Why are blacks virtually invisible at OWS? (Brown, Minnesota, Sudanese)

Sadly many may not realize that 'Zionist' has racial undertones. Not an excuse.

» ‘RACISM!’ – #Occupy Activists Clash After Internal Survey Reveals #OccupyWallStreet 81.2% White, 1.6% Black - Big Government

Big Government has learned that a major internal fight has erupted among Occupy Wall Street organizers after activists began circulating an infographic published by FastCompany, the “progressive business” magazine.

The infographic in question depicts the results of an internal online survey conducted by Occupy Wall Street supporters at occupywallst.org.

Some activists were outraged, however, that the survey results and the infographic show Occupy Wall Street to be 81.2 percent white, and only 1.6 percent black.

I imagine the media will start asking, "where is the diversity?", you know, the way they did with the TP rallies.

Yeah right. Only right-wing protester groups can be racist.

I just have a theory so don't call me racist or stupid if it is wrong, I know if I was black I would not want to be in the middle of a crowd of white angry people about anything. I don't care what the issue is. Crowds have no smarts when the emotions get going, they just become animals. You can't reason with them at that point. Blacks have become the scapegoat on many issues so IMO they stay out of the middle of it and don't go there to begin with, just smart.

And that differs from a white in the middle of a crowd of angry black people how?

Probably not. It works both ways you know. But I don't plan to see any blacks at the TEA parties or the OWS crowds.

Where are all the black faces at OWS bump.

I can only speak about Philadelphia.

About 50% of the protesters at Occupy Philly are Black.

Period.

That's too many. Only 44% of Philadelphians are black.

Oops, I might have been in error. It's possible I mistook a South Asian, a Pacific Islander, or a Latino for Black ...
