'Friday Night In With The Morgans': Colman Domingo and Yvette Nicole Brown on why supporting good cops matters
AMC's 'Friday Night In With The Morgans' is taking a break from its usual programming for a one-hour special featuring Colman Domingo and Yvette Nicole Brown talking about systemic racism, Black Lives Matter and everything that's going on in the country right now. And one particularly controversial issue that was addressed on the show hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton Morgan was the Blue Lives Matter movement.
Brown and Domingo spoke about how there are most certainly more good cops than bad in the country but that the phrase Blue Lives Matter has become too closely associated with opposition to Black Lives Matter. According to them, it is important to find ways to support good cops without using such a divisive phrase. "@colmandomingo very well stated! I think there are more good cops than bad," one fan wrote on Twitter. "We have to support the good and weed out the bad!!! Every life matters #FridayNightInWithTheMorgans."
Jeffrey commented on it as well saying that "nothing matters until black lives matter" and the fans appear to be loving it. "#FridayNightInWithTheMorgans @JDMorgan @HilarieBurton @YNB @colmandomingo THANK YOU for talking about that touchy subject of blue lives matter, and yes Jeff 100% 'Nothing matters until black lives matter' thank you for saying that," a fan tweeted. "People really need to understand that."
"EXACTLY. Blue Lives Matter is something said to silence the movement," another fan wrote. "You can care for your cop friends and family but you don’t need to silence the movement to do it. @HilarieBurton @YNB #FridayNightInWithTheMorgans." The same fan also followed up with a separate tweet writing, "I feel like so many people can stand to learn something from this episode. Please listen up. Please invite your friends to listen and learn. @HilarieBurton #FridayNightInWithTheMorgans." Another said, "@JDMorgan @HilarieBurton Thank you for tonight’s really important episode." One more wrote, "Truly listening, learning & appreciating the conversation. Extremely informative. #FridayNightInWithTheMorgans."
'Friday Night In With The Morgans' airs Fridays at 10 pm ET, only on AMC.
