After being asked to comment on Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest, Laila Ali refused to take a public stand on the Black Lives Matter movement. She described it as divisive and unhelpful for her livelihood:

“I don’t ever like to make people feel separate. By me not posting, it doesn’t mean that black lives don’t matter. To me, it’s obvious that black lives matter. And then… I’m like, what is posting going to do? What is speaking out going to do?

“Yes, black lives matter. Yes, white lives matter, Asian lives matter. All lives matter. And that’s kind of what my focus is. But it’s hard because, you know, you’ve got sponsors and you’ve got this and you’ve got that. And you don’t want to step on anybody’s toes. And you’re trying to be politically correct, but at the same time trying to uplift your people.”
