Why is it, Black lives matters are not calling themselves Africa

Rio Grande - Why is it, Black lives matters are not calling themselves African American lives matters? I'll tell you why; first I'm a Black man first! I wasn't born in Africa, I was born here in America. My heritage is African, but many folks come from different parts of the world so I really wish we would all accept "WE'RE" Black! Next, BLM does NOT represent my family and I; I have worked steadily since high school and military service in there during the late 90's. Blacks, Don't buy into the, (It's the white mans fault) if you work hard, you'll move ahead, white folks did nothing to me, many helped.
