Jerry Seinfeld Made a Black Lives Matter Joke and Twitter Promptly Clapped Back

Social media ripped him to shreds.

Jerry Seinfeld has a new installment of hit online series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. In taking to social media to promote it, he somehow decided to tweet a Black Lives Matter pun that fell flat, prompting several of his 4 million followers to ask, "Why, Jerry?"

See what Lil Wayne had to say about the movement in the video above.

  • In the tweet, above an article detailing the premise of the show and those involved in it, he wrote, "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. Lewis Black. Black's life matters."

    Yeah, that wasn't the smartest idea, buddy. Take a look below:

  • Enraged Twitter users wasted no time in roasting the comedian for his comments.
