Who knows what exactly are they demanding in their protests?
It would be stupid to have a protest just for a racial statement, which there is only one race on this planet.. The Human Race.
.
They've laid it out pretty clear on their website. It doesn't get more racially defined than this. Kinda makes me mad. But, I'm white, so I can't get mad over it. :taped:

Whereas, we have collectively reasoned and are resolved to take action in unity and are determined to define, develop and defend that which is in the best interests of our people, recognizing that remaining stagnant and silent as a people is no longer an option.
Whereas, we have declared, in Unity, that we are dissatisfied and ready for complete constructive change- which is Revolution.
Therefore, our demand is an immediate, non-negotiable demand for Power, Human Rights, Freedom, Justice, Equality and Self Determination for Black Peoples. Our demand is for a Nation and world of our own, with Africa as our Free and Independent motherland. All of the above must be achieved by any means necessary.
All forms of enemy imposed and self- imposed oppression be identified, attacked and neutralized at once.
Therefore, on Saturday April 23rd, we are taking vigilantly to the streets, the projects, the police stations, the homeless shelters, courthouses, the State and City Capitols, morgues, jails, and anywhere our people or injustice can be found, in order to shake and rattle them to life.
AND WE ARE ALSO CALLING FOR A BUY BLACK ONLY WEEKEND THE WEEKEND OF APRIL 23RD
AND A BOYCOTT OF ALL NON-BLACK BUSINESSES.
Therefore, we must have a new mass awakening of Black People. The sleeping giant of the planet. We will teach, educate, uplift, confront, expose, recruit, train, operate and demonstrate, organize and mobilize as never before. We shall put aside our petty differences, egos, affiliations and denominations for the greater goals of unity, solidarity, nation and worldwide struggle. We shall unite for a common cause."
