Dude, their tag isn't #Blacklivesmatterandtheyaretheonlyoneswhosufferoraredeservingofattentionfortheirsuffering.
Then why not #AllLivesMatter? Why use the word black unless you were specifically implying that they need to focus on blacks over anyone else?
I think it is because blacks are treated less humanely -especially by those employed to keep the peace- way too often simply because they are black. There may be other characteristics which also get you treated less humanely. Like being a skin head or being poor. But of the things you can't choose to change, there is nothing which lowers your chances of humane treatment more than being black. This is obvious.
