“which was one of the whitest crowds in D.C. in recent memory”
...that’s because we all conspired and washed our t-shirts in “new and improved Tide”!
I think we need a new capitol. It is not reflective of the country’s demographics to have the seat of our government in a predominately Black city.
When people accuse conservative crowds of being white, we really need to ask what their concern is. Is it somehow a immoral to be white? White crowds are not somehow automatically racist. How many times do white people try to reach out to minorities to no avail? Our own church has gone to extreme measures to integrate, and we have finally managed to get a more diverse crowd. But the whole time it was a struggle. Are well meaning whites to blame if blacks want no part of them?
Blacks were clearly invited and welcomed at Beck’s rally. Sharpton is the one who fostered segregation. How ironic that he claimed that this day belonged exclusively to blacks, when thousand of white lives were also dedicated to the struggle, first to emaciate slaves, and later to give them equal rights. Several blacks did courageously choose to come to Beck’s rally, which is perhaps what the liberals fear the most. Just as whites once were castigated for supporting MRK, these blacks bravely attended Beck’s despite the taunts, and even threats, of those who shared their skin color.
If liberals fail to segregate the races, there’s no telling what can happen.
