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."

I’m calling it: Godwin’s Fourth Law of Racism.

‘When a lib calls someone a racist, they have lost
the argument.’

I’m calling it: Godwin’s Fifth Law Racist Journalists.

‘When a journalist writes ‘predominantly white’ they
are racist, probably ‘self-hating’; and they have
lost the argument.’

I don't get it - is that supposed to be OUR fault?? So, WHY is it "overwhelmingly white". WE'RE certainly NOT keeping other races away. So, why don't THEY come to these rallies???

Please compare the % of race in the participation in the Beck Rally to the % of race participant in Rev AL’s (Don’t even worry about the attendees neither had control over that facet. Even though Beck’s were more varied.

Both Beck and Rev Al could only control who spoke, were honored, sang, prayed etc.......Now let’s talk about who was inclusive and who was racist?

I - and probably several million other Americans - are tired of this pandering crap.

Maybe...just maybe...the rallies are "overwhelmingly white" because no blacks bothered to show up.

Maybe the prisons have more blacks because more blacks committed crimes.

Maybe a "mind is a terrible thing to waste" because there are a lot of young blacks out there who are wasting their minds.

The media is against slavery, but thinks that white people should be responsible for every thing black people do.

Their comments show what closet bigots these LSM people are, with a seething passion to keep racial unrest rolling on.

There were not any "White only" signs at the rally; the "porta potties" weren't segregated by "White" and "Colored"...where do these people get this crap? Do they get strapped into chairs and forced to watch "Roots" and "The Color Purple" over and over?

If there is any seqment of society that will NOT let racism and slavery go, it is the MAINSTREAM MEDIA. They make every attempt to keep it all stirred up.

Well, this American is NOT their daddy, not their mama, and I am not a plantation master. If they don't WANT to come to the rally, well, freedom of choice is what makes this country great.

For those of the "moocher" class, f**k'em...I don't care about, or help, anyone who doesn't care about, or try to help themselves.

I probably shouldn't be this way, but I've been watching this gimme, gimme, gimme, crap for over 50 years, and I've had enough of it. Whites don't hate blacks, (some) blacks FORCE whites to not like them because of their attitude and behavior, and color doesn't have a damn thing to do with it.

Not surprising that there are no blacks at Unitarian churches. Their congregations are virtual atheists aren’t they?

Racists see color the way thieves see theft.

It may be a cultural thing that blacks do not attend such rallies.

Yes, but the Sharpton crowd was oberwhelming black. There was about the same ratio of black/white, white/black.

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

Most non-whites would not attend anything that is not approved by the Plantation Mas'ah because they're committed to standing behind the Party that panders to them as a second-class voting block.

They've lined up behind the President BASED PRIMARILY ON SKIN COLOR.

They aren't PERMITTED to think for themselves as to whether an event such as 8/28 is something they'd be interested in checking out.

They'd be accused of being traitors to their Party's official position of POLITICALLY CORRECT racism.

It's not that they have a problem with racism. It's just that you have to follow the dictates of the correct racism.

There were Blacks on the podium, and Blacks in the crowd.

The media is missing the whole point, and trying to make sure everyone else does too.

This wasn’t about race. It wasn’t about politics. It was about a return to God, each person renewing their relationship as a means to start rebuilding our nation.

The real question is, were Blacks welcome there? The answer to that is a resounding yes.

Glenn was told of a man who came to Washington to attend Al Sharpton’s counter protest. The guy stopped by the Beck Rally to protest. So he listened for a few moments and realized there was nothing to protest.

He left a converted individual. He never made it to the Sharpton love fest.

Print that media whores.

Christians who suspect Beck, chalk one up for Christ here. Glenn moved him back from the dark side. You should praise God for that. He does work in mysterious ways. He is capable of working through any of us, for His will to be done.

No, that is wonderful. Do you have a link?

They probably make an issue of it, to hopefully generate more revenue, draw attention to itself and discussion...which it’s obviously done here.

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ---George Orwell

It takes great courage for anyone of color to stand against the flow and not go-along-to-get-along when the blind masses exhibit constant...and often ugly...pressure do so or be accused being an "Uncle Tom" or some other such slur.

Just as Muslims are expected to have their shared commitment to that cult be the ultimate determinant of their loyalties, those of color are expected to show the same loyalty based on their skin pigmentation.

Yet they claim at the same time to be more "progressive" on racial issues...the "enlightened" ones.

Liberalism is literally a jumble of contradictions, distortions and lies.
