We’ll admit it: we didn’t know there was such a thing as the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect until it issued a tweet calling for the firing of White House Sean Spicer after his alleged “Holocaust denial” presser in April.
We did know, however, that the clause “All Lives Matter” is all but forbidden. Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley quickly apologized for saying it on stage at the progressive Netroots Nation conference, and DeRay Mckesson called out Hillary Clinton for her “ill-fated use” of the term during a speech.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard any complaints, but Friday, after Officer Jeronimo Yanez was acquitted of manslaughter in the death of Philando Castile, the Anne Frank Center let Americans know that “All Lives Matter” was off limits.

What James Woods said.
If you really believe all lives matter, you would never substitute All Lives Matter for #BlackLivesMatter.

So … if you really believe that all lives matter, you’d never say it.
That is so stupid and irrational it's frightening

Just…wow.

OK, I'll admit that I am not a genius. I read this remark 10 times, word by word, and still don't know what it means.

That doesn't even make any sense.

Crazy liberals just string words together. They don't have to make sense – just incite violence

@annefrankcenter If all lives don't matter….then how can black lives matter? Twisted rationale.
— Elise Young (@alysenwonderlnd) June 17, 2017
Dang…does that mean that only selected lives matter?

As an African-American, I feel ALL lives DO matter!

I do not believe the leadership of the @AnneFrankCenter represent Anne anymore that the @ACLU represents me as an American. So much hate.

#AnneFrank would be so proud of whoever is running this organization.

This is textbook Communist/Socialist propaganda. Identify with the oppressed group (Blacks) & identify and oppose the oppressors (Whites)

putting down one group of people to hold up another is ridiculous. It doesn't work so learn how to be civil to each other & try listening

So, tell me whose lives DON'T matter, AnneFrankCenter.
— Hippogyn (@hippogyn) June 17, 2017
All lives matter !!!

Anyone who thought the Anne Frank Center’s take on “All Lives Matter” was thought-provoking is welcome to its take on Wednesday morning’s shooting targeting Republican members of Congress.
A TEACHING MOMENT. pic.twitter.com/yMOBwbgrFE
