BLM protests are like that but don't let them fool you. The truth is that BLM is racist anti-white movement, here's what BLM co-founder has said about whites:

Of course she wont get punished for that because racism against whites is allowed which is wrong, it isn't any different than racism against blacks.
And yes, nazism and white supremacy are bad ideologies as well. Every live matters equally.
Speaking up about this cuz I live in Toronto and all where her BLM chapter is from.
Yeah she did say all that, and yeah that did not win her many fans. I don't think our BLM chapters are taken as seriously as the ones in the States. For many reasons, some including that in Canada although black people do suffer from stigma and discrimination to some extent, we've never had the tortured history involving the slavery, the Civil War, the South, Reconstruction, the Civil Rights movement, and the War on Drugs, among other significant historical traumas. The oppressed minority whose issues have the same visibility as blacks have in the US would be Indigenous Canadians, imo, but that's another issue - the point is that black issues in Canada just simply do not run as deep and is not as central in our national consciousness. Black people I know have various levels of support for BLM, when they do express support for it it's usually for the cause, not the leaders. Those who don't like BLM tell me it's a joke and express quite simply we're not in America and the BLM we have here don't really have a reason to exist.
Regarding what she said, yeah it's basically a black analogue of the sort of pseudoscience that were popular amongst fascists and eugenicists in history and white supremacists today. Reading into a genetic defect (impaired melanin production) some kind of moral or ethnic defect is on the same level as using skull measurements to support the inferiority of Blacks and Jews. There's really no reason for it.
But she leads BLM in Toronto, which is not the BLM in Chicago, or Baltimore, or Atlanta, or whatever other important American cities there are. Also, esoteric black supremacy is as fringe of a fringe ideology as they come. White people who talk about black supremacy like it's equivalent to white supremacy are really reaching - when you go to sleep at night, you'd never consider the possibility of Yusra Khogali coming after you with a pitchfork but for the rest of us non-white people we kind of have to consider the possibility of some white supremacist accosting you armed with an AR-15 all the while getting in your face about how it's their 2nd Amendment right to run around with a firearm. Because people actually do the second thing, we have a total hullabaloo right now and it's been reasonably high profile in the past too.
Regarding the source: they've reported the facts, but that's not all they did. The quoted material from the Toronto Sun (which is a conservative newspaper, admittedly) is legit, as is their reference to the Nation of Islam and Black Nationalism circles. That's where the actual journalism ends, though. They then claim that those kind of comments became normalized. Really? I bet you didn't even know black people could turn the rhetoric of genetic racism on white people until you read that article. And then they go one to suggest that these views are representative of the BLM at large, and indirectly to those people who champion for the rights of black people and the left in general. Quite simply, they aren't. BLM is a social movement against black discrimination with an extreme wing of questionable significance which might call for violence or spout racism against white people. White supremacy does not have an extreme wing - it's an extreme ideology.
The reason that nobody calls out the Yusra Khogalis of the world is that nobody takes what they say seriously, except for white right extremists who even then don't call it out because they're really hurt by it - but because it fuels their cause. The conspiracy to misinform you about BLM and other advocates for black status in society is much much much bigger than the conspiracy of black people who want to murder all whites in their sleep.
Does that explanation help at all?
