Whose Mans Is This? Terry Crews’ Tweets About “Black Supremacy” Are Baffling

Terry Crews has an interesting take on the current protests and fight for justice. And by interesting, we mean baffling AF. The “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actor hopped on Twitter to explain why in fighting against white supremacy we need to be cautious of enacting “Black supremacy” … whatever that is.

Crews, who was already cancelled for his lack of support for (former) fellow America’s Got Talent cast member Gabrielle Union, ended up getting re-cancelled for this tweet…

Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth.

Like it or not, we are all in this together.

That’s right, Terry doesn’t want us Blacks to get too powerful. Unfortunately, he doesn’t take into account that White people had a 400+ years head start on oppression and that “Black supremacy” is literally not a thing and will never be a thing.

Thankfully, a few of his friends, respectfully tried to put him in his place. Former “Everybody Hates Chris” co-star Tyler James Williams spoke out, but it still seems as though Crews couldn’t catch on…

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. https://t.co/YLWGnpj8fl

And fellow actor Godfrey also tried to talk some sense into Terry, but at that point, Crews seemed to change his argument and directed it other Black people…

I agree. I'm not discussing white people here. there are "gatekeepers of Blackness" within our own community who decide who's Black and who's not. I have often been called out for not being "black enough". How can that be? https://t.co/Tt9Og866x6

Any Black person who calls me a coon or and Uncle Tom for promoting EQUALITY is a Black Supremist, because they have determined who's Black and who is not.

Speaking of coon, that exactly what Amanda Seales accused Terry of being!

2: yes, there are people who attempt to measure blackness according to diff methods. My bottom line is EVERY black experience IS a black experience UNLESS it is ANTI-black.

4: A lotta my fellow celebs need their phones taken away and replaced with books. You're not playing a role. You're a role model. We must know our history better than we know their scripts. ✊🏽

And it looks like overnight Crews has done sopme thinking and is trying to reshape his message.

I believe 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. I believe this dialogue is important as we get through this trauma together. I love you.

Y’all buying this or is Crews still cancelled?
