The Occupy movement has been decidedly white. You may not have heard that, as you did about the Tea Party movement, just as you didn’t hear about the anti war movement being overwhelmingly white. That’s because the media wanted a certain narrative out there regarding the Tea Party movement. Heaven forbid they mention the many black Tea Party speakers, but so far, the Occupy Movement hasn’t even had that.

Conservative white pastors better never try this kind of stuff in THEIR churches or the feds will crack down hard on them. Even take away their tax-exempt status.

Then these pastors need to have their tax exempt status revoked so they can defile as political action committees.

Haha....I just realized my autocorrect changed “re-file” to defile”. How apropos!
