Everyone with a pair of ears or eyes heard and or saw that this weekend that Glenn Beck was holding his "Restoring Honor" Rally at the Lincoln Memorial in D.C. It just happened to fall on the same day as Martin Luther King Jr's famous " I Have a Dream Speech". I will take Glenn at his word when he said he did not know it was the same day and that it was "Divine providence".
Now the goal of the rally was to support a scholarship fund for Wounded Warriors it was not to be politically based or racially based, though that is what it has been turned and twisted into. The rally had been declared for months as a religious event and attendees were encouraged not to bring signs but their children.
As Barack Obama was celebrating his victory of the White House the Main Stream Media ( MSM) was declaring a post racial society and America. With these claims though, it does not stop them from calling Tea Parties or the "Restoring Honor" Rally mainly white. This maybe true but the question I have is WHY fuel flames or start arguements that should not even matter or are not really there?
Huffington Post ( or as I like their name the HuffPo ) said this in the first sentence to set the stage, "Conservative commentator Glenn Beck and tea party champion Sarah Palin appealed Saturday to a vast, predominantly white crowd on the National Mall to help restore traditional American values..."
The New York Times: "The overwhelmingly white and largely middle-aged crowd Saturday was a mix of groups that have come together under the Tea Party umbrella."
The two statements are a just two selected from the MSM it give us a picture of how race is still used on the side of the fence which is supposed to be NON RACIAL. It is so hard to wrap your head around why race is still a issue in this country but when you really look into the issue it is not hard to find the truth. Marin Luther King said "It is not a issue of Black and White. It is a issue of justice for all people."
