During a recent appearance on British news program Chili from the group TLC became the latest to feel the heat of the black community by declaring “all lives matter.”
Appearing on the UK Channel 4 news, the interviewer brings up the Black Lives Matter movement and it’s importance in England and the U.S. She then asks how heavily the Atlanta-based duo are involved and Chili responded,
“I personally didn’t go into any marches, or anything like that, but for me, all lives matter, you know what I mean?” she said. “Because there is a time when different groups are targeted for different things, you know what I’m saying? So, I just think that, just the whole—what happened, police brutality, against these young black boys, all of that kind of stuff is wrong, even if it was a Caucasian teen kid that this was happening to or whatever.”
T-Boz didn’t respond to the BLM question but offered the following when asked how it felt to be a black female during Trump’s run,
“I don’t care about Donald Trump, so, I mean, God is my president,” she said. “I just feel sorry for the people it affects, but I don’t care about him.”
Of course fans of TLC, the same ones that contributed to the kickstarter campaign created to raise funds to record the album, had a field day. To see twitter reactions, flip the pages.
