A movement started around 2014 considering the fact that black lives do, indeed, matter. Not a racist movement as many have proposed. It merely highlights the fact that black lives are discriminated against more so than any other lives, but it does not attempt to harm those other lives by virtue of itself. It does not claim superiority of race in traditional terms; rather, it is a movement for blacks, by blacks that considers the fact that as a group, blacks are appreciated less.
This does not mean that they consider other races beneath them, or unworthy of their attention. It means that they want to highlight the injustice of black lives not having as much consideration or 'love' as other races, even Asian (including Indian and others) or Mexican lives. It is not an attempt to compare races. It is a black positivity movement if anything else.

Girl 1: Ugh, I can't believe Black Lives Matter is at it again.
Girl 2: They're just trying to highlight their race, by their race. They're not trying to compare anyone.
Girl 1: Then why won't they allow anyone else in their hashtag?
Girl 2: Because it's a black positivity movement. It's for black people only. What part of that don't you understand?
Girl 1: I don't understand how I as a white girl can't post in there because I totally support them!
Girl 2: Well, posting in there would be racist considering the fact that you'd be calling attention to your race when it already has so much attention already. The blacks don't get that kind of attention so you'd just be interrupting it.

Black Lives Matter Movement is a movement to move us to equality and justice. BLMM is shortened to Black Lives Matter Movement. Black lives matter is a system where we equality and justice happens everywhere to the blacks because in America, whites only seem to have control over the minorities and the people of color who try to stand with BLM. Systematic oppression is held within minorities and is tired of hearing words of “black privilege” because that doesn’t exist. Neither does the oppressor being oppressed. You can’t be oppressed while being the oppressor, it wouldn’t make sense.
Dude 1: I think all lives matter.
Dude 2: What about the gays and trans then? What about some black lives matter?
Dude 1: I didn’t mean it by that..
Dude 2: Exactly, you’re only silencing the oppressed by saying that whites matter, but they haven’t been killed by police. They were only arrested.
Dude 1: #ALM!!
Dude 2: no, it’s not all lives matter until black lives matter.
