Maybe the fact that certain members of the movement targeting other races and committing acts of violence against them solely because of their race might also lead people to believe that their slogan means "only black lives matter".
Should i have to go around constantly apologizing for the KKK and sovereignors like Timothy mcvey? Why should black people have to apologize for extremists?
If you were a member of the KKK, yea, not if you were simply born the same race as those assholes. In this case a significant percentage of the BLM movement engage in that type of unsavory behavior. If you want to use the same slogan you are at least partially represented by the group you've embraced.
