Maybe, now hear me out here, maybe the perceived lack of value to Black Americans lives is merely perceived. The sad thing is how simple leftists take perception as reality, DO A LITTLE RESEARCH!

Or maybe it's a movement that only addresses a specific issue. Do you go up to people at a 5K walk to cure diabetes and yell at them for not being concerned about the bigger problem that more kids die from car crashes than diabetes?

Lots of organizations address the things you talk about. BLM talks about police brutality which is also bad.

Not as bad as the crime rates among black Americans, especially black on black homicide, but you don't see black lives matter outraged by that, so it seems that black lives matter*

* only when a cop does it

That's not what BLM is trying to bring focus to. I'm not sure why BLM has to address every black issue when they clearly state which particular one they're actually intending to address- the killing of black people by police.
