If you thought media coverage of the Aug. 28 "Restoring Honor" rally hosted in Washington D.C. by Fox News host Glenn Beck seemed like just another attack on conservatives, you're not alone. As noted by the Daily Caller's Jim Treacher, much of the coverage had a common thread: describing the crowd as "overwhelmingly white."

Why is that a bad thing? We don’t pander.
It is a badge of honor.

Isn’t the majority of the country white?

No whiter than the crowd that attended MLK's "I have a dream" speech.

Where non-whites banned? Were they unwelcome? The answer is a resounding no! So whose fault is it for their absence?

The MSM is obsessed with skin color... would they have asked the same question about an NAACP rally? Usually at those the whites are behind the speaker and the crowd is overwhelmingly black...
Might be time to walk into the New York Times and count the black faces...

I hear Sharpton’s “counter rally” was mostly black. Bunch of racists I guess.

Any group with the precise demographics of the nation - 12% black - is going to be “overwhelmingly” white. So what?

"Was the crowd overwhelmingly white?"Judging by the pictures posted I would say it was more.......pinkish than white./s/

If you want to go to a place where there are ZERO black faces - go to a Unitarian (bastion of liberal elite ethical humanist) Church. There will be NO black faces whatsoever...
The MSM misses that one... wonder why?

Even though the percentage was lower, there were probably more African-Americans present at Beck’s rally than at Sharpton’s.

It means it was proportional to the American population itself.

Conservative talking points should declare that the media is not being “nice.” The word “nice” being code speak to the swing voting white women. Nice, nice, nice “GOP loves MLK, but not nice, not nice, not nice Democratic Liberals hate color blindness.”

The AP article in last Sunday's Oklahoman said “predominately white” for Beck's rally but didn't say “predominately black” for sharpton’s rally. Wonder why?

Good Lord. But of course it was overwhelmingly white. After all, what percentage of black folk are Democrats? At least 90%, if not more.
Putzes.

From a pure statistical point of view, there’s a reason minorities are called minorities... why the hell does the media feel the need to make issue of it? Dr. King’s dream is still just a dream to the Liberals.

Because NONE of the MSM even attend church?
Another reason they love NObama—the churchless president.
