Last week, Smith College president Kathleen McCartney apologized for writing a campus-wide e-mail in which she stated that “all lives matter.” Those words had been intended to show support for students and faculty members outraged by the recent Michael Brown and Eric Garner grand jury decisions, as well as for people protesting those decisions. McCartney soon found that protesters, who have helped popularize the phrase “Black Lives Matter” (now a viral hashtag) in the aftermath of the Brown and Garner cases, were not too pleased with her message. Fox News reports that some in the Smith College community thought that McCartney’s “more inclusive version of the [popular] refrain was…an affront that diminished the focus on black lives and racism.”
