You're blind if you dismiss the possibility it had an impact. Let me make it simple. Cuban Americans hate Che Guevara. BLM protester thinks Che is great and holds a Che sign. Cuban American(s) see BLM protestor hold a Che sign and connects BLM with Che (whom they hate). I understand that BLM doesn't support Che (or at least I hope that's true), but not everyone gets that. Perception has an impact. That is human nature
