 Wednesday, Jul 1st 2020| 4.6k A Harvard graduate threatened to stab the next person on campus who says 'All Lives Matter'.Claira Janover criticized the slogan in a satirical video on social media.She said it was the equivalent of a paper cut compared to a knife wound for black people.Janover took to video sharing platform TikTok to denounce people who had the 'caucasity' to use the controversial slogan which has been condemned as detracting from the suffering of black communities.'Caucasity' is a slang term used to describe the act of doing something with the 'audacity of white privilege'. Janover, who has 113,000 followers on TikTok, can be heard saying in the clip: 'The next person who has the sheer nerve, the sheer entitled caucasity to say 'All Lives Matter', imma stab you.'Imma stab you and while you're struggling and bleeding out, imma show you my paper cut and say 'my cut matters too''.'  According to Janover's LinkedIn page, she is a Government and Psychology graduate from Harvard University. Her profile also states that she worked as a business analyst for accounting firm Deloitte and has volunteered for the Connecticut Democrats. Her comments sparked backlash online, with some taking issue with the way in which Janover had expressed her view. 'Harvard senior Claira Janover threatens to stab anyone who says "all lives matter." Will liberal colleges and universities ever teach students that speech ≠ violence?' one person said. Another Twitter user wrote: 'Is there something in the water that these crazy liberals drink? This Harvard Leftist threatened to stab anyone on campus who says 'all lives matter?'' Others praised Janover for taking a stance against racism, and pointed out that her video was intended as 'satire'.  '#ClairaJanover is articulate, educated and brave. It's obvious that the republicans are threatened! Your critical thinking scares them love. @cyanover we are with you!!' one supporter wrote.  Harvard University has taken a stance against racism and police brutality in the wake of George Floyd's death. In a statement published online, the university said: 'We are outraged by the countless deaths of Black people at the hands of police officers and citizens caused by a system that treats Black people as expendable... 'As many students across the nation and world engage as citizens and leaders in protesting violence against Black communities, we affirm their rights and freedoms to peacefully protest. 'We stand in solidarity with these students and support their work to end systemic racism in this country. Students who exercise their rights by peacefully protesting will not have their chances of admission compromised.''All Lives Matter' is a controversial slogan that has arisen in response to the Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of George Floyd's death. It has been criticized as erasing the experiences of black people and dismissing the racism that African-Americans and black communities across the world face.  Giant US retailer Walmart recently announced it would discontinue sales of 'All Lives Matter' T-shirts on its website after it came under fire for selling the merchandise amid protests calling for an end to systemic racism and police brutality against the black community.  The All Lives Matter items sold on the store's US website are advertised by a company called Old Glory. A company called New Way sells merchandise for the police solidarity Blue Lives Matter movement. Walmart also sells an array of clothing.  Critics blasted the company saying selling such controversial items detracts from the Black Lives Matter movement.  Share what you thinkThe comments below have been moderated in advance.The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline.Post comment to your Facebook TimelineBy posting your comment you agree to our .Submit CommentClearDo you want to automatically post your MailOnline comments to your Facebook Timeline?Your comment will be posted to MailOnline as usual. NoYesDo you want to automatically post your MailOnline comments to your Facebook Timeline?Your comment will be posted to MailOnline as usualWe will automatically post your comment and a link to the news story to your Facebook timeline at the same time it is posted on MailOnline.
