Uh, oh. Doesn’t Piers Morgan know he’s not allowed to say this any longer? Here he is responding to (trolling?) the HuffPo’s Marc Lamont Hill:
ALL lives matter. > RT @marclamonthill ALL black lives matter.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 21, 2015
Hill was quick to jump on the former CNN host, accusing Morgan of feeding “white supremacy”:
Why does this need to be said, Piers? Has the legitimacy of White lives ever been in in dispute? https://t.co/t2QaCgjgLv

But that's not the context, my friend. It's a response to systematic and systemic attacks on Black life. https://t.co/0tB3W1e78J

Affirming Black life doesn't negate others. But in a world that denies black life, it's important to highlight. https://t.co/0tB3W1e78J
— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) July 21, 2015
But the problem isn't the hashtag. It's that we live in a world that sees the affirmation of black life as divisive. https://t.co/Ik91bw4yEx
— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) July 21, 2015
But we live in a nation that doesn't view blacks as full human beings. Life=white life In the minds of many. https://t.co/doVA5SnjVM

We must separately and loudly proclaim the value of black life. THAT should be what brings us together. https://t.co/doVA5SnjVM

Of course I do. This isn't about u being racist.It's about not seeing how "all lives Matter" feeds white supremacy. https://t.co/ySGMRmKv7f

“All lives matter” now fuels “white supremacy”? Unreal.
Morgan, however, doesn’t get why everyone is so mad at him. Has he not been paying attention?
Is saying ‘All lives matter’ really that contentious? I mean, REALLY?

@marclamonthill I just prefer, respectfully, not to categorise the value of life according to skin colour.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 21, 2015
@marclamonthill I just prefer to affirm the value of life, regardless of colour. Let’s come together, not stay apart.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 21, 2015
@rolandsmartin @marclamonthill do you not agree that all lives matter then, Roland?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 21, 2015
@marclamonthill but there are millions of white lives that are devalued around the world too & treated appallingly.

It’s always fun watching liberals turn on each other.
