After Pink posted this message, many fans appreciated her for supporting the black lives matter cause. Some fans did not agree with her. Many of them explained to her why it is important to say, “All Lives Matter” and not just support a cause like “Black Lives Matter”.

One fan wrote, “I am not sure why it’s a trigger to say all lives matter because it’s the truth”. “George Floyd was Black but he was more than that. He was a human being and should be relatable to all of us”. “I see it as bad cops (of many different race) were involved. It’s about the value of life beyond labels”.

Another fan wrote, “Another celebrity telling people what to think. Let people think what they believe”. While one fan condemned the looting taking place during these protests. She wrote, “I don’t understand the looting. Those people didn’t do a friggin thing. So just take your anger out on people just trying to live. I hate looters. Looting is not a positive way”.
