Terry Crews Receives Backlash for ‘Black Supremacy’ Tweet
Terry Crews is currently receiving backlash on Twitter following a tweet he made on Sunday in which he wrote about “black supremacy.”
In the tweet, Crews said that to defeat white supremacy, both black and white people must unite, and if not, they risk creating “black supremacy.”
He tweeted; “Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth. Like it or not, we are all in this together.”
Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth.

Many have pointed out using that black supremacy isn’t a valid ideology and he had accused anyone who finds a problem with his tweet as “black supremist.”
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.

#BlackSupremacy ? How would you explain to your black child why the world is fighting for BLM w/o making him/her feeling like they’re “less than”, or scared for their life? Supremacy where? We wouldn’t be having this conversation if such a thing existed in America. @terrycrews

Even if we did want black supremacy, so what? We’ve had white supremacy for over 400 years. Let’s switch it up a bit. Add a lil razzle dazzle to the supremacies.

“Black supremacy” is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. EVER. Stop giving white supremacists talking points.

This makes absolutely no sense, makes very Black self-hating assumption that Black folks would actually try to do harm to White people in major ways, when there is no proof in history of any such behavior even remotely close to White supremacist behavior. Please read books, sir.

This isn’t the first time Crews has made controversial comments in regards to race. Back in January, Crews discredited Gabrielle Union’s claims of experiencing discrimination during her run on America’s Got Talent arguing that he personally never experienced any of the things she was describing. He however later apologize.
