Just days after stating that he wanted to make amends with Black women, Terry Crews made comments about the dangers of so-called Black supremacy that left many perplexed and troubled.
In a tweet Saturday, the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actor argued that dismantling white supremacy without the help of white people will lead to Black supremacy.
“Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy.
Of course, his comments were met with immediate pushback — including from his “Everybody Hates Chris” co-star, Tyler James Williams — as the assumption that the absence of white supremacy will result in the rise of black supremacy is problematic.
“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,” he wrote.
