You're saying pedophiles matter, rapists matter... child traffickers matter. I see an issue with that.

The problem is when you try to use that as a counterargument against “black lives matter“. When people say “black lives matter“, they don’t mean “only black lives matter“. They actually mean “black lives matter also“. So in fact, people who are saying “black lives matter“ are the only ones who are truly saying “all lives matter“.
The thing is, you already know all that which I have said in the first paragraph, and so when you hear “black lives matter“ and respond with “all lives matter“ as a counter, that simply means you are pretending not to understand the BLM phrase and are saying ALM as a semantic argument against the advancement of civil rights, which means that you do not in fact believe that all lives matter. It means you think only white lives matter.

"That Black House is on fire!"
"We'll hose down the white house next to it, because, all houses matter".

I don't care for ALM because they solely formed to protect BLM as I don't like Antifa because they solely formed to protest the Alt-right & white supremacists groups.
I don't think forming a protest group to protest another group is great because that's just fighting and it's stupid. Just let people say what they need to say and let everyone move on because look at what fight each other did to our country. We'll never all agree, we just need to accept each other's differences, stay out of each other's way and let each other live.

In the United States all races are allowed social privileges if they are citizens regardless of the race they are. Slavery the way it happened to the black race was wrong but we live in the twenty first century now and that past needs to be forgiven...
This is complicated because on my Mother's side a great Uncle was a slave owner but he was born into the situation and did not agree with it and the following explains who he felt and this story was told to me by his sister who was my Great Grandmother.
When the civil war happened my Great Uncle Samuel was sad and he fought for the South to protect the slaves. He was scared if the war was won by the North then Black families would be scattered and separated because they would not know how to take care of their families and that is what happened and sometimes the solution is not what you think.
He told his family I do not want to see this war happen and it has to happen I am going to fight for the South and if South wins I am going to free them anyway to set an example to the other slave owners. He did free them when the war was over and many stayed with him as hired workers.
England freed them long before the United States did and this is what this song is about. It was written by a ships captain who had hurt the Africans and he suffered greatly for what he did and wrote this song as an expression of his pain.

Because all lives does NOT matter. Many insects for example are seen as just vermin, many plants are seen as weed, not to mention bacteria or virus etc, etc, etc.
