In what world do you think that they're perfectly okay with black on black and black on white violence?

Maybe in some case racism does play a role in things. But most of the time people are to ignorant to even care what really happened and what the protocol was for that specific situation

Like with all organisations and causes, there are members who have beliefs which don't particularly represent that of the wider community and we all know that the bad stuff is made more aware than the good.

Personally, i've only seen the BLM movement protest upon the shooting or mistreatment of a Black person by a White Police Officer.

It's a fair movement, they are entitled to free speech and it's in accordance with human rights to be able to protest. No race should be discriminated against and it's a common theme that Blacks, Muslims and other ethnic minorities are discriminated against, most publicly by the Police and it simply cannot go on. BLM want change, they want to see Police Departments re-train their Officers, take more responsibility for some of their actions and prove that Blacks are just as welcome in the Community as White People. It's something that should not need to be done, but it's gotten to the point where it has to be done, if nothing is done then it's an endless downward slope and for the second largest community after the White community to lose faith in the Police and Law Enforcement, it's a big deal and relations must get better.

There is plenty of proof out there of discrimination against Blacks and a blatant bias against Blacks too if anyone feels the need to ask for proof.

Did you see any BlackLivesMatter activist come out when there were 20+ murders in Baltimore? Didnt think so. All of which were black on black. They only come out when they can find a way to include race.

Oh let's not play dumb now, this isn't the minority of BLM. Most are violent and have racist tendencies (though I care much less about the racism since it can't be helped). Also, I think there is some confusion about what they're protests truly are, because at this point they are simply large scale looting schemes.
