They convince themselves that BLM means:
ONLY Black Lives Matter

When it actually is meant as:
Black Lives Matter TOO

OF COURSE all lives matter. Of course there are underprivileged white people that get harassed and killed too. Although I doubt that is who this man is concerned about. But ffs, can't these whites, who twist the acronym to suit their own whitewashing of any systemic problem, just simply allow others to express how THEY define the statement?
