How is crossing out "Black lives matter" in any sense related to pursuing actual equality?

I also am definitely opposed to Zuckerberg for president, but I just don't understand the logic here. If they were merely writing "All other lives matter too," I'd understand where you were coming from, but I don't understand how crossing out the statement is praiseworthy.

Personally, I think that the United States has systematically mistreated black people for centuries and not acknowledging that such problems still exist is willful ignorance.

I agree wholeheartedly. Had the messages in question said "Only black lives matter," I would support crossing them out.

But I don't understand how crossing out "Black lives matter" is supposed to be interpreted as "Yes, and other lives matter too" instead of the straightforward "No, black lives don't matter."
