Terry Crews.
“The Expendables” actor then brought up the recent spate of gun violence that claimed the lives of multiple children over the past couple of weeks.
“It’s [the movement] got to be all black lives matter,” he said, adding that “black people need to hold other black people accountable.”
However, Lemon clapped back by saying BLM’s focus is not black-on-black crime. “If you want an all Black Lives Matter movement that talks about gun violence in communities, including black communities, then start that movement,” scolded the CNN Host, analogizing Crews’ statement to asking a cancer group why they aren’t “talking about HIV.”
However, Crews contended that “police brutality is not the only thing they’re [BLM] talking about.”
Lemon countered by saying, “Black Lives Matter is about police brutality and about criminal justice. It’s not about what happens in communities when it comes to crime. People who live near each other, black people, kill each other. Same as whites … it happens in every single neighborhood.”

Is this story not getting coverage because the focus of BLM is about police brutality and criminal justice only? I confess I am totally confused now. I need to educate myself. Thank you for understanding that I am in the learning process.
