Neither is political. One is a statement of identity and the other is against that identity.
"I exist" and "you should not exist" are not political opinions. They are existential ones.
"Black Lives Matter" is not a statement that merely means "I exist". It's a statement borne from a social/political movement, and it's disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
