Let's be honest with ourselves. The crowd in this #TakeWallStreet
vid from yesterday's launch of the occupation appears to be 99.9% white
folks of middle-class backgrounds who never got off their laptops and
phones to get serious about organizing the folks who are suffering most
under corporate dominance. 99% white event in NYC where whites are the
minority?? (numerically speaking, anyhow)
I admire the moxy of the concept for this movement. But something is clearly
wrong. There has obviously been a complete failure to join forces with
the grassroots of NYC. This looks like a bunch of out of towners who
rode in on MetroNorth. Sorry folks, you do NOT represent "the 99%". If
my post puts your nose out of joint, why don't you look in the mirror
and check what color it is.
