Piers Morgan Accused Of 'Missing The Point' With His #BlackLivesMatter Retort

ALL lives matter. > RT @marclamonthill ALL black lives matter.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 21, 2015

Why does this need to be said, Piers? Has the legitimacy of White lives ever been in dispute? https://t.co/t2QaCgjgLv

Is saying ‘All lives matter’ really that contentious? I mean, REALLY?

@piersmorgan doesn't understand that "All Lives Matter" isn't valid in today's world which is why #BlackLivesMatter is necessary 😴

So @piersmorgan, if you say ALL lives matter, why do missing Black women get ignored but missing white women lead the news? @marclamonthill

#BlackLivesMatter doesn't mean other lives don't. Like people who say "Save The Rainforests" aren't saying "Fuck All Other Types of Forests"

@piersmorgan as you know, marginalized voices often have to be LOUDER than status quo to eventually become equal. See: Gay Marriage

@piersmorgan yes all human beings lives matter but you can't deny the undeniable racism against minorities so let's not switch narratives

@DearLeader10@piersmorgan listen, Piers, the ONLY time people say "All Lives Matter" is to negate the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

If ALL lives truly mattered, there would be no need to remind you of the silenced and marginalized Black ones @piersmorgan@marclamonthill

@ArthurKRichards@piersmorgan There's nothing reactionary about all lives matter. black lives matter is reactionary and segregationist.

Can't believe I actually agree with @piersmorgan for once. The ridiculousness of the "Black Lives Matter" movement knows no bounds.

I'm sorry but what is wrong with saying 'All lives matter'. By denying that, you're feeding the division rhetoric. #equality@piersmorgan

I'm a black man. Of course I know #BlackLivesMatter. You can't boo a presidential candidate just b/c he says "all lives matter".

@marclamonthill I understand the context, but not sure the statement/hashtag works other than to cause more division.
