I understand what you are saying. I agree, but since they went as far as they did, it's ALL Lives Matter now,That's the thing, the perception in the black community is that black lives don't matter. Of course, black lives do in fact matter as do all lives including the unborn but the way media portrays it is to keep us apart rather than a part of a bigger community of all lives.
By saying "Black Lives Matter" they are telling everyone else that only black lives matter. If they had said at the beginning "Black Lives Matter Too", everyone in the United States would have said collectively "Yes" and backed the cause.

Yes, I get your point and it's spot-on. Black Lives Matter Too would have been better than Black Lives Matter because it isn't exclusive in placing one group over another in any way. A good measure of a vibrant organization can be found in it's inclusiveness policy.Would it not had been better to say "Black Lives Matter Too"?
