Black Theology and Black Lives Matter: two sides of the same coin?

It has been said the black theology and black lives matter are two sides of the same coin. Well I have never seen that coin and find it hard to believe this statement. 

I can understand the value of black theology and its place in the church, in certain contexts and in the lives of black Christians. But the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement seems to be a quite different matter, particularly when it comes to its political agenda.  There have been at BLM rallies and demonstrations clear calls to defund the police. I have even seen graffiti promoting violence against the police in the USA.  

Thomas Sowell is highly critical of the BLM movement and those who are promoting and profiting from the race relations industry. I would recommend his books and YouTube videos on race, inequality and economics. He follows the facts and exposes those who seem to be inoculated against the facts and the evidence.
