Actor Terry Crews Faces Backlash After 'Black Lives Better' Tweet
Terry Crews is facing backlash for a tweet about the Black Lives Matter movement.
The black actor said we must ensure Black Lives Matter doesn't morph into Black Lives Better.
He tweeted, “If you are a child of God, you are my brother and sister. I have family of every race, creed and ideology.”
Among many who weighed in was Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Martin Luther King Junior.
King said black Americans are far from that bridge and added the movement is a way to bring justice needed to end the "deaths, dehumanization and destruction of Black lives."
President Clinton's former aide Keith Boykin said demanding black equality is not black supremacy.
Actress Holly Robinson Peete responded to Crews, saying, “Terry we trying to ‘matter’ and get to ‘equal’ and you are worried about better?? “
Amanda Seales let Terry have it, saying that Crews words were “unintellectual and irresponsible.” She added, “You are developing into an enemy of the people. Ignorance will be your downfall.”
