Terry Crews isn't wrong... I'm also against black supremacy.
But there's a great reason I would NEVER tweet about the dangers of black supremacy:
Because it will never happen. You know who's stop it?
Black people.

On September 9, 1739, an enslaved Kongol warrior named Jemmy, along with 22 other warriors that he recruited, started kicking white people's asses in South Carolina.
They had guns, hatchets and machetes and other enslaved people joined in and burned 2 dozen plantations.

Yes, these motherfuckers were FURIOUS about being enslaved. So what was their plan? Were they going to kill all the white people and take over?
Nope. They only killed slaveowners and people who got in their way. They weren't even trying to take over. They were headed to Florida

Nah, they weren't going to Florida for spring break. They wanted to go to Florida. See, Florida was controlled by Spain, who would free enslaved people who converted to Catholicism.
Well, Jemmy and the Kongol people were ALREADY CATHOLIC.

merica's religion, on the other hand, was SLAVERY.
When they were captured, Jemmy told the white people: ‘We don’t like slavery. We start to join the Spanish in Florida.
We surrender but we not whipped yet and we is not converted."

Jemmy 'nem weren't interested in black supremacy or even vengeance. They just wanted to be free.
How do I know this?
Well if South Carolina slaves were interested in "black supremacy," It wouldn't be that hard because there is important thing to know about SC

For 200 years, from 1708 until 1910, South Carolina's population was majority black.
Which brings us to 1865.
During Reconstruction, white people were a minority in some states including Miss. SC, La and Fla. So of course, they committed violence against whites, right?

Nah, white people did that.
In fact, it was states with the MOST black people that white violence flared up. During Reconstruction, when black supremacy could have existed and been justified, it was WHITE SUPREMACY that caused the most violent period in American history

Maddafack, there has never been a movement for freedom and equality that black people haven't fought for... EVEN WHEN THEY DIDN'T BENEFIT FROM THE MOVEMENT.
After the death of Crispus Attucks, widely believed to be the first killed in the American Revolution, his sister said:

When white women wanted the right to vote, black women fought and died for women's suffrage. But when the 19th Amendment passed and excluded black women, white women were like:

Black people fought in the labor movement for whites but when white people got their rights, white workers said:
In fact, in the Elaine Massacre, one of the worst racial massacres in U.S. history, black people were fighting for the right to unionize. Whites from all over the South killed more than 200 black people and burned many of the bodies
But we're talking about black supremacy right?

Well, black people outnumbered whites in Elain TEN to ONE.
Why was there no "black supremacy" there?
Because we don't do that shit.
EVER.
The Red Summer of 1919 was a summer filled with racial massacres. Everyone talks about the Chicago massacre but no one mentions Bisbee AZ

Well, the reason many of those riots took place was that whites were upset by black veterans who returned from WWI with a new attitude and considered themselves equal.
We had helped defend Democracy and were repaid with quotes like this one from Mississippi Sen. James Vardaman:

*TBH, this is my favorite quote by Vardaman, though:
Anyway, in Bisbee, AZ on July 3, 1919, the entire police force opened fire on some black men visiting town.
Why'd they attack the black men?
Well, Bisbee wanted veterans to march in the July 4th parade, so some came down. But the Army sent BLACK vets from the 10th Calvary...

Also known as the Buffalo Soldiers.
They could have killed every one of those police officers.
But they weren't into "Black Supremacy" they were just trying to serve.

Black people disproportionately served in every war after WWI. After black soldiers helped defeat the Nazis, they were denied the GI Bill while white veterans used it to build a middle class
The anti-war movement of the 1960s? Black people participated in it.

But they didn't recieve medical and psychological treatment like white soldiers. That's why so many white Vietnam vets received disability and black soldiers didn't.
A Vietnam Vet in my neighborhood was repeatedly denied disability even though he had shrapnel in his eye.

He talked about it ALL the time, until he finally found a black Dr. and was approved for disability...

Black people fought for and died this country and for the freedom of white people MORE THAN WHITE PEOPLE.

According to @ADL's 2018 report, only 3.2 percent of extremist killings over the last 10 years came at the hands of left-wing movements, including "black supremacists."
3 out of 4 extremist murders over the last decade were by right-wingers, including white supremacists

You are more likely to see Bigfoot fucking the Loch Ness Monster or a Vampire fighting a Werewolf than ACTUAL black supremacy.
The FBI has been looking into the Black Identity Extremist movement since 2016.
They couldn't find any.
ZERO.

White supremacists, on the other hand?
According to FBI data, they've killed more Americans than ISIS, Black Lives Matter, Black supremacists and Candace Owens' edges combined.
BUT instead of discussing why the VAST majority of domestic terrorists are white males...

This chapstick-less motherfucker would rather center whiteness in a conversation about black lives and go on a media tour talking about shit that will NEVER EVER happen.
So, my dear white people, instead of worrying about "black supremacy" maybe you should ask yourselves this:
So, my dear white people, instead of worrying about "black supremacy" maybe you should ask yourselves this:
Have you sacrificed as much to eliminate white supremacy as black people have to ensure black supremacy never exists?*
