I think what gets lost in discussing the logistics of protest movements is the actual purpose of the movement--why it exists. BLM doesn't exist to benefit white college kids, and it is incidental to the existence of the movement that it peripherally gratifies the desire of some white college kids to virtue signal, whether that desire is earnest, or misguided, or anything in between. I don't think anybody was stating that BLM is exclusively black. Rather, the purpose of BLM is to call attention to the plight of black Americans.
