Send in the Clowns: Terry Crews tweets "We must ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn’t morph into #blacklivesbetter"

There was no reason to say this that I can wrap my head around. The first part... fine. But why say that last part? There's no danger of it happening what so ever. Maybe four or five decades from now it could realistically become a possibility, if countless necessary changes to redress inequality have occurred. Even then that seems overly optimistic.
I can't understand what he was even going for here. This doesn't please *anyone*.

Terry needs to shut the fuck up. Not once in my life I ever thought, "hmm, today I'd like to be the slave owner." But I have thought constantly, and more recently, "I sure do hope I don't get lynched walking home from work."

Maybe these tweets are his way to convince Sandler & Stallone to hire him again since he refuses to drop the lawsuit against that agent? (I know it's not, just can't figure out why he's stuck on stupid.)
"Oh ho ho I see you asking not to be murdered in the streets and to have better access to resources which you've been denied access do to systemic discrimination? Don't you know that's a slippery slope into you being the oppressor?!"
Even though you're banned, I'll try to help you out on the chance that you might be asking this in good faith. The BLM movement isn't built around the message that "black means better". Bringing that up is just deflection that caters to the all lives matter crowd. It takes the conversation away from black lives matter which communicates that all lives are equal, and should be treated as such.
Basically, it's a straw man argument.
Not only does it take the conversation away from BLM, it actively diminishes the movement by making it look like a hostile, selfish movement instead of the inclusive movement it is.
It's essentially painting BLM as a black supremacist group waiting to happen, which is a fundamental misreading of the entire point of BLM.
Black People: "Can we be paid/treated/not-killed-by-police the same way as white people?"
Morons: "WHOA SLIPPERY SLOPE TO BLACK SUPREMACY"

Terry Crews just keeps one-upping himself with the coonery.
Every time this dumb as fuck nigga opens his mouth more shit comes out.

Rest easy Terry. We got an insanely long way to go before we flip the situation and need to discuss de-escalating the white genocide. Lol.
This is one of the "arguments" that immediately turns me nasty on social media.
Asshole: I'm super worried that we're going to build a system of oppression!
Me: We already have, we live in it currently.
Asshole: Nuh-uh.

As lily white white dude I can affirm that my fear level of BLM morphing into whatever he's talking about is exactly 0. So zero that it could be used as the benchmark for 'absolute zero' temps. Anyone who's legit afraid that people will go from "Hey maybe don't treat us like shit and stop murdering us" to "A THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN UPON THEE" is not someone who's opinion of racial injustice should taken seriously.
Is it bad that my first reaction to that pic was that it looked like something out of a really messed up porno?
The ideal future for BLM

Remember when he was one of those celebs everyone looked up to... Dude lost the plot in the last 12-18 months :(
Fuck i laughed at this waaay to hard and now i gotta explain some things to my boss.The ideal future for BLM
Definitely. White folks are always looking for their version of a KKK to attack.
I'm still fuming over how this asshole backstabbed everybody who stood up for him when he called out his abuser a year or two ago.
There was a time where I thought Terry was serious about being role model that bucked the trend against toxic masculinity and insecurity but as soon as he got all his wounds taken care of he decided to oull uo the ladder from under him. I feel like a fucking moron for falling for it.

No we don't.
This coon has been on some shit for a while. The homophobic shit, the backstabbing and hypocrisy during Me Too, not saying anything when Gabrielle Union dealt with racism on America's Got Talent... every other day it's something with him.
