American actor, comedian, and activist, Terry Crews caught heat on Sunday night after he tweeted that “defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy.”
The “America’s Got Talent” host has been vocal in his support of the Black Lives Matter protests, and Crews was among the members of the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” cast to donate money to bail funds for protesters.
But fans hit back at Crews’ most recent tweet about racism in America.
See tweet:
Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth.
Like it or not, we are all in this together.

“Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy,” Crews wrote in his tweet. “Equality is the truth. Like it or not, we are all in this together.”
Although Crews appeared to be calling for unity during protests, Twitter users said his message was flawed because he compared “black supremacy” — an idea that can also be called reversed racism — to white supremacy.
