WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite rain and cold weather, marchers filled several blocks in Washington on Saturday as they rallied in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day march that was at times also a rally against President-elect Donald Trump.

Civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton had organized Saturday's "We Shall Not Be Moved" march and rally ahead of Monday's Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. But Trump, whose inauguration will take place in less than a week, was also on marchers' minds.

[ASOC]

So much hate. Raw, racial hatred.

What would have happened if large groups of whites had marched against O'bammY?

Oh, that's right. Nobody did that......

[DoughtyOne]

Look at the hate in that crowd.

Martin Luther King would be ashamed of them.

I didn’t know Martin Luther King but I know he would hate what these people are doing.

Content of their character, not color of their skin. This country has achieved a lot of what he dreamed of. Now we have to work on that whole character thing.

I love what President Trump is planning on doing for the inner cities.

The comments from ordinary people quoted in the story are, at best, TEPID in comparison with the hysteria in the media generally.

Just how hard is it in DC to fill up a few blocks with blacks ?

[ColdOne]

The joke used to be they gave MLK a holiday in Feb....years shortest month, once again screwing the black man.
