That situation you describe is the exact reason the Philando Castile killing acquittal should have been a bigger deal. Castile did nothing wrong at all.IF it's a recent photo, then what he's doing is stealing away from the social issue at hand. He's using "Black Lives Matter" as a prop and "What about ism" to water it down. That is wrong in so many ways.
It's like me a black person telling you I got pulled over by the police asking me where I was going and what kind of job I had because I must have been a drug dealer up to no good driving an $80,000 BMW (happened 2 days after I got the car).
Then, you a caucasian respond don't be upset, I (you) also got pulled over. The officer thought my tail light was cracked. It really made me mad because I was late for a job interview that I had to cancel.
Both things matter, but are a galaxy apart in context and the 2nd is trying to take away from the first. That's Dabo.
