The only Blacks that would deign to hang out with a bunch of crazy, white trash are teh ones who already do so whereever winos loiter. Plus the average wino probably smells better than the OWS crowd.

Methinks the "author" is just trying to ensure the racism pot doesn't go too long without a good stir.

“A Washington Post opinion piece offered one reason — black resignation: “Perhaps black America’s absence is sending a message to the Occupiers: ‘We told you so! Nothing will change. We’ve been here already. It’s hopeless.’ “

But don’t change who you vote for, or anything radical like that.

Just because you CAN post, doesn’t always mean that you should.

You can say that again.

“Blacks are MIA from just about everything.

I rarely see them at our church or country club. It’s like they can’t pray unless they are singing and dancing.”

Sorry, I am calling “Seminar Liberal trying to act witty.”

My sense of it is that the Occupy crowd is almost entirely college-educated. As I recall their demands are forgiveness of student loans and automatic jobs for people with degrees in XYZ studies. (XYZ = Women’s/Asian/African/Ethnic)

Now yes I am assuming that the black proportion of this subgroup is as small as 1%....

The black dropout rate in college is much higher than the white dropout rate...at least it used to be.

Obama Supports the Occupy Movement because he has gotten to where he is through Victim Manipulation,the chief stategy of the Movement,use the Suckers to get Power and then Rape every Hard working American to Keep that power by Creating Chaos,and dividing every demographic that exists.
Of course you use ALL the assets of your allies the Rich,Media and academia to perpetuate the Scam while at thge same time excoriating them as the villains

Typical Liberal paternalistic justification for "helping" them stay on the reservation. "They can't help themselves, so we must (at your expense)".

Comments:

1. We need a LOT more Larry Elders.

2. Blacks have been propagandized to believe that they are unwelcome at TEA Party rallies.

3. Blacks are less than welcome among OWSers, and certainly not actively recruited.

Sadly, the a segment of the black man population lives only by the “what can it do for me” philosophy.

An edit, trying to be fair to those who should not be trying to put on the shoe.

Blame affirmative action admissions for that fiasco. Lower standards in most cases lead to lower performance, except in some cases where the less able student has a real work ethic.

Generalize much? My father and grandfathers were some of the hardest working black men you ever saw.

Because they know that if it were them pitching tents in the financial district, protesting, making a mess and crapping on cop cars, they’d get beat, that’s why.
