However, when someone creates the slogan that "Black Lives Matter", it seems to me those making the statement think only black lives matter.
To make a relatively simple comparison:
Those who state "God bless America" think God only blesses America, when in fact wouldn't God bless the world?
Therefore, it is not just that black lives matter. In fact, all lives matter.
Why did you interpret it as "only Black lives matter" instead of interpreting it as "Black lives matter too", I wonder? Your bias is telling.
P.S. Don't try and justify it. My question was rhetorical.
"Black lives matter" means "black lives matter" and the point is that black lives matter when a lot of people behave as if they don't. So, ergo, black lives matter too, is the point.
If the group was really the black supremacist group that you're pretending that it is then it wouldn't be called "Black Lives Matter" it would be called "Black People Are Superior." or "Fuck White People".

This is no surprise to me because you often fail to see your own logical errors on a daily basis. You also fail to recognize logical validity when you see it. I reckon your reason for these repeated failures is because you're not as remotely as smart as you at least come across as thinking that you think you are. You also at least come across of being a fan of brutal honesty so here it is.
^^^^^^^ BINGO
And if these ignorant idiots would pull their heads out of their asses and look at history they would know that while blacks have for 400 years gotten most of the brunt of this, and are still wrongfully looked at with suspicion, you can look at how even Irish and Italian migrants were treated when their mass migrations started. It is why many also forget up until the 1980s anti Semitism was widespread in America. Nixon not only profiled blacks but also did not trust Jews. It is also unfortunately why America turned away a boat full of Jews during WW2.
The point is if you don't accept that inequities exist that society is doomed to repeat very horrible histories.
"All lives matter" is simply ignorant because it is burring your head in the sand as an excuse to ignore that others are affected by the economy and justice system more negatively on average.
It would be like WW2 Germans saying, "Arian Lives Matter".
I agree, when blacks use "Black Lives Matter", they are not saying "blacks are superior to whites". They are rightfully saying "Stop trampling on us, stop ignoring us, just listen to us".
This ignorance is also why I get very pissed at people talking about Hispanics as if they come from a different planet, or that Arabs come from a different planet. Most humans are NOT violent and when they migrate, MOST simply are trying to survive.
Blacks have every right as any human would, to stand up for themselves and neither they or whites that support them are trying to act superior. There still remains inequity and unless that is addressed, our future will get worse for more and more.
