The entire premise of BLM--that black lives "matter" less than other lives--is flawed.  

When has this ever been the premise behind BLM? I'm talking as a movement (we're separating the message from the media).

I think that statement is accurate albeit poorly worded.

The phrase "Black Lives Matter" is a protest or rebuttal against the idea that black lives are not treated as equally valuable in our society. It is to say "Society places less value on black lives, and we wish to fight against this". 

As for whether or not this is accurate assessment depends in part on the metrics you use to make that call, but through my experiences, it seems to be at least somewhat accurate.
