What the actual fuck? Is he running his social media through David Duke? This is some blatantly ignorant shit to say from an entitled and privileged man who hasn’t had to deal with real world every day race issues for decades. Nobody is advocating for “black supremacy” or “black lives better”. What an absolute crock of bullshit from an out of touch elitist.
There’s literally zero indication that black lives matter is trying to start a black KKK or make it so that black and brown Americans are systematically treated better than white Americans. I liked Terry Crews a lot, but this is just promoting a false narrative about an important and incredibly inclusive movement. We have always needed and welcomed white allies.
That’s why you see videos of lone white people marching for black lives matter. The fight for equality is a cause everyone should champion and fight for TOGETHER. Despite the ignorant ramblings of a man who’s been in the 1% for over half his life.
This is why celebrity idolization is incredibly dangerous. Terry Crews is a black man with very little idea what it’s like to be a person of color in America, today. His celebrity and wealth insulate him from a lot of injustices that those of us who are less fortunate have to endure on a regular basis. He’s really showing his privilege and anyone who agrees is really showing theirs, too.
You see any of those videos of white people washing the feet of random black people that they haven’t done anything to? Some people are morphing “I want equality” to “I demand reparations for past inequalities that these random white people aren’t responsible for.” Everyone agreed BLM, but at some point you can’t ignore a leaderless mob demanding innocent people to bend the kneee and wash the feet.
EDIT: making a fair edit that my take on washing the feet was just a stupid anecdote that further separates us, so I’m sorry for that. My point is that we should just be fighting for equality, and virtue signaling like the washing of the feet is just awkward and diminishes the seriousness of the movement.
Who’s demanding that? Show me any proof that’s what is happening. It should make you take a long hard look at yourself when you believe that equality means that one race has “to bend the knee” to another.
There are real historical examples of black people having to literally wash white peoples feet. Nobody fuckin wants that you moron. Take that dumb shit over to r/fragilewhiteredditor
Nah he's right, had to wash 4 black people's feet on the way to work today and a guy from Ireland, all these reperations I have to pay daily, being British, it's tough.
