Not ignorant. Blacks are killing each other in droves. Black lives matter when killed by a cop. Otherwise they don't matter at all.
I think the idea is that when blacks murder each other it is sad but "normal" everyday life. You wouldn't protest a rainstorm or your local sports team losing a game because those things are "normal" too.
But when a white cop kills a black person that is seen as a reminder of America's past and black people don't want to live in the past and the idea of cops slaughtering blacks all over again is a scary one and out come the protests and riots and such.
According to the article, young black men are unable to get jobs, even riding around on their bicycles in the city shouting we need jobs. What happened to the 5.3% unemployment rate and all those jobs being created each month? There's your hope...keep the change.

I think part of the problem with black lives matter is that for some reason, cops are more likely to shoot black men even if there is no immanent threat. Has any of thee 45 murders been attributed to cops? That is what the black lives matter movement was over, not those who are just murdered in the streets. I think it is silly, BUT the point of the black lives matter movement was about police violence not civilian violence.
The movement should be called,"Only some black lives matter".
Jesus. I keep asking this, but seriously, why in the world is this forum SO obessed with race?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????
Anyway, I'm sure most of these killings are drug-related. Move on much?
If they did riot, you would bash them most likely. I'm afraid blacks can't win in your eyes, whether they riot or not.
obey the law....stay out of trouble....is that to much to ask?
