"the movement."

RE: "the movement."
I mean you came here asking what BLM wants.  Now when given another perspective you just shake your head and say nope, I must be interpreting this correctly.

You haven't brought up new information, you just keep repeating the same thing over and over.  You haven't bothered to address new information as it comes to you.  Basically your argument boils down to:
I interpret statement X as anti democratic, therefore it must be anti democratic, therefore everything they say is anti Democratic.  

You haven't explained why the statement you keep quoting is anti-democratic.  
They want more political power to be held by black people.  That is what the statement you keep repeating boils down to.
They argue the current amount of power held by black people under represents the black community, and if voting were more democratic and less oligarchic, then that would be the case.  
That is a real point they are making.  And when you contextualize their demand for more power, their statement very clearly becomes anti-oligarchic.  If you are unwilling to contextualize what they say, and take everything they say at absolute face value, then the most direct quote they have involves "creating a more perfect democracy".  That is part of their "rudder" that you wanted to put into context.  Now that you are being asked to contextualize a statement you seem to think(it doesn't even by itself) supports your argument by looking beyond simply one statement made, you push back and say "No I don't need to do that, I already have my answer".

But that's completely antithetical to why you came here.  
The only sensible question you asked in the OP was:
"Now my question is, what exactly is BLM trying to change?"

Also you don't know what confirmation bias is.
