At this point, is Terry Crews just trolling all of us?
Earlier this month—even though no one asked him—he declared that “defeating white supremacy without white people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth. Like it or not, we are all in this together.”
Even though Black Twitter collectively rolled its eyes at the comment, he’s decided to come back with the same “All Lives Matter” rhetoric. And of course, Black Twitter (or anyone, for that matter), was not here for it.
“If you are a child of God, you are my brother and sister,” he tweeted Tuesday. “I have family of every race, creed and ideology. We must ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn’t morph into #blacklivesbetter.”

Appalled, celebs such as Amanda Seales, Soledad O’Brien and Bernice King, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter, responded to his message.
This is unintellectual and irresponsible. You are developing into an enemy of the people. Ignorance will be your downfall.

We’re so far from that bridge, Terry. #BlackLivesMatter is, in part, a rallying cry and a protest slogan to galvanize people into doing the justice work needed to derail the deaths, dehumanization and destruction of Black lives that racism causes.Justice is not a competition. https://t.co/Cdfac2V7M6

And of course, Black Twitter did its thing too.
How…how did you get here? Nobody’s supposed to be here. https://t.co/4TUDyKgruk
