  In 1492, the first blacks slave arrived on American shores
  in 1865, slavery was officially ended.
  It took about 372 years for that change to take effect and another 99 years for the Civil Rights act to be signed.
  Change takes time

  ...that's exactly my point. Whatever change happened was done by addressing the problem as a whole. BLM is for all intents and purposes an anti-police movement, in the same vein as Occupy Wallstreet and similar anti establishment groups.

  But you deflected the question (don't think I didn't notice). I'm not asking if BLM has saved the world. I'm asking what is BLM doing in that space to effect change, aside from waiting for the next black person to die in police custody?

  the statement seems to suggest that they want to deal with the issues/practice of absent "men/fathers" that pushes black women to work "double shifts" in order to care of their children.
  What is wrong with that?

  Nothing, but those are just words that sound nice. Now, BLM has been around for 7 years, so what exactly has been done in this space?

  I can also create an organization called "Save all cute kittens" and do nothing except wait for a police car to run over one, so I can have my moment in the sun and advance my anti-establishment propaganda.

  That said, you know there is something called "rock music" and "heavy metal"? Have you paid any attention to the lyrics and message or do prefer the beats of gangster rap?

  Neither. I listen to podcasts mainly. I try to expose myself to content that educates me and challenges my mind.

  The datas show that white poors commit crimes in the same rates than black poors.
  As a french I really don't care at all about dems or reps, liberal or conservatives propaganda, that's really an only US-centered concern.

  Maybe in your country. Why do you assert to know exactly the root cause for this phenomenon in the US? Have you ever lived here? I grew up in Newark, NJ about 15 minutes outside of New York City. Have you ever been here? Or Camden NJ, or Paterson NJ? You probably would not live there for more than 5 minutes.

  Anybody that has lived in or around the inner city in a major US city understands the connection between race and crime and how it breaks along community lines. I don't care how it is in France, because you don't have the same population as we do.

  Given that, what does it imply about the official stand of BLM, taken directly from their official website?
  We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

  It's pretty easy to understand what they are saying, which is basically:

  -We've all been told that you need a family (a caring mom and dad that nurture you) to have a decent upbringing. We are now saying that the solution for that is for the community to step in and compensate for that. -

  Now, despite the nice words. How exactly is that being done? Where are the fruits of that supposed effort? What programs and workshops in the community is BLM currently running to effect this plan?

  Here's an idea... how about BLM take a position against music that glorifies the thug life, and that calls women bitches and hoes and looks down at men that love their women? Perhaps that would be a good start, but here is the thing... It simply does not fit the oppression narrative.

  And then the idea you need the police is white privilege

  I've heard that nonsense as well. Seems that it's the latest insanity from the extreme left. They have basically become a cult. Now I've said as well that this happen on the right, but the extreme left has now lost it completely.

  What's interesting about this is basically what Jordan Peterson says -- basically that we can quickly identify what is means to be on the extreme right. But somehow nobody can really tell what is the extreme left because they keep getting validated, under penalty of being called nazi.

  Trump must be licking his chops right now. He knows moderates who were bound to snub him in the election are seeking refuge from the insanity in his base. Trump was almost ready to throw in the towel with the virus devastation, but now all of a sudden he is back in the game.

  Anyway, the stats of crime in every single country in the world show clearly that crime rate is linked by a very high correlation coefficient to the poverty and not the ethnicity

  Every single country in the world is not the US. Why is it that the people insist on trying to ignore the differences between communities and people. It is exactly THAT that prevents the type of introspection that can drive change. Somehow people think that using this type of obfuscation makes them some sort of equality crusader.

  The most dangerous areas in each state of the United States are usually black communities. Poverty plays a role but it does not explain it. There are plenty of poor people in the US that not criminals.

  It is well known that the driving force for this phenomenon is the breakdown of the family structure in the black community, which started in the 1960's due to government policy. Why not just be honest about this and try to effect change, instead of trying to be a pseudo super hero for the oppressed?

  To say that 13% commit 50% of murder is to lump me and the millions of other law abiding black citizens into your murder percentage. Do you not see the statistical fallacy?

  Seems you don't understand that statistics don't care about individuality. Statistics is about numbers. The numbers you mentioned are not a fallacy in any way. That's how statistics work.

  If say, the numbers say that jihadists are 100% muslim, it does not mean that 100% of muslims are jihadists.

  That is the whole point of de-funding the police by moving some of their current tasks to other agencies but it appears that message got lost in the chaos

  Again that is NOT the agenda. If the need is to invest in other responders to take care of some of the calls, there is no need to defund any police dept. Police departments would welcome others to take over some of the calls, so they can concentrate on other things like quality of life crimes and better traffic enforcement.

  But notice, the actual intention is to diminish the police, because that is what anti establishment organizations want.
