I think one of the reasons for this difference you observe is that a not insignificant number of black protestors are already trapped in poverty by an impoverished childhood, inadequate education, and a nonsensical justice system that finances itself via lawbreakers and the laws that unwittingly feed the system. They have very little additional to lose. There incentive to adhere to the law is minimal . I think the statistics bear out this observation quite well. We can change this, but we don't seem to have the perseverance that would require. And we certainly lack a plan that could get us there. People of means have few encounters with the justice system and little interest in reforming it.I support the right of people to protest peacefully. Let's take a look at a proper example of a protest -- the Women's March on Washington. Permits properly obtained. Many protestors. No violence. No looting. No burning. No one injured by protestors.
This differs greatly from every BLM protest -- where they deliberately refuse to get permits, looting in common, arson is problematic, protestors deliberately block traffic, and the protestors deliberately target police and innocent bystanders for injury.
There is a right way to protest a problem and a wrong way. Let's stop having billionaires fund people to take the wrong violent route.
