Rozonda Chilli Thomas, a member of the all-black female hip-hop group TLC, came under fireon social media when she insisted that all lives matter instead of aligning her views with the Black Lives Matter movement.

During a May 9 interview that made waves Wednesday on social media, Thomas faced questionsfrom UKs Channel 4 News about being a black female in America, as well as herthoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement.

Another issue thats been highlighted in both the USA and the UK is the Black Lives Matter movement, reporter Jasmine Dotiwala began. Did you guys feel strongly about it when it was kicking off in America? Did you go on any marches? Did you go on any anti-Trump marches?

Thomas answered:

I personally didnt go into any marches, or anything like that, but for me, all lives matter, you know what I mean? Because there is a time when different groups are targeted for different things, you know what Im saying? So, I just think that, just the whole you know what happened with the police brutality against these young black boys and stuff like that, all of that kind of stuff is wrong, even if it was a caucasian teen kid that this was happening to or whatever. Its just not right.

She said that law enforcement sometimes takes things too far and that those in law enforcement should be vetted more heavily.

Some people take that authoritative position, and go crazy with it obviously, Thomas said. I think that before people are hired in these positions, they need to do some kind of better background check on them, or mental stability kind of check on them to see if they can really handle being in a position like that.

Tionne T-Boz Watkins another member of TLC and a former Celebrity Apprentice contestant added her two cents about policemen, claiming that copsstick together: That color sticks together too, blue, they stick together. Theyre not going to tell on each other.

Watkins also noted that she doesnt care about President Donald Trump, noting that his presidency doesnt affect her life.

I dont care about Donald Trump, Watkins said. God is my president, so I just feel sorry for people it affects, but I dont care about him.

When asked if they think Trump is a scrub, T-Boz laughed before adding, It doesnt bother me I worked on Celebrity Apprentice when he wasnt president and I wasnt too fond of him then. So I dont care really.

Twitter users disagreed a lot:
