There is an obvious context for this statement, which is a reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement and the sign they've used. It was not an issue or a comment before BLM. There have been, however, many "white people are superior" comments over the years. White Lives Matter is - for many - also another version of "white people are superior." Posts like this are the reason Saidit sometimes fails as a website. Though this is of course "free speech" it's obviously a message of division, hatred and bigotry, and doesn't help anyone. It also makes the "whites" who support this kind of statement look weak, racist, stupid, crazy, and infantile.

WLM is an informal fallacy, or also a fallacy of presumption because white lives certainly do matter, but the origin of this phrase is a direct reaction to BLM, to try to minimize the latter.
I am not the language police, especially on this website.
An approved way of saying WLM is to say that Everyone would hopefully support BLM and other marginalized groups.

facts can be false but can't be a fallacy
No: facts are facts; fallacies can include facts
fallacies apply to logical arguments not facts
Hence they can include facts
so you're saying white lives don't matter
Not what I said
you're a racist no different than nazis
You're not committing enough brain cells to this
