But if that group are more of a risk than others, you accept it is right to target them?

If we need to racial issues in the U.K., I’m all for it, but not under the BLM banner.
The black community needs Support, but also need to look within themselves.
Of course this general, there are well off middle class black families and plenty of white families that are destitute. We take that as read.

Why is there such an issue with using the name? If it's used to highlight inequality and racism in society
Did you campaign for CIF to be renamed back to JIF ?

One sure way of us
versus them situation is movements like black lives matter. You have then created a group which is segregating them over everyone else. Those of us that aren't racist know black lives matter. Those that are racist are now seeing the black lives matter movement as a us versus them situation which is the very thing we don’t want
All lives matter regardless of who you are. If we want to fight various situations such as what happened in America then we should be doing it as one, not separating it. We all matter and we can all fight it by helping each other.

And here highlights the lack of understanding of the issue.
Not one person is saying other life doesn't matter.
People are saying we need to prioritise black lives right now.
