On the Seattle news all of the footage was of primarily white teenagers (which makes sense looking at the demographics). I would imagine that the parade would be rightfully led by blacks - but this close-up photo makes it look like it could be primarily blacks in the parade.
The burning of the cross was race related, but the parade was definitely emphasizing the hate.

Maybe you would turn the other cheek in such a way that no one would ever know it happened?

I counted five blacks and seven whites. Hmmm... it appears that the community is coming together and supporting the pastor, and that is always a good thing.

If I lived in the area, I would be at the peaceful protest too and I'm white. I'd bring my kids so make that 2 more whites. I think if the march stayed peaceful, it did not contribute to worsening race relations but highlighted community togetherness. Good for that minister.
