Does BLM matter to black people?

 Flush with corporate cash, Back Lives Matter has become a contender in the world 'o social justice do-gooderism. 

What troubles me is how few black faces I see at BLM events. There's generally more white folks than black folks. And when peaceful protests go non-peaceful, it's almost always white people instigating the violence.

Almost makes you wonder if the movement has been co-opted...

But thankfully, the engines of empire continue to chug reliably along even while the body politic is ripping itself to shreds. America is on the cusp of civil war, but that won't slow down the slew of fresh sanctions on the likes of Lebanon and Iran and China, and anyone else who raises any objection to being ruled by Washington.

But why not.... when you're fomenting violence all over the world, a little trouble at home shouldn't come as a surprise.

The main concern, from the perspective of America's billionaire oligarchs, the same guys who have bought the political system and own the information infrastructure, is that the profits to be made from all this violence, both at home and abroad, accrue to them.
