Tens of thousands of minorities in protest marches demanding "reform" of existing laws.

Poll question: Tens of thousands of minorities in protest marches demanding "reform" of existing laws.

My sense is that many DU'ers, but certainly not all, are supportive of these marches. I suppose that when a DU'er sees a street filled with minorities protesting, we are initially (perhaps always) supportive of them.

I can't think of any historical occasions when this many minorities were protesting an "injustice" which many DU'ers would have believed in their hearts was really not an "injustice", so they couldn't support the goal of the march, even if they supported the right of the marchers to express themselves.

For those who are not supportive of the protesters, is this an historical "first" or are there historical examples of marches of similar numbers of minorities in which the goal was something that a progressive could not support?
