Back in 2020, Terry Crews fired off some tweets and faced extremed backlash as he tweeted, “defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth. Like it or not, we are all in this together.”
In another tweet he says, “If you are a child of God, you are my brother and sister. I have family of every race, creed and ideology. We must ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn’t morph into #blacklivesbetter”
Fans and social media called for the cancellation of the comedian- but it looks like he is now apologetic. While on the Trevor Noah “The Daily Show” he explains, “I’m going to let you know, I really do want to apologize to anybody who was offended by these tweets, and was hurt deeply.”
“As an example, as an African American man, a Black man here in this country, I did not want to give the perception that we’re supposed to gloss this over and forgive the death of George Floyd, the murder of George Floyd. And I want to apologize to everyone right now who was ever offended, because it hurt.”
