Where as if the marched on a black church or synagogue (for example) and did the same it WOULD be racism because it was directed AT the subject of their racism.
In other words: You can be racist and say racist things without it being racism based on the motivation and audience.
Am I close?
Sure the march could be an act of racism (no idea why the caps was required); however, it is not racism IMO. Now if this march was applauded by the community and they were complicit with the marchers (Keys to the city and 25% off at Tractor Supplies Plus to all of our brothers) then that would be racism and the march would be an act that lead to it.
