Where "grown" means you've conformed to what you're told, yes.
If the burning house analogy were to hold, an appropriate phrase would be, "black lives matter too". The left, however, rejects that, making it clear they want to movement to stand for black lives being the only ones that matter.
BLM is a political weapon, not a mechanism to help blacks. People who really care about black lives worry more about the tens of thousands of blacks that are murdered in the inner cities due to inadequate policing more than the few that are directly killed by police.
