The thing is the statistics show the blacks should address themselvs cause the biggest contributor to black deaths are other blacks.
But as with everything evil whitey is at fault

Hi. I live in a historically black neighborhood. There are countless community demonstrations against violence, marches, charity barbecues etc. Think about maybe why you don't see those on the news and why Breitbart et al. tend to focus on just the violent aspects and not the actual community building that happens.
Also watch "The 13th" if you haven't.
Those in the Black Lives Matter movement say black people are in immediate danger and need immediate attention, like the broken bone or house on fire.
Saying “All Lives Matter” in response would suggest to them that all people are in equal danger, invalidating the specific concerns of black people.
“You’re watering the house that’s not burning, but you’re choosing to leave the house that’s burning unattended,” said Allen Kwabena Frimpong, an organizer for the New York chapter of Black Lives Matter. “It’s irresponsible.”
More to the point: It is a given that all lives matter, said Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, an assistant professor of African-American Studies at Princeton University.
“That has always been an assumption,” she said. “The entire point of Black Lives Matter is to illustrate the extent to which black lives have not mattered in this country.”
“if we jump too quickly to the universal formulation, ‘all lives matter,’ then we miss the fact that black people have not yet been included in the idea of ‘all lives.’ ”
