For Wall Street, 'Black Lives Matter' is a convenient public distraction from the ongoing profitable genocide in the Middle East and Africa and the profitable genocide being planned for Latin American nations governed by socialists, both of which are prosecutable under the US Constitution and international law[3]. Black Lives Matter's 'only-in-America' protests are also a distraction from the real reason for racism and poverty in America, namely, the global racist neocolonial imperialism that uses poor and jobless African Americans as cannon fodder.
By not getting to the core of the racism, the international genocidal racist neocolonial imperialism, which takes the lives of thousands of non-palefaced human beings for every African American killed by police in the US, the situation is made worse, regardless of good intentions. Chaotic strife is an opening for the ruling elite to further divide and exploit.
Young leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement might be unaware of Martin Luther King's fierce condemnations America's genocidal wars "on three continents since 1945." For fifty years the criminal media cartel controlling 98% of all information has made sure no one ever hears or reads of this outcry by King in its tightly controlled TV, radio, newspapers and magazines. Civil rights leaders, even the ones who held the dying King in their arms have largely cooperated with this complete blackout of King's last sermons. [Death of a King: The Real Story of Dr. Martin Luther King, Tavis Smiley] Jessie Jackson, Andrew Young, Julian Bond and John Lewis became prominent members of the wars creating establishment. Even at the unveiling of the King monument in Washington, these civil rights leaders made no mention of King's condemnation of US atrocity wars in their speeches[5]. So how to expect something different from the leaders of Black Lives Matter.
Nothing to do but wait twenty-five years. Then China, not the US, will be the major influence in the world, and China will lead the East and the South to replace bloody Western racist colonialism-neocolonialism with some of the same genial sanity that homo sapiens display in today's miraculous accomplishments in outer space and medicine.
When international racist Western colonial imperialism expires, so will domestic racism in a calmer and repentant USA.

. here regarding the Nuremberg Principles of International Law affirmed by all member states of the UN.
Principle I "Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible therefore and liable to punishment." Principle III "The fact that a person who committed an act which constitutes a crime under international law acted as Head of State or responsible government official does not relieve him from responsibility under international law." The Nuremberg Principles were developed by UN organs as customary international law. To prove that a certain rule is customary one has to show that it is reflected in state practice and that there exists a conviction in the international community that such practice is required as a matter of law. The Nuremberg Trials were a "practice" of the "international law" of the Nuremberg Principles; and that "practice" was supported by the international community. Former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark, has stated: The Nuremberg Principles of International Law are an integral part of the US Constitution, the law of the land.
