Terry Crews speaks

I have a deep respect for Terry Crews after seeing this.

The full talk with Agenda producer Elamin Abdelmahmoud can be found above, and is worth listening to. Crews believes, among other things, that America’s cultural mindset encourages rape and that feminism is necessary for the progression of society.

Crews also goes out of his way to explain why feminism is so important. By refusing to speak up for the rights of women, Crews argues, men who know better are implicitly reinforcing sexist institutions and beliefs. “Let’s not even go back to slavery, let’s go to civil rights: the people who were silent at the lunch counters, when it was the black lunch counter and the white one. … [If] you were quiet, you were accepting it,” Crews noted. “Same thing with men right now. If you don’t say anything, you are, by your silence — it’s acceptance. I’m not going to be silent.”
