I genuinely don’t do statistics very well.

There are though without doubt factors from these numbers that need to be addressed.
If it is something that should concern the current movement.

A lot say no, I think it should.
From those figures, the only factor that I can see is that homicide tends to be intra-racial.

It's been pointed out dozens of times on here alone that black on black murder isn't the main issue for BLM -which is another stick to beat them with... But when shown the figures about white on white murders, they seem to completely ignore them. As we've just seen.

Can't BLM just focus on one issue? The more complicated the issue becomes, the blurrier the message gets and a lot will get lost in their fight.

It's crazy how many different arguments people have against BLM. Imagine slagging off the annual Race For Life (cancer charity fundraiser) because it doesn't raise money for Alzheimers or children in poverty.

Can't we just allow BLM to have a single, poignant message (ending racism and violence against the black community) without needing them to focus on solving the rest of the f**ked up shit that goes on in the world too?
