Every life matters.
This is a bizarre world we live in, and it’s now taboo for us to make such an assertion. It was perhaps for this reason that Ahmaud Albery’s father stated, after hearing the jury verdicts on his son’s death, “all lives matter”, with Al Sharpton watching over his shoulder, it needed to be swiftly dealt with. The way was clear. Newsweek The way we handled Marcus Arbery’s “heresy”, was to pretend that we didn’t really hear him saying what we clearly heard.
On Wednesday, Newsweek Khalida Rahman, reporter tried to change history when she declared that Ahmaud’s father did not say ‘All Lives Matter.’
After three men were found guilty of killing Ahmaud, Ahmaud’s father spoke out in front of the media outside a Georgia courthouse.
Marcus Arbery Sr. was misquoted by reporters and outlets. However, this suggests that he may have used a controversial slogan which is often associated with the criticism of Black Lives Matter.
Numerous tweets that claimed Arbery said “all life matters” were viral.
His actual statement was that “all lives matter”, as he talked about how he didn’t want another family losing a child in the same way as he lost his son.
All life matters? It is not grammatically correct (“All life matters”), but it also has a distinction that does not make a difference. The people who said Marcus Arbery had told them that “all life matters” are correct, despite Rahman’s absurd explanation. Even at the Newsweek YouTube video of Marcus Arbery speaking they made sure to use the text “all life matters” (which is grammatically correct but contrary to the Newsweek article version) when he was actually saying “all lives matter.”
But this absurd rewriting of history does not end there Newsweek. YouTube was also complicit. When you click the “Open Transcript” for this video, at the 1:03 mark they have Arbery saying “for real old mountain hold on.” Nothing even close to resembling “all lives matter” appears. Marcus Arbery also says “all live matter” on YouTube. However, the transcripts are not available. NewsweekYou can skip the video section entirely in your transcripts.
Because the YouTube transcripts are AI generated it is likely that human intervention was required to “all lives matter” through the YouTube transcript memory hole. It begs the obvious question: If YouTube changed Marcus Arbery’s statement, then how many other transcripts were altered when they presented inconvenient statements which contradict the approved narrative.
