Yes, they are targeted a lot more. My links are on my original reply, first one from the FBI.

90% of African American homicides are committed by other black people.
82% of Caucasian homicides are committed by other white people.

There's really no difference. However, in 2015 the rate of black young men killed by police was 5 times higher than black men. LINK
So yes, black people have the right to protest against police brutality based on skin colour.
Thank you for this thread!

What exactly are they doing? It only gets worse and worse every year not better. And then of course there is the media attention. Black people are in much more Danger from other black people then they are cops. It's not even close.

Yes. But the other people are not meant to be protecting and second them . It's two separate issues.
It's like asking why black people don't protest cars as they are more likely to die from a crash. It's irrelevant. Cops are meant to be protecting black people as much as white people. Not shooting them like animals.
I support BLM.

It's the funding.
The backers have to make money.
Focus on the money not the issue.

Where are you getting these statistics? Please post them. Even if that's the case, it makes sense given the statistics. Why do you keep ignoring that such a small percentage of people is committing such a large majority of the crime? Do you think that it might have something to do with why more black men have encounters with cops?

It's encouraging to read that there are black people who acknowledge that there are very real internal problems with crime/violence within their own communities. Such an approach is far more productive and beneficial for black people as a whole than continually blaming all their issues on an external enemy.

That's right. The problem is in the nauseating term "black-on-black" violence, instead of just "violence". Of course law-abiding citizens are against the violence that occurs in their communities. "Black on black violence" is just as idiotic as "white on black violence" or "cop on black violence", and for the exact same reasons.
Boad- I know You know that I'll call a 'spade' a "shovel"...

Black non-Hispanic males, with an incarceration rate of
4,749 inmates per 100,000 U.S. residents, were incarcerated
at a rate more than 6 times higher than white nonHispanic
males (708 inmates per 100,000 U.S. residents)
and 2.6 times higher than Hispanic males (1,822 inmates
per 100,000 U.S. residents)

Do you contend that a majority of black men that are shot by the cops are completely innocent and did nothing to deserve it?
You support a racist organization. There is a plethora of information available to prove that.
