It Figures
Via DCSOB.
Yesterday afternoon, I took a slight detour on the way to the Metro, walking for three blocks along Constitution Avenue to see how big the crowds for the Reagan procession were. Not as big as the crowd on Broadway when the Yankees won the World Series in 1996, but not bad considering the short notice and awful heat.
But one thing about the crowds stood out. If you take out the office workers walking on the street behind the waiting masses and the police officers watching the crowd, I counted only three non-white people in a three-block stretch that contained hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people.
