ ‘Black Supremacy’ Comments On Twitter Spark Backlash - Hopefully he doesn’t pull a Drew Brees and apologize three times

https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/08/black-supremacy-tweet-terry-crews-backlash/

Actor Terry Crews received backlash for a tweet he made Sunday calling for people to be careful about the creation of “black supremacy.”

In the tweet, Crews cautioned that the end of white supremacy without the support of white people would create “black supremacy.” “Equality is the truth,” Crews continued, “Like it or not, we are all in this together.”

“Terry Crews” and “Black Supremacy” both began trending on Twitter shortly after the tweet was released, reported USA Today.

Orlando Jones responded to the tweet and said “Black supremacy? We represent 13% of US population, hold no institutional power & gaslight our coworkers.”

Director and writer Darryl Wharton-Rigby said in his response tweet that “we have officially entered the Twilight Zone” after Mitt Romney protested in Washington, D.C.

Author Frederick Joseph said “Every time I think Terry Crews has done the worst, he always does more” in his tweet.

Crews later lashed out on Twitter and said that those responding to his tweet with negative comments were “black supremacists.” Crews also said that people were calling him an “Uncle Tom” and a “Coon.”

Crews tweeted again Monday and said that “it is important we not suffer from groupthink, and we keep minds of our own, and be allowed to ask difficult questions to each other.” He also said that he hopes for “a better future for Black people” and that his messages came from “a spirit of love and reconciliation.”

COPS = BAD

Its about to get worse as Tucker called it I believe right tonight. The abolish police is a smokescreen for change the ideological makeup of rank and file from republican to democrat. Make it like how the UK has it with their police and more tyrannical than they already are now in some sense plus militarized.

meth was always used to exterminate Commies

You are technically right. That Finnish Sniper "White Death" literally used meth to give him the energy to kill Soviet soldiers for days on end when they were invading Finland.

Imagine trying to put on a based facade about this considering that wife is white. The bitch is a walking Barbie doll.

Just another celeb talking out of his ass while taking it up the butt at the same time. Nothing surprising.

She looks like a lighter-skinned black person, doesn't look white from where I'm standing.

 

[Gar For Archer]

Not to take anything away from your point, but on the Daily Caller, I also happened to read how the founder of Kwanzaa believed in an ideology where blacks were more powerful than both whites and Africans combined :

Also, someone once stated that Hispanics aren’t really a race, but they’re not even really Hispanic. Instead, they looked white. It’s the same thing when they’re asked the difference between a Jew and a White person.

Spoiler

granted it may have been someone who was Black, but just something I wanted to add

Hispanics are probably the race with the widest spectrum of appearances, probably because they are the closest thing we have to “ambiguously brown”. There’s Hispanics that can pass for white, middle-eastern, or even dark-skinned Asian (e.g. Thai or Filipino) and may pass for different things under different lighting. Not too surprising considering they are essentially the result of European and essentially Asian (because that’s more or less what Native Americans are) genetic mixing.

Hispanic/Latino is such a bullshit category. You have pure Spaniard whiteys in the upper classes of Central and South America, you have Native Americans but south of the Rio Grande, you have blacks, and I think Philipinos are classed as Hispanic but I'm not totally sure. And there's also the various mixes. And for some reason people count all this as one race

 

[spiritofamermaid]

You can absolutely be black and believe that your race is superior and live in such a way that your only interactions will be with other black people. You can absolutely hold the philosophy that you are owed more, even beyond the level, because of descriminate suffering.

At the same time, I get your point. He isn't using the proper words to describe his feelings. That's a trap many of us fall into. If we are to fix systemic issues, we all have to come together and work cohesively. It takes time to construct. It takes less time to destroy. And anger, while it can be productive, is sometimes turned within and destroys everything in a moment.

Also he's on twitter, so of course he can't accurately talk about his feelings regardless of what they are.

"we hold no institutional power, other than literally every company in the S&P500 actively supporting our cause"

You can’t say anything like what he said on twitter without setting off the always online lunatics.

 

[OnMoTi]

"we hold no institutional power, other than literally every company in the S&P500 actively supporting our cause"

No, no, no. 99% of the media, celebrities, corporations, politicians, etc. openly supporting them and promising to fund them to the tune of billions at this point, with absolutely no fear of reprisal, doesn't mean they're not totally and utterly oppressed in every way imaginable. Blacks are victims of police brutality at the rate of 0.001% of their interactions with the cops, and even though this is a universal thing, it uniquely affects them because of something that happened 1,000 years ago. So get on your knees, racist, and wash those feet.

 

[Mr. Sandwiches]

His comment wasn't ill-founded or cultivated out of ill-intent exactly; it just seemed unnecessary. Yes, unity: awesome, great, but the way he said it seemed so utterly innocuous and primitive in design that I'm not at all surprised people grilled him for it.

"Defeating white supremacy without white people creates black supremacy durr" Yeah like no fucking shit.

Hispanic means "Spanish Speaker" or, at most, "related to Spain". I don't know why or who made the word related to race but, as you say, it's bs.

Also, there are many Spaniards who hate the term " Latino" because it means a different thing for them. Say, the original meaning of Latin American is the Americans who live in countries under Spanish influence.

Thing is, Latino means a whole different thing for us actual Latinos (Spaniards or the LatAms) and it's not remotely the connotation given by Americans, specially SJWs. Ice T saying we're "black too" was a bit insulting.

Flips have their own demographic for Hispanics Flips, Spanish Filipinos. Spaniards may have colonized and fucked all over the place but they didn't get everyone. Majority Filipinos are still pureblood and have more in common with Polynesians than other groups, except in the north where Chinese contact was common.

Overall, it's easier to use the label Latino than naming every country south of the Rio Grande individually. White/Caucasian has a similar diverse range when you compare it to Europe, from the shores of Portugal to the Ural Mountains.

Crews is not based.

He's a cuck, simp, leftie, and whenever he has a decent take and gets called out for it by other lefties, he'll go back and apologize to them to please the crowd and the Jews above. Fuck him.

damn it and I liked him

You say 'no fucking shit', but there's many who are taking part in these protests and riots who disagree and will call you a racist (or in Crews' case, coon and Uncle Tom) for saying that. To them, white people are uniquely racist and destructive, and just like they believe you cannot be racist against white people, they also believe that if white people weren't in control then the world would inherently be a better place.

Yes, that's stupid. Yes, that's racist in its own right. But there are many people who are fighting for this narrative to be the received version of how the world works, from the 1619 Project to how black-on-black or black-on-white violence is never reported on or regarded as horrible as white-on-black violence.

What Crews said should be considered bland pablum. It should be easily dismissed as empty rhetoric. Unfortunately, we're currently at a point where it's controversial for him to say it, and people will try to attack you for believing it, as they've already attacked him.

I didn't know spouting sane centrist opinions was "based" nowadays.

It's shit, isn't it. And yet currently, it's true. Anyone who doesn't wholeheartedly agree with the mob and do what it demands counts as based, and if you'll notice that's a disturbingly small number of people.

How can you end white supremacy without the support of white people? That makes zero sense.

What a world where Lil Wayne makes a more nuanced argument than many of the other rich black chimps on twitter.

Lil Wayne On Floyd Death: Stop Blaming Entire Police Force, Entire Race; There Are ‘A Bunch Of Facts We Think We Know That We Don’t Know’

Reacting to the death of George Floyd, rapper Lil Wayne said Friday that folks need to be “very specific” when reacting to perceived injustices, warning not to blame the “entire force” or an “entire race.” Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., noted that he’s unimpressed by...

So black people are powerless and need validation from white people? That's pretty supremacist of you.
