For the same reason that a breast cancer rally calls itself Breast Cancer Awareness.
But then they focus on breast cancer.
His point was plainly obvious.
If there's a movement focusing on Islamophobia, transgender rights, racial sexism, classism and racism then why call the group black lives matter.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
