I don't think your are well informed here. They are protesting the systemic racism that makes some cops feel like they can get away with leaving their knee on a black man's neck for 8 minutes killing him.

Maybe you don't think that systemic racism is a major problem or maybe you think that people should focus on other issues instead? But your graph is incorrect.

I feel that the "systemic racist" is overplayed, yes. And the graph is sourced.

Neither of those sources prove that BLM is only about white on black murder. Check out this source if you are interested in learning about the goals of BLM https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/

But it's nuanced and more than can be defined on a page with vast sub cultures and groups all lobbying for power.

As is any social movement, I think there are some problems inherent with it, like the inability to criticize aspects of the movement without being considered a racist.
