I'd argue the "issue"/fault for the misinterpretation lies squarely in the poor wording of "black lives matter". You can't blame people for misunderstanding what is, objectively, a very vague message.

Not only is "black lives matter" vague, but its whole impetus, police brutality, isn't even present in that phrase. You're supposed to just magically know it's about police treatment of black people.
