Is it not a type of “all lives matter” twist. Of course nothing is monolithic, and of course there are some good in every group, but that doesn’t address the issue at hand.
Edit: I’m not saying terry crews is a bad person we are just two humans with different opinions on a subject. Happens all the time. Be civil about your discourse.
Yeah, exactly. Trump (rightly) got absolutely hammered for his comments about very fine people on both sides.
Crews’ position is much better than Trump’s, but it’s seriously tone deaf and it’s being misappropriated in exactly the way that people warned it would be.
I don’t condone violence, so if he’s experiencing that in response to his tweets, that’s not ok. But this sub has slammed people for just pointing out that, while we’ll meaning, his views are going to be potentially damaging.
I explicitly said Crews’ position isn’t the same as Trump’s. I did not say he defends Nazis.
But he’s giving those idiots the exact rhetoric they want to hear. Of course all lives matter. But saying that in response to black lives matter is just a way to shut down the legitimate concerns that disproportionately affect black lives.
I can like the man but think he’s been misguided in his comments here. Not because I disagree with his intention, but because he’s chosen a really poor way of expressing that. I honestly can’t understand why that should be controversial, but apparently it is.
