This reminds me of the George Michael song "Praying for Time" where the lyrics say "and Charity is a Coat you wear twice a year". Very good song and look it it up on YouTube!
So, non-white CEOs/rich guys are either non-existent or never put in place. Right. Skin color has to be a part of argument... I don't think the OP can do that either.
I'm pointing out that skin color and political orientation ARE part of the argument when people try to label others as 1%ers.
LOL it's like commenting that some people in the US don't like Obama because he's black and you turn around and accuse me of bring race into the argument.
The OWS movement is a hijacked sham just like the faux anti-war movement and they absolutely are trying to portray political rivals as being Thurston Howell III types.
This thread is nothing but a lame attempt to spin the truth. In 2005, Jay-Z donated 1 million dollars to Red Cross for Katrina . I see that numerous right wing blogs are embellishing the truth by stating or implying that this the total amount that he gave to charity in 2010.
This 6k is what he gave to his own charity in 2010, but the OP leaves out the numerous benefit concerts that he performs in and his other charitable donations. In 2011, he helped raise 1.25 million for his charity.
The purpose of this thread was to paint a picture of a liberal as a greedy person who does not put his money where his mouth is and donates hardly anything to charity. I am sure that people like this exist, but he's not one of them.

And I'm pointing at that basis of argument, the need for it.

The people who make skin color a central theme of argument, are idiots and ought to be put in place.

But those are the very games being played by the hijackers of the real OWS movement.
I sit back and laugh at peoples attempts to demonize certain 1%ers while someone like Oprah (whom I adore) that owns millions in jewelry is "not a 1%er" and the CEO of GE isn't a 1%er because he's Obama's advisor and other laughable laughable 1/2-arsed hypocritical justifications.
Ooooh and Tiger Woods, whom moved to Florida to avoid paying tens of millions in CA income taxes.....he isn't a 1%er either.
Gee, very interesting how some people get a free pass and others don't.

Most right-wingers on the internet just make up whatever "facts" they want, and then call it the truth. It does not matter one iota what the actual truth is.
