I 100% agree with you. It seems to be all about "them" (the professional athletes). I'll be honest, it appears BLM is a group that is narrowly focused to have a positive impact on black lives that have been shot or harassed by police.
I believe they could make a much bigger impact if they focused on the black youth that need guidance as they grow up, Give them positive role models. Give them pathways where they can grow up and be productive adults.
BLM is focused on a small sliver of situations where police officers target black youth. They ignore the opportunity to address the broader issue where the black youth need a positive role model to point them in the right direction. (and let me say it's not JUST the black youth... but that seems to be fashionable conversation lately).
