Henson went to Instagram Tuesday (October 11) to co-sign Ben & Jerry’s controversial announcement.

  1. TO HELL WITH BLACK LIVES  MATTER, I LIVED IN CHICAGO  I HAVE FAMILY  THAT IS STILL THERE BLACK LIVES  GETTING  KILLED  EVERYDAY  BY THE HANDS OF BLACK LIVES AND YOU DON’T  HEAR  A PEEP OUT OF THAT PHONY ASS  GROUP!!!!.

    • Let me give you an example of something. If you have termites, you call Terminex. If you have roaches, you call an exterminator. Terminex doesn’t deal with roaches. BLM doesnt deal with Black to Black crime.

    • Sweet heart once someone takes an oath to serve and protect that’s where it changes. Not saying it’s right but for the ones who are still out there doing unjust acts of violence we do want them to be locked. As a black man in America it’s hard to live without being judged. Some of us need help but look how racist alot whites are being towards BLACK LIVES MATTER instead of trying to help they want there to be more segregation which only ends up to be hate.why kant we all just kum together in hear the ones who are having problems out?

  2. Screw Black Lives Matter. All lives matter. I heard some screwball call all lives matter the new racial slur.

  3. If all lives matter why are blacks judged so badly? One apple kant screw it up for the whole bunch.

  4. I agree more needs to be done about black on black murder. However, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to say black lives matter. I really don’t get the outrage. If white ppl were treated the way Blacks are treated I wouldn’t blame them for crying out for equality and having their value recognized. Example: Someone says “apple now & Laters are sweet”. The response is ” all now & laters are sweet”. The latter doesn’t make the former any less factual. This BLM movement didn’t just come from anywhere. Anyone that disagrees with this movement should all themselves where did it come from. Also, why has it lasted so long w/o fizzling out?
