"Black Lives Matter" isn't simply about the lives of Black people. It is specifically about how Black people are treated by law enforcement and the System in general. It is different from how White people are treated. I don't think that's really controversial. I'm not sure where your statistic about the fresh-off-the-boat African comes from, but he did not grow up in the same environment as the African American. It is about culture, as you say. But you can't critique that culture divorced from the context within which it formed.
Sure, black lives matter, but American blacks really need to clean up their act more than everybody else needs to give them a hand up. By constantly saying it's everybody else's fault, we're reinforcing their ideas about how they themselves deserve the world for free, which is the underlying cause of their problems.
And I can prove to you, without a shadow of a doubt, that the police, or even "the white man" are NOT the cause of it all. First, let's start here:

Anybody remember the big media shitstorm crying racism when Anthony Stokes was denied a heart transplant because of his long criminal record? Essentially he was given something so profoundly good, which would NEVER be given to a white person in the same situation: Even though the transplant team knew he wouldn't last long post transplant, he got it anyways because they were forced to feel sorry about black history. Not less than 18 months after his transplant, he dies in a criminal rampage after he shot an elderly lady and ran over a pedestrian.
Now, who do we blame for that one? Well, look at the photos he took of himself. He fancied himself a thug, plain and simple. You can tell that's what he wanted to be when he grew up, because he thought it was cool. That is something he learned from black culture, (think like hip-hop music that always glorifies that) not from the white man, not from police.
Now let's look here: https://maggiemcneill.wordpres...
Most call girls, especially black call girls, refuse to take calls from black men. The black call girls indicate the same reason as the white ones, and that reason is very interesting: Black men have a cultural mindset that they are god's gift of masculinity to the world and can just do whatever the hell they want, and are really rough during sex to the point of it being painful, and they also try to short them on money because they have the attitude that they were so good that they get to pay less.
They do often make exceptions for men who don't sound black on the phone, because they say that usually those ones aren't tainted by "black culture" and will actually behave like gentlemen. That and they'll often accept blacks who are current or ex-military (as I myself can attest, the military will take that shit culture out of anybody) or older blacks who tend to have a better sense of humility.
These are the kind of black men who escaped the disaster that is black culture.
As for why a lot of American blacks tend to behave the same way, look here: http://science.slashdot.org/st...
Basically, we as humans are naturally driven to associate with people who look like ourselves. When people tend to stick around one another, they tend to develop similar mannerisms and cultural traits that are different from others. That said, it makes perfect sense why blacks in America would act differently than any other ethnic group in America, and also why they would act different from blacks in other countries (there's a geographical separation.)
That said, very often it occurs that blacks reinforce to themselves that they, as human beings, deserve more than they are given, so they have to take it by whatever means necessary.
