This week, Terry Crews found himself in yet another social media firestorm, after he made some controversial remarks about the Black Lives Matter movement.
“If you are a child of God, you are my brother and sister,” the actor tweeted out Tuesday morning, noting, “I have family of every race, creed, and ideology.”
But what struck some people the wrong way was the last sentence of the tweet in which he felt compelled to add, “We must ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn’t morph into #blacklivesbetter.”

Not surprisingly, his followers and critics took to social media and argued that the America’s Got Talent host was going out of his way to cleverly repackage “All Lives Matter” rhetoric that turns a blind eye to the systemic oppression and disproportionate hardships that Black communities have to face just to be equal, let alone “better.”
Tuesday, Crews sat down with Roland Martin to talk about cancel culture, what it was like having to apologize to Gabrielle Union twice, and how he really feels about supporting Black Lives Matter.
