Caste is a complicated thing. There are poor Brahmins, but they are not poor because they are Brahmin. Whereas Dalits are proportionally, and indeed absolutely, far more likely to be poor. And at root, poor Dalits are poor because they are Dalit.
Likewise, white privilege does not necessarily mean that your life is easy. It means that your skin colour is not one of the causes of your problems. And as a slogan, since the organisation is more problematic, Black Lives Matter does not mean that White Lives Don't. It means that black lives matter as much as white ones.
