Where's Waldo?

Where's Waldo? And by that I mean, find the black people at Glen Beck's Rally.



It's a fun game and you can play it with all the photos I found on http://dc.about.com/od/protestsandrallies/ss/Glen-Beck-Rally-Pictures.htm

In case you need a clue, there is one gentleman in the upper left-center wearing a badge, presumably telling the white woman where to find the restroom.

Yes, you are being a racialist. You're trying to point out the lack of people of color at Beck's rally somehow speaks about the race relations of the entire group in attendance - putting emphasis on race to interpret the event.

One of the great points Glenn Beck made is that MLK said people should be judged by their character and not the color of their skin. That's what he means when he talks about "reclaiming civil rights". Look up the definition of term. It's not even about color! It's the right to equal treatment of ALL people.

Equal treatment certainly is not practiced now. Ignoring race perpetuates unequal treatment.

Actually, ignoring race means treating people for who they are and what they do, not the color of their skin. Should we forget how people have been treated in the past? Absolutely not! But we need to move to a point where people are colorblind to race. Continually pointing it out doesn't do that.

Being colorblind is perhaps a worthy future goal but is absolutely the wrong way to go when you have a rigged system in place. You can afford to be colorblind only if you aren't on the business end of that system. So I would agree with you if racism were not presently pernicious. Until then, being colorblind is just a rationalization for doing nothing.

Agreed. And I already made the point clear that color should be ignored but not actions. I'm glad we see eye to eye.
