#2 a good site to get info on this is

incidentally, the protest in Washington DC was probably 25-40% Jewish; blacks were only about 1-3% of the crowd

The Washington Post dishonestly reported the event as a festival of diversity which is no doubt what the organizers of the protest wanted it to report.

#3 3% mhw? I was there, and id say definitely more blacks than that. At least 10%, maybe 20%. Certainly at least as many blacks as there were white gentiles. Maybe I should have wandered over to the Unitarian-Universalist sign, but it seeemed that there were relatively few white gentiles, at least in identifiable groups. My sense was of a black-Jewish cause in essence (albeit with more Jews actually present) plus a scattering of other support.

Of course the mix of speakers at the podium was different. I also dont know the numbers at the other rallies.

#4 I had the impression that the DC rally was more heavily Jewish. At least that's what it seemed to me while I was walking from the Metro to the rally. I'm still trying to figure out what the significance of the sign “Vegan Jews Against Genocide” is.

The diffuseness of the offered solutions disappointed me, but really I expected that. Rapper Russell Simmons saying that we shouldn't do anything military because it will seem we're just interested in the oil—What? Al Sharpton seemed sane, for a change. James Zogby got his traditional dig at Israel in. And, Clooney did not speak, for which we are all grateful.
