I understand your point. But don't you think that the statement "black lives matter" to a white person has some weird underlying assumption that the white person somehow thinks "black lives don't matter"? I mean , isn't at least a little insulting, in that it assumed that the white person needs to be reminded and lectured that black lives matter?
Particularly in light of outrageous black on black homicide and crazy disregard for black life by blacks? Personally, I'd feel better if instead of lecturing white people with an inane slogan that white people already agree with, if black people repeated it like a mantra under their breath before they went out on the street and killed each the approximately 9000 times they kill one another each year.

And that all white people are racist

Insulting at best, racist at worse. Blaming racism for all black problems and calling whites racist has been done so often that it has lost shock value. It just doesn't work anymore...so the insulting perception that "black lives matter" indicates that whites are racist is dismissed. Either that, or it's interpreted as "non-black lives don't really matter"....in which case it's dismissed as openly racist and hateful.
This is why "black lives matter" is not considered a good-faith movement even before its supporters start looting and rioting.

most certainly
there is a large segment of blacks that believe all white are racists, and yes, that is insulting to a non racist white person
I also believe that the BLM "movement" has been hijacked by more "radical" or racist blacks, and at the core of the movement, there are things that you and me can agree on that need to change
I just wish the reasonable blacks were more vocal
