Nothing to do with ignorance. She doesn't agree with focusing all attention solely on black lives. She's knowingly saying this. This isn't the first time she's discussed this.
I personally just sat through the whole of OJ Simpson: Made In America, thoroughly enjoyed it, was moved and saddened by the racial parts, and I still don't agree with BLM being at the forefront of racial equality in the US.
What BLM does is it repels anyone that isn't black. Sure, you get the odd few people that aren't black being a vocal supporter of it, but I'll be damned if even 1% of any other ethnicity advocate the saying, never mind white people.
Most of the people who use #AllLivesMatter are other discriminated ethnicities, who constantly get told "go form your own movement". It's disgusting, and the sooner the mainstream media stops entertaining this "racism vs. racism" mentality, it can reassess and focus on more positive and inclusive language.
