supporter
Well-known representatives are the African American Senator Tim Scott and the black American football player Richard Sherman . The black politician Ben Carson is also a supporter of All Lives Matter. Senator Rand Paul commented on Black Lives: "I think they should change their name maybe - if they were All Lives Matter, or Innocent Lives Matter." "I think they should maybe change their name - if they were All Lives Matter, or Innocent Lives Matter. ")
In 2016, presidential candidate (and later president) Donald Trump claimed that Black Lives Matter was a divisive and racist term.
During an appearance during the 2016 MLB All-Star Game , Remigio Pereira, a member of the Canadian Tenors , held up an "All Lives Matter" sign and changed some of the lyrics of the anthem O Canada . Pereira was subsequently suspended indefinitely.
Activists from Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter hit the headlines in July 2016 when they hugged in a "clash" in Dallas . "We are all brothers and sisters," said one of the protesters on CNN , "This is how you kick a wall."
Controversial American rapper XXXTentacion came under fire in 2017 when he featured the movement in the music video for his hit Look at Me! supported. The video showed him - a black man - hanging up a white child. After criticism, he said the aim of the video was to show that "you can't justify the fact that I murdered a child ... I'm trying to show that murder is murder".
Demonstrations
In June 2020 a demonstration of neo-Nazis took place in Karlsruhe under the motto "All Lives Matter", which was organized by the former NPD activist Jonathan Stumpf. 50 people took part in the demonstration.
In the small town of Bethel, Ohio , participants in a Black Lives Matter demonstration were attacked by armed counter-demonstrators from the All Lives Matter movement.
In the state of Oregon there was a demonstration by All Lives Matter, who protested against the raising of a Black Lives Matter flag at a town hall. Eyewitnesses reported that a participant in the All Lives Matter demonstration aimed a gun at counter-demonstrators.
criticism
David Theo Goldberg , Director of the University of California Humanities Research Institute at the University of California , wrote in 2015: “All Lives Matter” is a matter of course, close to a cliché. The insistence on “Black Lives Matter” is necessary because in the USA, in contrast to “All Lives Matter”, black lives are too often viewed as unimportant. It is therefore necessary to shout “Black Lives Matter” because society continues to provide evidence that “All Lives Matter” does not apply to many black people.
reception
Fabian Wolff ( Die Zeit ) sees All Lives Matter as a defiant reaction to an alleged one-sidedness of the slogan Black Lives Matter.
