So fuck you and your "cheap shots" bullshit.
Al Sharpton isn't out protesting a black death when its at the hands of a black killer.... ever. We don't hear about "Black Lives Matter" when its the 100s and 1000s of daily black on black crimes. Thats the only "systemic" thing going on in this issue.
All lives should matter. But if you're going to single out "black lives" to make a point, then at least be fucking honest about the problems and the solutions, not point the finger at a random incident which is statistically irrelevant to the actual problems.

First off, da fuck does Sharpton have to do with this? I swear he's like a shill for y'all at this point, an easy target to deflect attention away from the real work being done by those actually invested in creating a better future, for all of us.
In terms of 'Black on Black' violence (I'll hold my tongue on that and adopt your parlance), while I appreciate the support from makko he's not entirely correct. BLM is about more than fighting against law enforcement brutality. It's about challenging the entire status quo that allows these conditions to occur, and reproduce, over and over. If you don't see the problem not surprising, the beauty of systemic injustice is that it's not readily evident to those not negatively impacted by it.
As to “a random incident”? Don't even know where to start with that. I suppose if one were looking at the history of the world in eons absolutely, these repeated occurrences of state-sanctioned oppression and violence all over the nation, decade after decade, originating from the same twisted social conditions would be a random statistical anomaly.
My central point though: 'Black on Black' crime (in the gang-related sense of the word you mean it) is something the movement is striving to resolve, by fighting the conditions that cause this in the first place. nothing is being 'ignored', it's fucking
central to the cause because none of this ish occurs in isolation.
All lives should matter. Would be really fucking cool if we as a society and series of institutional structures could achieve that.
As to the 'cheap shot'? Totally stand by what I wrote. Until I posted not a single person in the thread even acknowledged that a life was lost here, instead it was mockery of a movement that is not responsible for this death, that is actually fighting to create a safer future.
As to the 'fuck you', expected a higher level of rebuttal
