A smattering of white people on Saturday stood up to discrimination against their race that exists only in their minds.
The so-called "White Man March" was the brainchild of an organizer named Kyle Hunt, who wrote on his website that he expected "thousands" of people to take part in "coordinated pro-white activity."
By the looks of it, his vision may have been a bit lofty. The demonstrations appear to have mostly involved a few people here and there holding up signs decrying "diversity." Hunt's movement did, however, earn a ton of mockery on Twitter with the hashtag #WhiteManMarchProtestSigns.
There was some participation though. Individuals from Missouri, Arkansas and even New Zealand posted photos on the event's website. Most of the photos showed no more than a couple white guys holding banners that read "'DIVERSITY' = WHITE GENOCIDE," apparently the event's rallying cry.

(14,733 posts)Silliest darned thing. Humans are humans. We've got 99.99whatever% of the same genes. Giving people grief and treating them as 'lesser' because they happen to express a few proteins differently is medieval mumbo jumbo. White, black, yellow, orange, there's no need to try and 'take our country back', just because the proportion of people with a bit more melanin in their skin is growing.
