The "14 words" managed to make their way into the tweet ticker tape on ABC's #qanda

The “black lives matter” movement makes no logical sense, if the goal is to end identity politics then appealing to a specific identity is nonsensical.

Every message conveyed by "Black Lives Matter" could be just be conveyed with "All Lives Matter" and not a single iota of meaning would be lost, and I would argue the message would be enhanced to be more inclusive and applicable to more groups. You would not have to state that "Black lives matter" (or that any other group's lives matter) since that would be obvious.

The name "Black lives matter" was a branding mistake, it is too specific and requires an explanation like the one you just gave that it also includes all other lives since this is self evidently not obvious.
