Terry Crews Tried To Defend Wannabe Black Person Murderer Liam Neeson And Got Dragged To Old Spice Crumbles
Terry Crews Dragged For Liam Neeson Defense
We at Bossip absolutely love Terry Crews and all he’s done to stand up for sexual assault victims, and when you love someone you have to hold them accountable. Which means we gotta hold Crews accountable for his stance on Liam Neeson.
After at first tweeting this about Liam Neeson…
Hmmmm. Reminds me of a time I got provoked by a rich white guy I didn’t know. Hoping I would do something.
Thank God I never took the bait. https://t.co/9OIka9vBRx

he added something problematic. Check it out here:
I believe that every person on earth is capable of the greatest good, or unspeakable evil.
Liam is just describing his fork in the road. https://t.co/CT5HurMADE

The problem here is that Liam never quite owned up to the racist part of his admission that he went on a hunt to kill a “black bastard.” He just sort of glazed over that part. The problem with his whole spiel was laid out perfectly over at Newsone (you can read the whole article here).
Trayvon Martin was killed by George Zimmerman, who was out patrolling a neighborhood under no one’s direction but his own. He spotted a teenage Trayvon Martin and called 911 while following him. During that 911 call, Zimmerman is heard saying “These assholes always get away” — clearly an indication that Zimmerman had preconceived biases towards Black people in America; an idea that Black folks are prone to crimes and don’t pay for them. That night, an altercation ensued and Trayvon Martin was dead; killed by a man angry that Black people supposedly get away with crimes.
So, on Martin’s birthday, Good Morning America had Liam Neeson on to discuss the time he went on a vigilante crusade to murder a Black man because a Black man raped someone close to him. Neeson didn’t go looking for the actual rapist. Neeson didn’t go looking for just a man. He went looking for a Black man. Because shared race was close enough proximity for him to exact revenge. He wanted a “Black bastard” while George Zimmerman saw an “a$$hole.” The mission is the same. The motivation is the same. The end result was different because Neeson didn’t find a Black person during that time. Zimmerman did.
Crews has gotten lit up for his take by everyone from writers and activists to Wale.
Na. No. Nope. Liam is trash . We losin Brothers all the time because of this proverbial “fork” . Na fam https://t.co/FH1T7dsWRN

In short, the man is getting dragged to hell. Now we won’t allow this to discredit the work he’s done so far, but we will hold him accountable for this horrid take.
So peep the dragging that is taking place:
“A fork in the road” implies there were choices to be made by Liam and he did choose. And his choice was evil. Despicable. Repugnant. And racist. The ONLY reason he didn’t get to carry out what he wanted is really because of luck. He just so happened not to find someone to kill.

It may be, but it’s true.
I’m not defending him at all. In fact, he absolutely revealed what births a white supremacist.
But what’s worse is those who practice it and NEVER reveal it. https://t.co/QzQOFEBWPN

Terry Crews like any other celebrity was in the spotlight too long n started saying dumb shit lol

Why are we celebrating people for NOT killing Black men? Is that how low the bar is? Liam Neeson hasn’t even acknowledged his words, thoughts & actions were racist. All he’s said is revenge is bad as if it would’ve been revenge if he’d carried out the act, come on man.

Dylan Roof literally killed 9 black people because he believed that they “rape our women and are taking over our country". Liam don't get a pass on this one.

Y'all boy Terry Crews rode in with that cape for Gina Rodriguez and says that Liam Neeson was just at a "fork in the road" when walking the streets looking for a random black dude to kill. But he said it's on sight for Russell Simmons, 50 cent, or DL Hughley huh? Lol pic.twitter.com/jjpY5MIqb1

Terry Crews is wack for defending Liam period!! Like @Wale said there are black men getting killed, harassed, or beaten all the time because of white men with that same mentality that Liam “had” and that’s a problem.
