99% what? ‘Occupy Wall Street’ organizers look for minorities
By Matthew Boyle
The Daily Caller – 22 hrs ago

**SNIP**

One minority activist has appeared to speak to the Wall Street protesters: socialist and Princeton professor Cornel West.

Malkin and Gainor also told TheDC that while news organizations have failed to report on these protesters’ lack of minority representation, tea party rallies attracted accusations of racism for what some reporters perceived was a similar lack of racial diversity.

“The liberal media will only engage in racial bean-counting of protest crowds when it serves their political ends: Namely, painting the Right as homogenous and non-inclusive,” Malkin said. “We heard endless derision about the tea party’s lack of skin-color diversity from Hollywood and the national press. But not a peep about the Abercrombie & Fitch-meets-Apple central casting mob swamping lower Manhattan.”

Gainor added that mainstream media representatives “only see what they want to see.” He said reporters scoured tea party rallies for evidence of racism, while failing to notice how “white” the left-wing crowds are.

Minorities tend not to be trust fund hippies.

Re whiteness of the Occupiers: Zombies showed up.

And, as horror movie aficionados know, they tend to spend a lot of time in their coffins and be active at night, when they seek to feed from live, working flesh hence their predominantly pale color.

If they are the 99% then the people I know, work with, see at the supermarket, pass on the street and see at the football stadium and restaurants - you know the “normal people” you see every day, must be a huge 1 percent.

Good article, hope you downloaded the pictures referenced in the article. I tried to find the photos and found only this-

Uh Oh! Something terrible happened!

I’m very sorry, but there is nothing here! Either the page you are looking for doesn’t exist, or the URL you typed or followed is incorrect or misspelled.

Why don’t you try and search for it?

I’m sure all the news networks will open every report with “the predominately white Wall Street protesters” just like they did with the Tea parties.

The liberal coalition is made up of various interest groups, don’t you know? Which means they protest seperately. Blacks here, latinos there, old people to the right, women to the left, union workers inbetween, and gays bringing up the rear [rimshot!].
