'White Lives Matter' rallies flop as hardly anyone shows up

I was going to go to the one in Huntington Beach, to take pictures. But then I had other things to do.

I might have gone if there was free food and dancing.

Those are fed rallies

DANG IT!

It would have been a kind gesture if black people had showed up in support too.

Well.. I guess no million and a half dollar home for the founder.

It's almost as if there really isn't many white supremacists out there.

According to the media, every white person is a white supremacist, unless you can prove your wokeness.

Probably not many Asians showed up either.

...Or Muslims.

Truth, though many won't grant this consequence.

Perhaps somebody other than 'races' are simply trying to stir up dissention and division among races as we are seeing with black, Asian and white lately, for entirely different purposes than race itself. Time people started looking beyond the obvious. We can't have a faux saviour step in until conditions are met to warrant faux saving from.

America still focuses on monarchies from centuries gone by, when it was never monarchy that was the enemy in the first place, but simply power (even homegrown). Power and those in charge never makes itself or themselves obvious but stand behind others.

Communism was the enemy without, then it was terrorism, now a virus and no doubt soon aliens. But these were never the enemy but an excuse to unite people against a common enemy so that the people would be willing to give up freedoms for protection (previously through war at the expense of everyone's children but of those who were in power). Today freedoms and privacy are almost gone thanks to tech and not wars. Way to go people, as you squabble over politics. You talk about freedom and don't even realize it is already gone.

I think Trump being in the White House and his controversial speeches/tweets fueled their boldness.
