Crews has come under fire multiple times over the past couple months for his stance towards the evolving Black Lives Matter debate that came to fruition in the wake of the death of George Floyd.

He initially stirred controversy in June writing on Twitter, “Defeating white supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth.”
He added, “Like it or not, we are all in this together.”

While the actor has been frequently attacked for his comments, he has not backed down. In fact, he recently doubled down.
On Independence Day, the actor took to Twitter to make clear that he felt there are good people in every group.
He wrote, “Are all white people bad? No. Are all black people good? No.”
He added, “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,” Crews concluded.
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.

Many applauded Crews for his comments.
Terry I Love You For Real.
The stakes have never been higher for daring to step outside the approved narrative. I REALLY hope to see you on the next season of Brooklyn 99 & livestreaming your next PC build.

The fact that you are receiving so much pushback for this patently reasonable stance shows how bad the situation really is.

If you somehow find fault in Terry wanting people to be equal, I got some very bad news for you

However, as Crews noted there were definitely quite a bit of critics as well.
Do you believe blacks are equal to whites when it comes to Justice and equality?

Terry, all this does is reveal to the world that you’ve spent the majority of your life not contemplating anything and you’ve had your first epiphany. Sadly for you, it was a false epiphany.
You’ve decided to die on the hill of a false epiphany, and so let it be.

Over on Instagram, Crews kept the theme of his message for the Fourth of July writing, “WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! LET’S STAY HIGH!!!”
Like his Twitter post, many of the comments were very positive.
However, there were also a number of people who were critical of Crews’ Instagram post.
What do you think of the hill Terry Crews is willing to die on? And what do you think of the massive backlash the actor keeps getting for pushing for unity among all Americans?
