Obviously a joke demonstrating the idiocy of the All Lives Matter movement.
No reasonable person would take that as a threat. Mind you, you aren't dealing with reasonable people here, but still there was no actual threat.
This wasn't stupidity on her part, this is either (a) the company not wanting to have an employee who supports BLM, or (b) the employee lost their job due to the travel ban and couldn't actually get to the UK to work and are trying to politicize this to get their job (which they can't get to) back.

LOL come on fellas. It was a stupid thing to put out on social media and it's no different than any other person that has lost their jobs for saying dumb things on social media that may not represent the values of the company. We have got to the point where context no longer matters regardless and you can't pick and choose what dumb jokes are acceptable and what's not. Be dumb on social media and you can lose your job end of story.
