Occupy Wall Street's Race Problem.

[StillFaggyAF]

Interesting read. props on this thread

Interesting but I think the article falls short. I have participated in the Occupy Wall Street protests in NY and saw nothing to suggest Blacks would feel out of place there. Plenty of Blacks were there, and we all know Russel Simmons, Kanye, and Lupe Fiasco along with many other Black rappers have called themselves supporters. I hear where the author is coming from but the OWS people to me are on our side. They may not understand that Blacks have dealt with unjust police policies for years but many are willing to listen. I support the OWS movement 100% as a Black man and will attend another protest Saturday.

Either:

NIggas is too damn lazy and/or disillusioned and/or cynical and/or hopeless and/or unaware of the stakes to go out and protest

or

Niggas is too scared to go protest because they could lose what little work they do have if they're at a protest and not at their work place. Most blacks cant afford to be taking days off to hold a damn sign. Fuck around and be holding a "Will Work for Food" sign instead.

 

[earth two superman]

nah ive seen PLENTY of blacks at the NY one.

The race problem is them white households getting what they want and it's right back to the way it was. They're gonna shut they doors in our faces and lock them. Just like they been doing. White folks with white problems. They don't stand up for niggas, but now they want bodies for they little movement. Good luck with that, I say.

I dont need no white man to stand up for me

i really feel like it may have started with a few sincere people but now the whole thing reeks of some kind of covert operation. when has protesting and shit EVER yielded results as large as are demanded? shit, even after all that sitting in and shit black folks in america are not better off. just fucked over in another kind of way. smh @ muthafuckas still thinking the u.s is a real democracy. that shit been dead and the economy been dead since 1933. you muthafuckas better start learning how to grow food find water , build homes and clothe yourselves cause all that picketing and 'civil unrest" is a waste of energy.this will serve a historical lessons for generations to come that when u start something off wrong (like the u.s.) it will crumble horribly.

^Every grassroots organization is eventually infiltrated, thats why the revolution wont and cant be televised. That's one of the realest quotes ever.

^^^^ Cosign this smart man. Once this shit blows over them white folks aint gonna be holding hands with us and it's back to the same ol same ol. They see a black person outside their place of business with a sign they usually call the police. Corporations BEEN fuckin us over. Whitie just now realizing they been getting fucked a little too. Until I see some crackas protesting with us for OUR movements u aint gonna be seeing me at none of these Occupy protests. Also niggas need to quit with the marching and holding signs. That shit really don't be doing nothing. It's 2011, not 1965.

I think you and those who think like you should be exported to North Africa. I swear to god (for me that's unusual) you hip hop culture types seriously need to find another country to live in....cause you sure as hell don't appreciate this one. FYI not only are black folks not better off...most white people are losing more ground every day & they can't hide behind there skin color & snivel there lives away.

You see how you wrote that.......them two shits aren't even the same thing!

Just because the last few years white folks have been losing their houses to foreclosures and not being able to find jobs isnt the same thing as us black folks not being able to even get a dam home loan or get hired for a job because of skin color for over 50 decades!..........yall white folks think your hurting now.....boo hoo hooo for less than half a decade.........yall are just now starting to feel just a small fraction of what us black people have been going through for dam near half a century!

shut up bitch. i've moved MYSELF to africa. fuck the u.s. and fuck you too. you and your cracka brothers can have that raggedy piece of shit. and for rthe record you coward bitch, hip-hop is not culture, thusly i am not a "hip-hop culture type". so you say that white folks aint better off (since the civil rights era) ? so youre proposing that there is no race [problem and that blacks and whites share an ecuivocal social sitiuation in amerikkka? GTFOH you fucking troll. youre one of those rare posters i would seriously come out of pocket to meet just so i can hear you scream through your bloody fingers when i knock your fucking teeth in.

that occupy wall street facade just shows you how delsusional and hypocritical crakkas really are. youre standing in front of the jp morgan chase building with a sign that reads "debt=slavery" but when nyggas brought up the fact that jp morgan chase used to insure slaves and cash in slave vouchers yall crakkas said "oh nygger, quit your whining and stop living in the past."

 

[playmaker88]

White people having.. Nigga nightmares.. they got a cold alot of us have the flu...

A small dose of how the other half is living = Chickensoup for the soul.

 

[playmaker88]

Good points but now that some whites are finally seeing how unfair the system is, it could help blacks and all races in the long run because finally change could happen that would impact the avg person. Examples being more low income housing, some debt forgiveness, and an ending to the war in Afghanistan so money spent there can finally be spent here. Not saying its gonna happen quickly but if this movement holds its ground and people keep participating, things can change for the better. That's why so many Black civil rights leaders have embraced this movement, everyone can be helped if we just keep pushing for change. We cant give up now.....the OWS movement really won me over when I saw so many of the protestors speaking up on racism and the police, issues Blacks have mentioned for decades. Theres room for everyone in this, any issues that we have can be brought to the spotlight if Blacks start participating more.

You really think the civil rights movement accomplished nothing?? Those people holding signs and doing sit ins helped Blacks get the right to vote and do business anywhere we please in the South, the movement wasn't perfect obviously but it did accomplish a lot. What should people be doing instead, shooting at cops and govt officials?

Too late provocateurs have already infiltrated. In the media they are already using buzz words to define it as a democratic party movement and using the tea party as a dividing opposition, I think you can see where this is going. Theres money starting to flow in the circles and thats whats going to muck shit up completely.

see, if you was into your bible you would know that that shyt aint gon' work. i dont remember the exact book but to paraphrase: "there was a poor wise man who saved the city, but when the city got back on its feet, they aint remember that nygga." you can be as myopic as you want to be, but theyve shown you who they are time and time again

 

[cool amp]

Niggas make everything about race or how black people don't fit in or how something doesn't accurately speaks to black people.

Niggas will complain in heaven.

so in other words, them crakkas sho'll put you in a tough position with this occupy wall street didnt they?
