Yes, but how many who agree with them, but have day jobs they need to go to? I can assure you that my childhood friend was not joining the BLM protests, but he was still calling for Nazis to try to march in Oakland.

I know. My point is that is largely meaningless

* "Racists march in racist territory to intimidate people elsewhere" * "People elsewhere goad the weak cowardly racists"

Uh, obviously? I'd be surprised if that didn't happen.

Racism is not popular. Oakland isn't alone, I have heard the same sentiment from New Yorkers, Seattleites, Houston; urban areas do not tolerate that kind of anti-American discrimination.
