    Terry Crews Stood His Ground Again Over Fourth of July Weekend

    Terry Crews Stood His Ground Again Over Fourth of July Weekend

    Terry Crews has chosen a hill to die on. It's not a hill that would normally be controversial, but in the year 2020 everything seems to have a political bent to it. Crews tweeted the fact that there are bad eggs in every race - including white and black. But he will be friends with anyone of any color if they are simply kind people. What he ultimately wants, is harmony.

    And the actor says he's received "threats" for voicing that reasonable opinion.

    Are all white people bad?

    No.

    Are all black people good?

    No.

    Knowing this reality- I stand on my decision to unite with good people, no matter the race, creed or ideology.

    Given the number of threats against this decision-

    I also decide to die on this hill.

    "It's an overly simplified message that fails to acknowledge the reality of prejudice in society," one critic said.

    Others just called Crews cruel names such as the "n" word, "Uncle Tom" or "Uncle Terry."

    He had been fielding hateful messages for a few weeks. In early June he tweeted his first "controversial" statement about the state of race relations in America, suggesting that activists not be so hostile toward white people.

    Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth.

    Like it or not, we are all in this together.
    — terry crews (@terrycrews) June 7, 2020

    People called him "ignorant." But unlike so many other celebrities bullied into apologizing for harmless remarks, he refused to apologize for his message. In fact, he's continued to share his common sense, albeit unpopular, sentiments.

    "If you are a child of God, you are my brother and sister. I have family of every race, creed and ideology," he wrote on the Fourth of July. "We must ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn't morph into #blacklivesbetter."

    Seriously. If everyone was like that this thing would tone down some when they can see that they can't bully people into submission.

    Think about that. Death threats over something as simple and true as not all white people and black people are bad.

    I haven't actually said this outloud to anyone yet, but last week, the Lord showed me that because of all of this hatred being shown to white people, my heart was hardening to people of colour. The accusations of being racist just because of the colour of my skin.... can it get more racist than that???

    My grandparents came to Canada in the late 1800s (maternal) and early 1900s (paternal) - I'm second generation Canadian ..... they came for a better life, for freedom, to be able to live their lives unafraid of persecution. My family had nothing to do with slavery. My ancestors are white, how can I be blamed for the plight of black Americans just because I'm white??? My heart was hardening because I don't understand how I can be held accountable for something neither my ancestors nor I had anything to do with...

    It's one thing to stand in the gap in repentance, but it's another thing to be blamed and hated for something you had nothing to do with and no control over.... How does one PROVE that you're not racist???

    I have one African American "friend" on FB who, though I hardly know her, has decided that she needs to correct me on every post I make about race relations...

    I SO appreciate Terry Crews for taking a non-apologetic stand.

    I have been perplexed by the apologies. If I discover that I really said something wrong then of course I will apologize, but if I said something right (and, most importantly, in line with SCRIPTURE) then I cannot apologize.

    AJ, this is exactly what the devil is aiming for. He is wanting to get white people hardened so that he can destroy them, and in the long run, people of color, most who are already hardened. But believe me when I tell you that it is very tough for Black men like myself and Terry Crews who speak up boldly about such things. I am not receiving the hatred on the same scale as Crews but all you have to do is go to my FB page and see the reaction of some people when I point out how some of my fellow African Americans have bought into a lie.

    It really is not an attack on White people as much as it is an attack on conservative and Biblical values. Whites and conservative blacks like myself just happen to be in the cross-hairs of this battle.

    Thank you. It's actually very painful for me. I simply love people.

    It's painful for me to hear that you find your "heart being hardened" because of this madness

    Like you, I simply "Love People" - It doesn't matter what his or her race is... As long as we treat each other with mutual respect, we don't have to agree on everything (especially politics) - We're all part of the *Human Race*

    Satan Hates All People

    He is the father of stirring up hatred among races and this is one of his deceitful ways to stir up hate and he sits back and laughs

    Yeah, it's ultimately not about race. It's an ideological battle. The race thing is just a front, and unfortunately so many are deceived by it and don't realize they're pawns in a larger battle.

    Same here. I love people of every color. I have experienced quite a bit of racism in my lifetime but I have never allowed it to make me bitter (even before I was saved) nor did I blame every person of a different color for the actions of a few. Sadly we live in a different world where it is normal to be offended by everything and it seems that one must have a "cause" or something to protest.
