Initially, I saw this rally as something with good intentions, but once I found out that the same person who backs the subgroups of people who tell me I'm a "sellout" and "not black enough" for pulling myself up from my own bootstraps, would be part of the rally, that just placed a bad taste in my mouth. I'll still check it out, but let's just hope I can walk without being harassed for not struggling and hustling.

It was basically a freakshow. Some people were sane, many were not.

For the talk of it being about unification, rather than hatred, they had some incredibly racist people speak, like that guy Charlie Hill.
