One of the reason why the black community gets frustrated with the oft-made rebuttal "why aren't we talking about black-on-black violence?" is that, for some mysterious reason, people only seem to want to talk about that whenever blacks are talking about police violence.

Then why don't blacks protest when there are black on black shootings? They only get angry when its a white person who kills one of them. That's why people only bring it up when blacks protest against white on black shootings (let's be real it's a race issue not a police issue. Black lives matter specifically said they want the police force to racially match the communities they watch over ie less white police). It makes white people feel like they're being personally attacked for their race and singled out especially when you say "black lives matter" whites question the wording why it's not white black lives also matter or black lives matter too. If you flip it around and say "white lives matter" it'd be racist.

Do "All Lives Matter?" Of course they do. Does the black community have a problem with violence, underachievement, and entrenched cycles of poverty? Absolutely. But it's remarkably curious that problems within the black community don't become talking points until the subject becomes the way the black community relates to society at large.

Then why not protest that? To me it doesn't seem black lives matter it seems "black lives don't matter, white actions matter"

suddenly all she's talking about is something completely different. Sure, maybe she has a valid point to make, but why wait until you've raised an issue to start talking about it? It all feels like an attempt at distraction to ensure that no one takes responsibility and nothing ever really gets done, to simply run down the clock until everyone is exhausted.

Because some things are more important than others and when you focus on one thing that's not as important it makes you look like an idiot. BLM movement sounds like Donald Trump wanting to deport Mexicans to lower the crime rate instead of focusing police on the violent ones and letting the peaceful ones become citizens. You are focused on the wrong problems, black on black violence is a much larger issue than police on black or white on black violence. Focus on that instead especially since BLM is escalating racial tensions in the US and also making police fear doing their jobs. Look at Baltimore or St. Louis murder rates since thee protests. Murders have skyrocketed.
