Today the Washington Post reported that African Americans, who are 12.6 percent of the U.S. population, make up only 1.6 percent of Occupy Wall Street.
It’s too bad the Occupy Movement couldn’t be like the tea party.
An April 2010 Gallup poll found that 6% of tea party support came from non-hispanic blacks.

Up twinkles for the tea party.
Where’s the NAACP?

In addition to virtually no African Americans represented, I’ll bet the percent of these “demographics” are also < 2%, as well:
1. Hispanics
2. Persons older than 35
3. Persons who are either not "silver spooners" (OWS, first class) or not homeless (OWS, second class)
4. Persons not connected to the "community organizing" or communist groups
Other than that, they represent the 99%

Proof positive the OWS crowd is racist. Raise your hand if you disagree, thought so…..
Liz commented:
Bunch of racists. What, them shouting “gas the Jews” wasn’t enough clue for you? Wasn’t David Duke down there? The American people are light years ahead of the media on this one. They’d have separate drinking fountains if they were even advanced enough to want clean running water.
Joshua commented:
Let’s even take that Nov. 10-13 PPP poll showing a decrease in support for the Occupy Wall Street movement overall. It directly asks for supporters of the goals of both, the Occupy Wall Street movement and the Tea Party movement.
African-Americans who support OWS’ goals: 39&.
African-Americans who support Tea Party’s goals: 9%.

“More Blacks Supported Tea Party Movement Than Support #Occupy Movement”?
What is this, a joke statement?

WILL BLACKS EVER EMBRACE LIBERTY?
Reflecting on the election on Tuesday, I am beginning to believe that a majority of Blacks will never give up the Socialist mantra and embrace freedom from economic suppression. Since Obama’s election in 2008, we have seen more race based animosity toward liberty, so much so that I am amazed at the entitlement attitudes. The difference between living off the largesse of statists and living in liberty doesn’t even get discussed in Black conversations, except in articles by Thomas Sowell and Walter E. Williams. In my view, this shows a lack of confidence in individual ability, a lack of creative intelligence, a lack of historical perspective, and a clinging to enslavement that Blacks can’t ever seem to get past. The amazing thing to me is I would have thought that Blacks would be the first ones to run away from the even the slightest smell of statist control. They, of all people in the U.S., should be carrying the banners of freedom in front of every gathering they attend. Instead, they are grabbing onto every government program and every suppression of liberty attached they can get their hands on. (I am generalizing. I do know there are many Blacks who do not buy into the statist set up, but definitely not a majority of them, unfortunately.)

Funny how so many of the Blacks lean towards dependency – considering how those same DEPENDENT Blacks like to strut, puff out their chests, like they so tough. Copping Attitude.
All Marxists are so.
MikeO commented:
Sally, you are wrong; there IS an contingent of older folks. They are hippies that never escaped the 60s and are chronic protestors to nearly anything. It is a small percentage, probably no more than 10-12%, but it is there.
The 99% of the 60s hippies moved back into the real world. (where the 10% of us that thought liberalism was nuts even in the 60s have always remained).
Opus#6@AmericanPerspective commented:
As Condoleeza Rice told Chris Wallace last Sunday, if anybody tells her she MUST think a certain way, THEY are the racists. She can think any way she pleases. And she doesn’t need anybody’s permission.
The leftists who attack conservative blacks and other (fill in the blank races) are the most racist of all. Because they demand leftist THOUGHT.
Let’s keep this site and all of our gatherings a welcoming place for all conservatives.

Reaganite Republican commented:
Many of the 95+% of black folks who voted for Obama have now come to realize that if you blindly back a politician based on a trendy (politically) racial background without any real due diligence or balanced consideration of alternatives, all you do is set yourself up to be used: they tell you what you want to hear and you’re putty in their hands. And as anybody who voted for Obama in Chicago in hope of a better life can tell you, and don’t expect any gratitude from these populist con-artists, either.
Obama’s big promises? lol- that was all Bovine Scatology, my friends. Assuming he ever wanted to help anybody but himself from the start, the man obviously lacks the management skill-set to deliver… as we are all so painfully experiencing together now.
