I think Dr. West meant more American Fall as in season with a double meaning of the fall of the system that is strangling our country. Mostly an echo of the "Arab Spring" buzz phrase that became so popular. It is Fall time after all.
I think West was comparing what the people who organized this thing wanted to believe comparing it to Egypt. You know the first person I heard use the term Arab spring was none other than Barack Obama. That scared me then and even more now hearing a radical like Cornel West likening this thing to what happened in Cairo.

I am certain that the people I think were behind this thing, from the beginning, want to see our system fail. Those people do involve some from the Muslim Brotherhood, I am sure. When you throw in some like Bill Avery and his contemporaries you certainly have the possibility of violence before it is all over with. The radicals could pull the trigger any time now and the useful idiots would allow themselves to become more useful.

My protest starts tomorrow here in Kansas City. I can't go for long tomorrow but I hope to be a positive part of the movement.

i kinda laughed a little when i saw those last two words.

Oh, so it isn't a 'riot.' Just another misleading thread title.
Got it.
This can become a riot as soon as the Bill Avery type radicals think the time is ripe. They just pull the trigger and all those demonstrators become the very useful idiots the communists loved so much in the 1930s on college campuses.

Hang in there believing what you believe and lets hope that you are right and I am wrong. I certainly don't want to be able to say "I told you so" as that would be signaling the end of the US as we know it.
