Is your argument that a genuine, good faith interpretation of "Black Lives Matter" is "Only Black Lives Matter"?

This isn't how English works. If I say "I like your mom" to an SO, they wouldn't interpret it as I don't like them and instead like their mom. I don't have to say "I like your mom too".

Anyone coming back with "all lives matter" proves the ease of confusion over the slogan.

My own immediate response to it was "Yah, of course they do. All lives matter. Why single out Black lives? The police shouldn't be killing anyone."

I'm not going to try mind read anyone else.
