The Problem with Saying #AllLivesMatter

4. The Problem With the System

When prompted on the issue of #AllLivesMatter vs #BlackLivesMatter, Lea DeLaria, the actress who kills it as Boo on Orange Is the New Black, said basic misinformation in the American society was to blame. “Black Lives Matter doesn’t mean that all lives don’t matter,” the actress said, adding, “What it means is that black lives matter do as well. And we live in a society that unfortunately teaches people — and usually it is the people that are hashtagging #AllLivesMatter — that black lives are less important than theirs. And anybody that lives in America and thinks that that isn’t taught is a f—king idiot and surrounded by an information-proof shield and is probably a racist.”
