Actor and bodybuilder Terry Crews had addressed his comments regarding the Black Lives Matter movement which didn’t go down well with a lot of people.
During his appearance on CNN this week, Crews spoke to anchor, Don Lemon about his tweets on the movement that sparked outrage.
The actor had stated on his Twitter account that not all white people are bad and not all black people are good, and for that reason, he says he stands by his decision to unite with the good people and not focus on their race.
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.

According to Crews, many black Americans are taking their ideology too far. He also added that it is not rare for black people to see him and other actors and entertainers as “sell-outs” because they still work with white people for their professional careers.
Speaking further, the Hollywood star stated that the Black Lives Matter movement had become too “hostile” and “militant” at times in their approach to racial equality.
He emphasized that the movement ought to be about conveying a move toward equality, rather than “black supremacy.”
Crews had earlier urged black people and the public to avoid turning the Black Lives Matter movement into a black versus white dispute.
