Title: "White Man March" Held & No One Noticed

Yeah so apparently this (http://gawker.com/white-man-march-happens-nobody-cares-1545423171) was a thing:

Quote
Organized by Kyle Hunt, host of an online radio station that's worried about the impending "destruction of the white race," the event was supposed to see throngs of white dudes in light khakis and sunglasses on the march in cities everywhere. Instead, it seems to have attracted fewer than 100 people, who mostly just took photos with their "diversity = white genocide" banners and went home.

Right...I guess it was hyped by people on Stormfront, the BNP and other white supremacist sites:

But, like most things they try at, it was a major failure:

Small groups showed up in Cincinnati, Ohio and Birmingham, Ala. (where police quickly removed their signs), and one guy from New Zealand participated, but that's the only evidence the racist rally ever happened.

Cue ranting about "TEH EVOL JOOS" suppressing news of the march.

Village Voice has a snarky article (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2014/03/white_man_march_march_15_2014_kyle_hunt_follow-up_protest_signs.php) on it.

This needs to be used more often.

Time to write a filk based on the melody to the Monkees song, Zor & Zam.

"A bigot held a White Power march & nobody came!"

For those wondering, here's Zor & Zam.

I really don't get it with these people.  They confuse "privilege" with "rights" as in if everyone gets the same privileges as they do, their "rights" are being taken away. 

These same people don't seem to understand that they're not being "oppressed" because they can't live their lives as they see fit at the expense of others.  Oppression comes when a person is being denied rights such as the right to vote, marry, get qualified jobs, etc. because of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or being perceived as a member of a group of derision to another group.

I would certainly like to know what type of discrimination Kyle Hunt had experienced.

Furthermore, I also don't get why they think that a "white genocide" is really occurring.  I don't see white people being rounded up, sent to camps, and then systematically killed.

That youtube video in the Gawker article is actually one of the saddest collections of selfies I've ever seen on the internet.

I guess some of them aren't selfies, one pic had five whole people in it!
