Also those groups are such a blip on the radar the media gives them a platform because they are such a unicorn(I.E why CNN/Fox/MSNBC had so many segments called "BERNIE VOTER WHO'S VOTING FOR TRUMP"). And Social media allows for p much anyone to put an avatar of a black person and role play out their Black person voting for Trump.

I feel like some of these people also realized Republicans are desperate to look inclusive and Not Racist, and any minority with few enough scruples to assist that narrative is going to be handsomely rewarded with money and attention.

And there's always a place for religious extremism within the Republican Party too, regardless of color. See Ben "Hillary is literally a servant of Satan" Carson.

Black Lives Matter made it to the president's office. That's pretty good evidence that someone is, in fact, listening.

When I saw Bill Clinton get into an argument during a rally with two Black Lives Matters protesters on live television over the merits of his 1993 crime bill, that was the moment I realized they were legit. They've done a drat good job pushing the issue of criminal justice reform, although we'll see if they can keep up pressure once election season is over.
