I Believe Black Lives Matter

All lives do matter, so why when someone in particular says they matter can't we just say, "Yes. You do matter."
No "but..." no "however" no "well, everybody's lives..."
So when someone says black lives matter, why can't we just say "That's true"?

NearMiss, I know. I don't want to touch on what your statement implied.
The thing is, certain points are disregarded completely. I was recently told an example I thought was a great analogy. "Would you go up to a cancer patient and tell them 'there are other diseases'?" That's what "all lives matter" as a response is like.
And not everyone protesting is killing cops...
