Because saying "All Lives Matter" means you completely missed the entire point of BLM. It's a red flag for ignorance and stupidity in that way. "Black lives matter" doesn't mean..and never meant..that only black lives matter so ALM is correcting something that doesn't need to be corrected.

People might have understood it more readily if they'd said "black lives matter too" but that's a really weak statement when you're talking about the right to exist. Their lives matter, period. It's a more forceful statement but was not meant to exclude any others' lives. That's extremely obvious to most people.

The fact that there's been plenty of time to understand it since then means that the people who think "all lives matter" is a good thing to say are engaging in willful ignorance in a callous way. That's why it's a red flag. It's a true statement..but it only needs to be said if you're someone who really didn't get it in the first place.
