Pink slams trollers for belittling her support to the Black movement

Popstar Pink has hit back at people trolling her for extending support to the Black Lives Matter movement, which has enraged in the US following the death of George Floyd.

The 40-year-old star got trolled after she shared a screenshot of Billie Eilish's statement, in which she addressed white privilege and the problem with the All Lives Matter movement, on her Instagram feed, reports usmagazine.com.

"Totally get where you're coming from. However, as a person with a lawyer brain, I have to say... when you single out one race and say 'that' race matters. You are implicitly saying other races don't matter as much. It is automatically inferred. I believe it does this situation a disjustice by putting it in the #blacklivesmatter category. This could happen to ANY ONE OF US! THAT is the atrocity! THAT is the REAL issue. It is not about race," wrote one user.

Pink retorted to the negative comment, saying: "You are the epitome of white privilege and the saddest part is that you don't even hear yourself and probably never will."

Another person wrote, "All Business Owners Life's Matter too", to which she replied: "So you can't read." Another user called the singer "stupid", to which she responded: "What an insightful and helpful comment."

In her statement, Billie Eilish had explained why a seemingly positive phrase "all lives matter" is actually hurtful. (IANS)
