I'm saying that it shouldn't.
There is nothing "tricky" about the question, nor is it intended to be loaded. It is a direct and sincere question.

It shouldn't add any ambiguity? Why not?

I doubt you intended it but it's a closed ended question because you were looking for a specific answer . That's why I refused to answer

Because it's a mistake to assume that I'm referencing anything other than the literal meaning of the words.
It's kind of like Anonymous. Anonymous isn't an organization, it's a joke. I see the same sort of thing happening to BLM. It's not an organization, it's just some words. Why are people talking about it like it's an organization? It's mass hysteria. It creeps me out.

How do you reconcile that with your earlier statement "I wanted to see how many people on this forum would be willing to say that black lives don't matter because of their distaste for an activist hashtag"? It sounds a lot like you expected that using the hashtag in your question would influence the results.
Asking the question in the way you did opens it up to the interpretation "Do you agree with everything this hashtag encompasses" (which, as you say yourself, nobody really does.) If someone votes "No" because they interpret the question in this way, concluding that by voting "No" they were "say(ing) that black lives don't matter" would be misguided.

Because it gets the question answered. If people are willing to answer "no" to that question because of the associations they make with some hashtag (ANY hashtag!), then it reflects their beliefs precisely to the extent that I inquire-- in the literal capacity of the words used, and not in reference to some arbitrarily determined set of current and recent events in the news.

Do you really think about this retarded hair-splitting shit in your spare time Sophist? Why don't you get some more productive hobbies instead of looking for politically correct things to argue about on the internet? You'd probably be a lot happier if you took all the time and energy you spend on this type of stuff and redirected it in more positive direction

"Do you believe that #BlackLivesMatter?" could be interpreted as "Do you believe that black lives matter?" or it could be interpreted as asking about the well-known movement by the name #BlackLivesMatter. You seem to be fully aware of this. Interpreting a "No" to "Do you believe that #BlackLivesMatter?" as a "No" to "Do you believe that black lives matter?" is disingenuous. They aren't the same question.
