I know you are trying to split it into two different issues, but that's taking the easy way out.
If BLM wants to be seen as a reputable group by everyone, they need to go where all the "black lives" are being snuffed out, and help prevent that. They need to go to Chicago, Baltimore, LA, Bay area, and all the other poor neighborhoods and HELP! Then "All" might mean something, something that they purposely left off their clever name.
All they are doing now is wasting all that money that's being donated to them in travel and supplies for their worthless demonstrations that help nobody.
They are being run by rebellious idiots.

And there are many more racial dimensions of the drug war. African-Americans do not use drugs more than white people; whites and blacks use drugs at almost exactly the same rates.13 And since there are five times as many whites as blacks in the United States, it follows that the overwhelming majority of drug users are white. Nevertheless, African-Americans are admitted to state prisons at a rate that is 13.4 times greater than whites, a disparity driven largely by the grossly racial targeting of drug laws. In some states, even those outside the Old Confederacy, blacks make up 90% of drug prisoners and are up to 57 times more likely than whites to be incarcerated for drug crimes.14

But, by all means, let’s talk about “black on black crime.” You’ve probably heard a statistic like this before – The majority of black people murdered are killed by other black people. That’s true, but also misleading. The overwhelming majority of white murder victims each year are killed by white assailants. So, when’s the last time you heard the term “white on white crime?”

As shocking as it may be for some to hear, people generally commit crimes against people they know or live near. If you want to have a real discussion about crime, let’s talk about the factors that contribute to it happening in the first place.

White supremacists have attributed the fact that crime rates are higher among African Americans than whites to people of color being biologically more prone to violence. In reality, crime is directly linked more to poverty than race or any other factor.

According to the Bureau for Justice Statistics, People living in households with income below the federal poverty threshold are twice as likely to commit a violent crime than people in high-income households, regardless of race.

We live in a country where the poverty rate is more than twice as high among black Americans than white. And that has as much to do with 400 years of systematic racism than anything else.

"You call me an idiot because that's what you have to resort to, plain and simple, very typical for most liberals and leftists."

Wait, what? Maddy is a liberal and leftist?
