Violence, death, criminal activities are an accepted part of life in the black community. There is little pressure from within to fix the problems they can control. There are some good people in the communities trying to change people, but unfortunately that doesn't get attention or results when the criminals are allowed free rein in the communities.
Black lives will matter when the community stops killing themselves, then and only then can you really fix other issues (which those issues will disappear on their own if you fix the crime issue first).
Wow. That's a really ignorant broad stroke perspective of blacks. There are 42 million black people in the US.
Why? Look you cannot change how someone feels about another person. If someone is raised to be a racist, you can't really change that. You cannot legislate your way to them not being a racist. All you can do is control the view you other people see of you. Even during open racism, there were black businesses that succeeded, 2 parent families were extremely high, black males didn't all basically enter prison before they turned 20. If the black community wasn't ripped apart by the democrats, they would have been extremely successful.
How do you quickly solve the police issues? You immediately remove the crime from the community. People know it is happening and who is doing it, start recording it, report it, etc. You can't fix individual cops, but you can make it where they know it's a waste of time because they now see the black community isn't committing crimes. You also have anyone being arrested to treat the cops with respect and follow all their instructions. It doesn't matter if the cop is worthy of respect or is a dick and is harassing you, you follow their orders and don't argue.
How do you solve the educational and economic gaps? You immediately put a requirement to succeed in school into the black family. Why are Asian countries successful in school, it starts by putting the expectations that they will be successful. If you make that a priority, it won't matter that you could be poor as you will get assistance and then be able to close the economic gap. Once everyone in the community is putting in the effort to succeed, then if there are any racists in the business world, it won't matter because they would be the most qualified candidates.
These are things that could be done immediately and have quick ROI. Rioting, protesting, etc and trying to legislate change does nothing if you don't first look inward.
