So today's rally was supposed to be the poster child for a perfect gathering filled with all races right? Why do all of the photos I've seen show an overwhelming majority of the people as white?

Interestingly, the first face I saw was black. I can't really make out the racial profiles of everyone though. Can you?

I'm not sure if it's pathetic or desperate that the right are pulling the race card.

I'm getting at the fact that many liberals here claimed that the Glen Beck rally was "blindingly white" and looked like a KKK rally but the people in the photos from events are the same, overwhelmingly white. Why did the race of the attendees make the Glen Beck rally a racist KKK event but the race of the attendees today made it perfect in the eyes of many liberals?

Stewart said it looks like the American public, 74% white 14% black and the rest "other".

Which one of the 3 or 4 total black folks did you pick out of that almost all white crowd? Come on, let's be honest... most of the people at the rally today were white, there's nothing wrong with that at all... that's my point.

Exactly, just like the other 2 DC rallies we've seen recently but apparently that's a racist mix when the group isn't liberal.

I was there. tons of people from all different races standing all around me, so I gotta say you're wrong. 4 Muslims with hilarious signs were standing right next to me, actually

you should really look at a few more pics other than just one shot before making that statement.

Of course there were different races there, we all agree on that but the majority of the people there today were white. It would be insane to argue against that, the majority of the US population is white and so is the attendance at most large events like this.

Show me some more pictures of the crowd today where you can easily make out the color of the people standing there, I'd love to see more.

Are you trying to say that the crowd today wasn't closely representative of the US population?
