If you’re black in America, you’re expected to support Black Lives Matter hook, line, and sinker. The second you deviate, the insults of being an “Uncle Tom” come flying. And how dare any black person say all lives matter! That’s a sure way to get kicked off the liberal plantation.

Throwing that insulting punch was Laila Ali, daughter of famed boxer Muhammad Ali and a retired boxer herself. She appeared on Huffington Post Live and declared just that — all lives matter — and sent shockwaves through the BLM crowd.

Ali was asked to comment on Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest during the broadcast. She said she didn’t have a problem with him doing so, but she also doesn’t see it as a requirement for everyone:

“I commend Colina Kaepernick because he had a lot of courage…he knows what he’s talking about, he’s very passionate about it. He’s trying to speak up for people who can’t speak for themselves…

“But at the same time I don’t expect everybody to do it. Everybody’s not that individual. Everyone is not Colin, everybody’s not Muhammad. I’m not. I could be there on the front lines, but I’m a mom. I’m like, okay, trust me, I could be a soldier on the front lines but it’s, okay, you have to choose. Do I want to be at home with my kids or do I want to be a fighter and say ‘sorry kids mama has to go out and fight the world?’”

Later, she told host Jacques Morel Jr. that she wasn’t going to take a public stand on the Black Lives Matter movement because she views it as divisive and unhelpful for her livelihood. That’s when she uttered the most hated words in America:

“I don’t ever like to make people feel separate. By me not posting, it doesn’t mean that black lives don’t matter. To me, it’s obvious that black lives matter. And then… I’m like, what is posting going to do? What is speaking out going to do?

“Yes, black lives matter. Yes, white lives matter, Asian lives matter. All lives matter. And that’s kind of what my focus is. But it’s hard because, you know, you’ve got sponsors and you’ve got this and you’ve got that. And you don’t want to step on anybody’s toes. And you’re trying to be politically correct, but at the same time trying to uplift your people.”

But Ali’s personal choices be damned! She upset the social justice warriors who sped to their social media accounts to drag Ali through the mud, even projecting their thoughts about her father.

“Wow! So disappointing! Too bad she didn’t get her father’s courage and consciousness,” one wrote. “Gurl Bye!!!”

Another stated, “She don’t give a damn as long as she get her checks.”

“Nothing like her dad at all!”

“Seems to me that she’s more concerned about her white associations than her own people. Go ahead and stay quiet about your brothers and sisters will be waiting for you when your white daddy decides to kick you out. Peace my sister!”

You can feel the tolerance from here, can’t you?
