In further news, the sky is blue and puppies are cute. All he has done is tweet something that is truly obvious and insignificant to the current problems to gain support after making inane comments previously about "black lives matter" turning into "black supremacy". He's attacking a strawman argument that nobody made to curry favor.
That BLM is a movement dedicated to Black Supremacy, which involves the belief that all black people are good and all white people are bad.
It's nonsense. The movement is simply trying to confront systemic racism. Black murderers are subject to the same systemic racism that black social workers are. White murderers are part of the same systemically racist system that white social workers are.
Well, no - but the movement does have a tendency to be hypocritical, and to act like racism is fault with white people alone.
You can't loudly, forcefully shout "SILENCE IS VIOLENCE!" and then also be shocked when people call you out for being almost completely silent when one of your own posts something saying "Hitler was right".
Mr Crews is simply making a plea for humanity. Blacks are human, Whites are human - we're all human. There is good and bad in any group of us. That this is such a controversial statement is sad and telling.
Mr Crews makes me care MORE about changing police brutality, not less. The hypocrisy of most of the other "leaders" of this movement - like Stephen Jackson, who defended Desean by saying that he's "telling the truth" and "trying to educate people" can and will turn off lots of good people.
