You are making a false equivalence here. I can (and do) believe that black people are fully human and their lives matter.

I can also agree with certain points of the BLM movement, again, disagreeing with their reasoning, but supporting some the overarching ideas.

> The entire point of the political movement is to recognize that black people are people too

Based upon their website[0], they seem to have a much broader idea of "what matters" that goes far beyond "black people are people to" that will, undoubtedly, cause many people to shy away from the hashtag (but not the sentence).

Again, I think the George Floyd's killing, underscores a massive problem that needs to be justified, but you don't have to agree with BLM to want to see that problem solved.
