Why is "Black Lives Matter" not a Racist Statement?

Let's be clear about this from the outset: I am not a racist. I believe in EQUALITY for everyone, regardless of gender, race, skin colour or any other attribute you could pin on a human being.

I believe EVERYONE has worth and it doesn't need stating by anyone that this is a fact. It's also true that no human should stand above any other.

Whether you are Black, white, whether you are male or female, trans, disabled, whether you have mental health issues or whether you don't, everyone has worth in this world.

Furthermore, I will not bend the knee to anyone, nor will I call anyone Sir. I believe we are all equals and no-one is superior, nor inferior to another. Bending the knee is submission: that implies the person you are bending the knee to is superior.

So, the opinion that the statement "White lives matter" is supposedly racist when "Black lives matter" isn't, doesn't compute in my brain.

What the disparity in the media and the rest says to me is that Black lives are superior to white lives, ergo racism.

The BLM movement may suggest that bending the knee is apologising for slavery. Something that was wiped out 200 years ago. Those bending the knee have never owned slaves and the majority of them have not been racist, so why are they banding the knee? What are they apologising for? For being white? Err RACISM! It's as bad as me walking up to a black person and asking them to apologise for their skin colour.

Of course if you mention this, the BLM movement then moves the goalposts and starts to quote White Privilege. What privilege exactly? I don't see much privilege in my life. I've had to work and work hard to get anywhere in life. Being working class doesn't  feel very privileged. I've met overt oppression, especially when working amongst graduates. They seem to think anyone that doesn't have a degree is thick. In the work environment I've experienced prejudice numerous times.

But the purpose of BLM isn't equality, I can see quite plainly it's not. Just as there are white supremacist organisations, BLM is a black supremacist one. Otherwise equality would be the goal. No bending of knees, no apologies for wrongs done centuries ago. Equality does not require the other party to be subjugated.

UPDATE:

Here's an extreme example of why I don't like BLM and why I think their outlook is wrong. Ignore the Marxist anti-capitalist bullshit they spout and just concentrate on the race thing for a minute.

Let's flip things. Imagine that a white supremacist organisation (let's say the KKK) demanded that black people kneel in subjugation for all of their past wrongs. Or even if they didn't demand it, imagine if a part of society just decided the thing to do: kneel in subjugation entirely because of your skin colour apologising for something hundreds of years in the past even though your ancestors never benefitted from it.
I can't begin to describe how wrong that is and how wrong it is for ANY organisation or part of society to expect another part of society to kneel in subjugation. We are EQUALS and must always be treated as such.

If EQUALITY is not enough for you, then I feel sorry for you. You will never get what you want, because there is one man here that will never kneel, will never bend the knee and will never submit to another person.
