He seems to have gotten faster results than the ladies and their claims.
He's not asking for support. He's just reinstating why he didn't say anything, because had he said something about it then we would have laughed and that exec would have used it to black list him and kill his career in order to save his own reputation in the public eye. He's saying black women showed support but fellas looked down and scoffed or laughed.
It's easy to laugh at shit like that and a whole nother to be in the situation. In the workplace some people deal with scenarios like that and make a decision to
Sacrifice their pride to put food on the table for their families. Which is what Crews did until he was prominent enough and the social environment was in his favor to lash at dude. Niggas out here complaining about their 9-5 but Hollywood is a whole nother beast mired with dozens of careers that never were or had a spark and got put out. I don't condone or condemn but I understand where Crews is coming from and why he said what he said.
This post is why he kept quiet the first time. What if you were in a space where you got a kid on the way, meagre savings and one shot at success and you hear a powerful man or manager say some racist shit about mexicans or whatever ? How do you react ? How do you position yourself then ? Do you dip ? Do you go on a crusade to have the manager thrown out ? Where do you find the supporters who will believe you ? Then we wonder why he kept it quiet ?
Terry Crews 25 years ago wasn't exactly commanding roles like Denzel or Jamie. What if you go out and say something and no one believes you which is often the case. Big black man in Hollywood, Dark skin, ex NFL athlete the white man's nightmare as they say. I'm sure Crews would love to have fought and killed the nigga he grew up in Flint Michigan and LA. Some women go through that shit everyday with sexual harrassment some of your mothers might have seen that (no disrespect).
