Why should the Black Lives Matter movement not be changed to all lives matter ?

If you are in a neighborhood and one house is on fire, do you hose all the houses down or just the one on fire? That's why, because this is a problem about racism towards one race. It's not about ONLY Black lives mattering, it's about the fact that black lives are never treated like they matter, that's why we have to focus on them. The phrase BLM holds up a microscope to what is happening to black people, as it happens to black people at a rate of 300% more.
