I do not believe that everyone participating in the million man march (or half-million man march, depending on the estimate you want to believe), but Farrakhan is a racist.
However, since it is obvious that he is a racist, going to a march specifically set up by him is problematic. David Duke could organizer a rally in opposition to illegal immigration, but I would not attend, because that would be support (indirect though it may be) for what David Duke has espoused (and still does, though he hasn't been in the news lately).
If Tom Tancredo of Colorado set up such a march, I would go (hypothetically). He is no racist, but is the most outspoken member of the US government ragarding illegal immigration. Would the march still be labelled as racist? Certainly.
I think those that march without considering the motives and viewpoints of the organizers may in fact be showing support for causes they don't really believe in.
