One of the most consistent responses to the idea that “Black Lives Matter” is the phrase “All Lives Matter.” Along with that, some have suggested that BLM is really a hate group that is racist against White people. Now, Seriously.TV has put together a video showing just how ridiculous all of that is.

The steps in the video include never doing any research, pretending as though Black movie villains are real, falsely invoking Martin Luther King, Jr’s legacy, picking a vile hate group like the KKK to compare to BLM, speaking loudly into cameras, and ignoring the irony of the comparison altogether. And, while this is meant to get a laugh out of its viewers, it is a stark reminder that people will ignore all logic to denigrate and undermine the Movement for Black Lives.
