Recently longtime activist scholar Adolph Reed wrote How Racial Disparity Does Not Help Make Sense of Patterns of Police Violence in which he discusses his views regarding the shortcomings of prevailing analytical approaches within a broader Black Lives Matter movement.

"Poor whites are racialized in the same way poor black are racialized."
No, they are not. Show me a dirt-poor, all-white ghetto in any major US city. There simply are none. And that is not because there are no poor white people. It is because poor white people are segregated–i.e. they live in neighborhoods alongside working and middle-class whites. Poor whites certainly face a lot of struggles; however, they do not struggle BECAUSE they are white.
Protect the role of women in the movement or is there more to it? Consider Roland Warren's piece

Any real movement wouldn't have just tweeted and hashtagged about Sandra Bland they would have paid her $500 bail. Any real movement and we would have seen BLM boats rescuing black people in Louisiana. I'm sure the generous donations could have could up with small row boats. And since they're really into optics, imagine black boats with hashtag logos on the side rescuing black people?
look at whats been brought to the table? anythkng good ..no
He sure stumbles over the logic and what history teaches regarding the NEED to protect women's positions, contributions in Black liberation struggles….BLM is way more than a hashtag. Past movements ERASED the critical involvement and leadership contributions of women and queer people…TO OUR PERIL. This movement does not center individual identity, as much as it insists on the ongoing right to define and describe itself.

In the beginning, Prof. Reed's argument comes out a lot clearer and with more empathy than he did in the article, still I wish he had conceded in that article, the racist underpinnings that caused, and continue to do so, the disparities in wealth acquisition which would make black people be disproportionately higher the victims of the criminal justice system (according to his analysis on which income groups suffer the most).
