“Men and boys are seen as the primary target of racial injustice,” AAPF associate director Rachel Gilmer told TakePart in May. “This has led to the idea that women and girls of color are not doing as bad, or that we’re not at risk at all.”

From the linked article above. None of this diminishes the importance of any Black Lives Matter protests or the lives of black men.
