The Problem with Saying #AllLivesMatter

3. Women’s Rights vs Human Rights

Rapper and actor (but mostly actor at this point) Ice-T had some words of wisdom on the topic. When asked, he explained, “[When] I say ‘black lives matter,’ and you say ‘all lives matter,’ that’s like you saying, ‘women’s rights’ and I say, ‘human rights.’ It dilutes what you’re saying …” Of course, the SVU alum added that the movement could have broader implications, saying, “But here’s the big thing to Black Lives Matter: Black people have to understand that black lives matter also. We’re killing ourselves at a far more alarming rate than the police are killing us. So we have to address our black-on-black crime, our stuff that’s going on in the hood also, along with police brutality. That’s the big problem.”
