That would not make any sense in context, given he's saying that black people don't have the same interests as BLM. He can't be both generalizing BLM as somehow representative of black people and also unrepresentative as well. Think about it.

It would only be racist, as I see it, to generalize in this way if one were saying that, essentially, the political movement in question would appeal to the interests of a community, if only the community were smarter/better/more morally sound. Denny is saying just the opposite--that BLM is morally bankrupt, and black people's interests aren't served by this deficient organization.

His statement can be incorrect, but it's hard to see how it could be considered racist.
