From what i read on here so far it sounds like the protest are doomed to fail. Nothing will change from these protest.
And when it does fail, who do you think gets the blame?

I watched the New York protest on about 4 different live feeds and I don't have the URLs anymore so I'm not sure but I believe it was a YouTube live video and NOT the RT one.
At least half of the protestors appeared to be white. Repeatedly they were verbally slammed for being there.
Then black people, mostly women at first, took bull horns and formed a circle of black people, excluding the whites who had marched with them. They spoke angrily and racially bigottedly ... but the last one before I hit the "This is Stupid" close button was a pale black, large woman who declared this "MY Revolution" and went on to gripe about the Klan killing "her people" and essesntially labeled every white person in that category. She finally finished with, "I hate white people".
So, a common issue that affects people of all color has been co-opted to fit the old Black Panther Revolution agenda.
Those hippies are running the education system now.

That kid was naked, charging the PD, banging on windows and high on a hallucinogenic drug! Brown was walking down the street. Still doesn't deserve to be killed and the officer should have been charged. But that is a case of the PD protecting its own, which is another issue in the justice system.

His killers were charged and tried. Wilson was never even charged.

This is not going to work, angry white people, if you continue to approach allyship with hostility and condescending behaviour. It's not your way or the highway.
...
If you don't like what we have to say, remember the things you've been able to say about us so explicitly -- then leave us be.
...
And if finally having a space where we get to speak for and about ourselves instead of being misconstrued by your theorists, scientists, scholars, researchers, and social workers infuriates you, well then you can't be an ally. You're just not cut out for this. We kinda expected better of you. It's probably best that from now on, you just complain about our progress from afar.

What education system? The one that turns out cannon fodder?
The hippies you speak of hung on Height Street, not in Universities.
They are blamed for all the ills then and now just like the "communists".
Cold War rhetoric.

Many people today in the black community don't really have a clear idea of what MLK actually stood for. They just know he did a lot for them, but don't know how. MLK understood that the key to overcoming racism is to come together against it, not to push the other party away,
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

People are angry because Wilson was never even arrested or charged with ANYTHING.
