Sometimes people trying to make a point don't choose their words carefully, or they have a thought in mind that does not get clearly conveyed by the words they choose. The vast majority of US has this 'hand-brain' translation issue. Some are just more eloquent than others.

This ain't his first time saying some type of shit like this. He made his bed, he has to lay in it. Let him rest in peace. ☺

Dear terrycrews, this is why I unfollowed you last year.

Terry racist don’t care to hear the truth! Good for you for telling the truth!

Blacks lead the country in murders! Where is the memorial for victims of blacks?

I understood the tweet. He meant we need each other, we can’t claim to say that white people are racist if we are racist towards them, so we should unite to fight racism in general. So what’s the big deal? He’s right, let’s be better each day

What u talking about Willis? 🤔

There are lots of racist black people. captainobvious

TerryCrewsIsTheMan!

Look first to understand before deciding to judge! Twitter isn’t ideal for complex meaning so maybe take a breath before launching into canceling someone or something! BlackLivesMatter TerryCrews

Hold on y’all! he’s onto something. Slavery could never have ended without the white people in leadership. That much is true. Not sure wtf he meant about black supremacy though. Thoroughly lost me on that part.

Any gender can be sexist, any race can be racist

Socialist Anarchy is a dark cloud moving into the cities. White flight and business relocation out of the cities will accelerate

Should of quit after the cnn interview

I don’t think he meant any ill will. I think he just misspoke. Dude has always seemed like a great guy.

He faced some harsh blacklash

Omg. Everyone is ready to dump on you if you go off script even by just a little bit. You have to say the words exactly how they all want to hear it or your labelled🤦🏻‍♂️

Rational thought is definitely not appreciated here, terrycrews. How dare you?!

هههه

people do you guys even know, what black supremacy mean... and how that could be even possible?It would take 150 to 200yrs for this to happen! Please stop! That’s what bad white are afraid of, being treated or thought about the way they see black people now. Fix yourself

he crossed the sjws who think black people can't be racist

Can't have an opinion that's contrary to everyone else's.

Wow

Terry Crews is a national treasure. Shits a fact.

The season of mass cancellations

PPl destroying a POC terrycrews for trying to get people to put their differences aside. Meanwhile Clinton and Biden’s pal was a KKK leader and hadn’t a huge career as a democratic senator. Crickets.

Dag! This JUST happened two minutes ago. But y’all can’t find biggie’s killer?

But I bet he wasn't banned, was he? Meanwhile, let a white celebrity tweet the same thing but change 'Black' to 'White' and watch the true outrage.

Cheeseburger Eddie was trying to unit! Not separate. I believe what’s in his heart is good terrycrews just didn’t phrase it correctly, not going to pile on the man for that

Yeah idk what he was smoking when he tweeted that.

Better spice?
