BLM does care about black on black violence I don't know where you got the idea they didn't.
About as much as the general public cares about Trey Smith in comparison to Will or Jaden Smith. It's a smaller issue to them, even though some studies show it has statistically higher prevalence, than white cops killing black males.
Here's some research you can look at: http://www.dailywire.com/news/7347/7-statistics-show-systemic-racism-doesnt-exist-aaron-bandler#
Their headline is spurious bull****, systemic racism does exist, but their stats tell a different story about where people need to focus.
And rap music doesn't glorify violence anymore than most people's favorite action, Gangster, Tarantino, etc movies or video games
Not exactly comparing apples and apples by citing a genre of music based on (in a lot of cases exaggerated) real events and fictional authors, are we? Some rappers have committed murders, have sold drugs, etc, etc - this isn't fiction.
Research indicates that black Americans kill other black Americans about 10 times more than white cops kill black Americans. Now if "Black Lives Matter" wants to accurately name themselves they should probably change it to "Black Lives Matter When They're Taken By White Cops" considering a lot of their behaviour.
People seem to want to make racist incidents and violence within the black community opposed to one another - they're not mutually exclusive issues. If BLM wants legitimacy as a movement then they should start addressing the rate at which violence occurs within the black community as much as they address the racist brutality perpetrated by cops. Both of these are crucial issues that need to be discussed and worked on, even if no white cop (or any cop) murders another black American ever again there will still be several thousand deaths a year where black Americans murder one another.
Now, one of them gets air time because it's a hot topic designed to divide people and cause ****, and the other one forces more than ten times the amount of black family members to act as pallbearers at funerals - which one is statistically more damaging to communities?
