I wholeheartedly agree that there should be more protests against religious oppression. I attended one here in SF in support of the Danish gov't when the world went nuts over cartoons.
They do protest the Darfur government. But keep in mind that China is directly arming the people committing these atrocities and doing everything in their power at the UN to thwart help for Darfur. Besides, despite China's quite direct connection to the genocide, the posters don't protest China, but simply urge China to change its policies with regard to Darfur.
@annasimonovna I do hope the Darfuris and the South Sudanese expels my Chinese people from their lands. The more we can starve China, the sooner the regime will fall,.... I hate what this government did. Turn a bunch of desparate peasants into angry ogres. Sure blame the West for all our problems... *facepalm*.

You obv don't know SF politics very well. This tiny protest is NOTHING compared to the massive anti-war protests that happen here constantly. It is actually NOT so trendy here to protest the Evils of Communists, because the city swings so far to the left, which is why you don't see MORE people at this protest.
Actually, I doubt that, since this is in SF, where it is prohibitively expensive to own a car or a house.
I do agree that chanting "Money doesn't matter" is a little nonsensical here, but I don't see how you can call any of these people ignorant for being against genocide in Darfur, which is what they/we were protesting.
