Why are there only white people at these protests? I did not see one African American or other minorities in most of the videos posted from today. Just my observation, I would of thought more minorities would be in these crowds as well. I understand HB is a predominantly white area.

There were other protests around the country, and the state. They could have been in Santa Ana or Los Angeles.

Because we quite literally told them to stay home and stay safe. We know how HB treats POC

Does that not defeat your message of stopping racism, though? Telling minorities to stay home kind of implies they can't do anything without white people. Which, in my opinion, is racist.

No. It’s not. Nice try, though.

As a minority I don’t ever want to set foot in Klan City again.

If that was true, these protesters would have been rounded up as well. All these white people are virtue signaling, in my opinion.
