There are some who might agree with you there. I am not one of them.
The point of "Black Lives Matter" is to remind people that black lives actually do matter, since they were being treated otherwise far too often in America.
"White Lives Matter" as a slogan should not be offensive at all. It's just not necessary today because the reminder is not needed for most people. I'm white and I can yell all day long that white lives matter. The response I'm expecting is "No shit!" Now I've accomplished exactly nothing, so why would I bother?
I don't believe you. Get over it.
