Don't be that guy. Highlighting a particular group in need of attention doesn’t need a knee jerk reaction that all groups are equal. That’s like the older brother having a tantrum when the father throws a party for the prodigal son. To me, it’s like how the lost sheep was treated specially by the shepherd, how the lost son was treated specially by the Father. Black lives matter (the idea at least- I can’t vouch for the whole movement which is multifaceted) is a way of pointing out what is lacking is our priorities, very similar to how Jesus said “blessed are the poor in spirit” without qualifying it with “blessed are everyone”.

Black lives matter the movement is not the blessed are the poor in spirit. It is an anti family, Marxist movement that ripped apart cities out of ungodliness, literaly first and foremost through billions of dollars of damage, and spiritually through causing an either or division. It is laudable to frame the issue as something like "we have been deprioritizing black lives, so the phrase black lives matter is to remind us that they really do matter". 100% this is true and I do not in any way mean to take away from this truth.
But everyone knows this on both sides and sees past it. We all feel that African Americans are hurting. Everyone also sees that the vast majority of those in the movement hate white people, straight out. It is a veiled attempt to claim being above criticism, which is why you can see the hatred in the eyes of those who hate white people when someone says "all lives matter". And we all see this too, nobody needs to pretend we don't all see it.
People are foolish, and both sides do nothing but fuel hate as all see the hate, but most choose the hate they find most palatable. You are never going to convince the vast majority of white people, because they have seen this hate toward them. The whole well is poisoned, we should move on and attempt racial reconciliation via a different tactic. Maybe a different political slogan will work next time.
