You missed the point of BLM. The issues they champion are endemic to their group. Assuming you're white, you will never be pulled over for being too white. You're significantly less likely to be shot by cops, or in general iirc. By saying "all Americans matter", you diminish their cause by trying to assume their issues as your own. I disagree with you.
But I get it. Their leaders are loud and black. To some, that might be scary. It's also hard to criticize that group because their followers are the first to discredit you as a racist. How can you argue that, am I right? I'm white, so I don't understand, so I'm a racist. Life's funny some times, but this is why we will never see a consensus on the internet with "#________ Lives Matter"
