So to summarize the points you've been trying to make in this thread to me:
BLM and other groups and movements aiming to prevent police brutality have been ineffective and that is primarily because they entirely see their issue through one lens, "we must hold police accountable for their actions", which isn't a bad thing to do but it avoids the fact that their is an extreme disparity in crime from blacks compared to other Americans which would suggest that the police being far more likely to kill blacks is an inevitability. This would make BLM the equivalent of someone trying to fix an oil leak in a car by putting a bandage over the hole instead of welding the hold shut or getting a new gas tank. This extreme crime disparity would suggest a cultural or systemic problem facing black people in the U.S in recent history.
Is that what you think I should take away from what you've been trying to say?
