If Black Lives Matter had not been formed as a means of protesting unarmed blacks being killed by police, you might have a point. It’s not to say that White Lives Don’t Matter, but you already know that.
No, that's exactly what it means, because whites get shot by police disproportionately more often than blacks. In other words, BLM is based on a fake grievance that was manufactured to hurt white people.

Well "whites" may get shot more by police due to being a majority of the population but do they die in a higher proportion than blacks?
No they don't in percentage wise.
BLM didn't arise from hating cops but how many black men just under arrest have died under a police officer's hand.
If white people were being murdered by cops at the same rate as blacks there would be Congressional hearings so please stop "feigning" the hypocrisy.
200 or so members of League of the South, the Traditionalist Worker’s Party, National Socialist Movement, Vanguard America, ... showed up in Shelbyville around 11:30 am, about an hour and a half late.
About twice that many counter-protesters were waiting, many singing Christian hymns that drowned out the speeches and "Blood and soil" chanting.
At 1:00 pm the protesters marched out and folks dispersed to Murfreesboro where the next rally was scheduled to start at 2:00 pm.
"owing to the much larger population, proximity to Nashville, and the presence of Middle Tennessee State University in the town," they were outnumbered there as well.
Unfortunately, less than a dozen protesters showed. Apparently, these unfortunate fellows didn't get the tweet from Hunter Wallace, head of public relations for the League of the South, that they were withdrawing to a state park about 45 minutes away.
"As word circulated that the supremacists had given up on their rally, the crowd in Murfreesboro became jubilant."
"They thought they could come here and talk ****," said Teazy, a local man who identified himself as being of mixed race. "They're obviously outnumbered. Love always wins."
Another interesting tidbit is from Brad Griffin, public relations chief for The League of the South, who stated that that since the police protected them well at a previous rally in Shelbysville, the organization trusted local law enforcement to protect them well again.
"The demographics of the cities also played a role in the decision. Both Shelbyville, with about 20,000 people, and Murfreesboro, with about 130,000 people, are in more rural counties that heavily favored President Donald Trump in the 2016 election."
they might as well call themselves "Black Lives Don't Matter"
because by appropriating that slogan and making it about white people, that's exactly what they're saying.
What you are saying is exactly the same thing that blacks are doing.
So black lives matter, And white lived don't matter. Is that it.
All Lives Mater.
