I agree with you that it is not clear cut and racism and hatred of the other exists on both sides.
However, the protests by BLM movement exist because those in power are white, because those who make the law and legislate are white, because those who enforce the law ( unequally and sometimes unlawfully) are white, those who sit on the bench in the highest courts are predominantly white. So the BLM movement rages against those who use their power to justify the murders of blacks by not bringing perpetrators (usually those who've been sworn to protect their communities) to justice, and they are white.
When you combine hatred and racism with power and use that vantage point against those who are powerless, the powerless will hate and be racists back. And when the powerless are done with just trying to survive and feel they have nothing to lose, they will protests and rage with all their might.
There are good people in power and bad. There are good people and bad in the black communities and the BLM movement. But abuse of power over another's survival, existence, and subsistence lies with whites, and usually against blacks and minorities, the disenfranchised, etc.

Do you really think that there are no incidents of racial violence that are black-on-white? Just out of hatred and racism?
How about this?

Seriously, you can’t just start vilifying and sanctifying. There’s wrong done on BOTH sides, there’s prejudice and hatred on BOTH sides. Blinding yourself to just one side doesn’t contribute in a positive way. If you truly want to make things better you have to see the virtues and faults on both sides.

it happens, it just doesn't hit the media
ive shared a few links.
But it doesn't happen because the jogger is white. Arbery was killed because he was black.
