I guess I didn't get the memo.
Could you list just the top three of the many ways we're told white lives don't matter?

Wear a "White lives matter" t-shirt or placard on most any college campus and you'd be lucky to get out alive.
In most inner cities you wouldn't get out alive, and in many of those, just being white would get you killed.
Seriously? That's all you've got? What happened to "so often, and in so many ways"?
I know you won't debate these issues in depth, preferring to sling drive-by xenophobic turds and move on.
But the Black Lives Matter movement presses the point that black lives matter,
period; why is that so offensive to you? White America would not accept an equivalent casualty rate of unarmed white youth at the hands of the police.
Why is this such an existential threat to you that it would require an old man parading on campus in a T shirt saying anything? If you don't think black students at college experience sufficient racial taunting already, you should diversify your news sources, turn off the rightwing echo chamber and get out more.
The data clearly link the higher death rate to economic downturns which are especially sharp among less educated white people. Why did you see the need to bring other races into the equation at all? Do you think they are faring better? Are you checking for blacks under your bed yet?
