Less than half of the expected overflow crowds turned out for the “We Are One” concert celebration featuring Beyonce and others at the National Mall in Washington D.C. this weekend.
As you can tell by the picture, there was barely anyone in attendance to even notice that Beyonce was singing off key even more than usual.
Remember the Million Man March on Washington? Well, the sparse crowd on the National Mall was more like the ten thousand man march.
It looks like the scaremongers succeeded in keeping the droves away from D.C. and the National Mall this weekend. It’s all for the best. With that many black people in one place there was bound to be an incident or two.
I hear there are more uniformed police and Secret Service in town than Obama supporters. And guess who’s footing the bill for all that extra security?
If you’re in Washington D.C., check in and let us know if you’re having fun yet.

Loyal reader Tasha explains the discrepancy between what we see in the pics and what we’re being told.
Hi Sandra,
I just saw your post inquiring into the whereabouts of all the people at the “We are One” concert. I am currently in DC and went to attend the concert yesterday, and I can attest that it is not scarce because people are not here. The Military Police and DC Police stopped letting people into the Lincoln Memorial around 2:30pm, stating that it was full to capacity (Bull….). There were hundreds of thousands more people on the outskirts (not shown in the pictures) trying to get in and we were directed to the Washington Monument to watch the concert on the Jumbo Screens. People were very frustrated and upset because it was never mentioned that tickets would be needed for this “free” concert that was open to the public. However, most stayed in good spirits and were just happy to be in the mix. So don’t be fooled thinking that “we” aren’t here, cause we are and it’s beautiful!
Peace,
Tasha
