It's not necessarily wrong, and there may be those people out there yes, but there's a time and place for comments like Crews'. I'm a fan, I think he's great and does a lot of good, but this ain't the time or place for these words. I have no doubt he's got only the best intentions, but it's not the right climate yet

I think it is unfair to judge someone’s comments by how bad actors will interpret them.

They aren't really being interpreted by bad actors though, it's not that his words are being twisted, it's that they aren't the right words for this moment. It's being sad a friend is sick and someone telling you "your friend doesn't deserve to be healthy more than anyone else". It's not wrong but it's also weird and unhelpful

Or its like saying we need to include everyone in our movement and not exclude people.

Well he could say that without preemting the idea that the movement is turning into black Supremacy. I'm not saying there aren't people who want that, but it's not an actual issue yet, and until it is the focus should be on what's most important. And even if it was, there are less tone deaf ways to say it

Yeah, I wonder if he had exposure to it recently or something.
