“First it was hands up, don’t shoot, then it was burning down buildings and looting drug stores, all the way to #OscarSoWhite. And now, even the Super Bowl halftime show has become a way to politicize and advance the notion that black lives matter more,” Lahren complained during her Tuesday show.
“Good for you, you made headlines. You’re just like President Obama, Jada Pinkett Smith, Al Sharpton and so many others just can’t let America heal, keep ripping off the historical Band-Aid. Why be a cultural leader when you can play the victim, right?”
A day after Lahren’s awkward rant, Hip Hollywood’s Eric Berry blasted her remarks in a column on February 10, referring to them as “total lunacy”.
“What Tomi gets, but will not admit because she’s a paid GOP troll, is that the #BLM message has always been ‘Black lives matter’. Not more. Just matter,” he wrote. “Beyonce and so many others like her are not using their voices to abolish slavery, or lobby congress to establish a 15th Amendment, so the ‘historical bandaid’ line is nutter (not to be confused with utter) nonsense.
“Lahren’s real issue with Beyonce’s militant dance off with Bruno Mars becomes apparent: that being what gives this Black entertainer the right to publicly denounce the unjustified murders of Black civilians instead of entertaining me.” he added
