Sigh...it's sad that many people still say things like this. The fact that you think it wasn't is mindblowing.
Racism has been the same as it's been since the 60's. Nothing has changed. Trump had nothing to do with it. In fact, Trump has yet to say anything racist to blacks...so....where are you even pulling these facts? He's the first President who's actually wanted to fund poor areas that most wouldn't even touch.
Because he wants to ban illegals? Is that it? If you give me "the KKK supports him" I'm going to just laugh at you.
I agree trump didn't start it. we did get better after the civil rights movement. racist went undercover for the most part. they started to ratchet up when we elected Obama, now they are out and proud.
like it or not trump has embolden racists just by not immediately disavowing people like david duke. America has elected a man who wants to register Muslims, build walls, brags about being powerful and rich enough to grab puss without asking, so yes it is "mind blowing" to ignore that we now have a president that calls Mexicans rapists and criminals only "supposing" some are good. the crass attitude and mind set is what the woman's march was all about.
Stop, stop, stop with this 'power' or 'bravery' stuff. It doesn't take 'power' to show up at a march. Bravery ? Geez, were they facing down Bull Connor, water hoses, the Pinkertons at a labor strike, tanks ?
As for 'power,' we'll see. Do you have any measures of how much power the march had ?
It doesn't take power, it IS power, when millions of women show up in solidarity to march for issues they care about. Numbers in a democracy is POWER.
LOL at any supposed "activism." Transgenders and Blacks have already condemned the self-indulgent narcissistic temper tantrum march as sexist and bigoted.

Guess all those Mexicans and Muslims who are out and support Trump are just lunatics then. (shrugs shoulders)
BTW, he only wants to register Muslims with terrorist ties and he wants to build a wall to keep out the illegal Mexican and the criminal ones. How they all got lumped into one category (illegal Mexicans=all Mexicans are criminals/rapists) is racist in itself, but most people don't even see that. But keep drinking the Kool-Aid.
Where were these women, they were right here. Many of them may have been involved in protests.
Really? Where were the hundreds of thousands of women marching on Washington, DC to protest Obama drone bombing and killing innocent foreign women and children. Have any links? Post them.

What? Transgenders and "blacks" are not one monolithic group. Some may have and they're entitled to their opinion. My transgender niece and my black neighbors and friends here in Philly don't happen to agree, as several attended the March.
and??? women are not stupid, we don't have abortions because what others say or think, woman have abortions for their own reasons.
So... your assertion is that Blacks are just innately FAR less capable of managing their own fertility? What are you trying to say about the grotesquely lopsided abortion percentages by race?
The difference is that in times before there were rights they were protesting for. This time no one can clearly answer a question about what rights they are protesting for. It is clearly a temper tantrum because their candidate lost.
It's not a temper tantrum.
You realize that those calling it a temper tantrum is demeaning. It's an attempt to minimize the event (because millions of women participating in an event is something that needs to be dismissed, minimized, ignored), and to dismiss the women as childish. Grownups don't throw temper tantrums, children do.
These women have valid concerns about the world we live in, and they took the time and the opportunity to demonstrate. You may not have liked some of the speeches that were made. Guess what, the marchers may not have liked all the speeches either. But the message was that great numbers of women were able to organize at relatively short notice a massive, global march. The message was that women care, and that women deserve respect, and that women are politically active and will act.
That's not a temper tantrum.
