how long must we shuffle our feet before things change,,,,,both older generations need to let go of pain and hardships, blaming the "white man, for it all when we are the ones who stand opposed to helpimg each other out because one is too lite or one is way too dark……who cares about that…any more we re all looked down upon, degraded or lef to jang dry……………..

Mike you got white people blood coursing through your veins baby. That's what so called white people don't get…after centuries of living and intermingling with each other I'm afraid that were all Americans. Just darker and lighter versions of the same.
Save the hate speech luv, it waste to much time and allows the GOP to get away with all the murderous behavior they've been getting away with.

So is this suppose to be like an ABC After School Special? Are African Americans suppose give in to your immature name calling and supposed peer preasure?
I'm at work man and I can't afford to take off. But I was and will be at the polls to vote the president and his support team in for a second term.

I think the reason most black men don't go to occupy is because of the police presence. We know we are going to be the first ones arrested or harmed. And nobody wants to feel uncomfortable around white folks basically begging and complaining for a job when blacks are already seen as lazy, unemployed and uneducated. Black people have specific issues that need to be addressed, Our unemployment and incarceration rate is a lot higher and it's seen as normal by a lot of those "other" protesters.

If there is going to be real change in this country, we will have to fight for it, with force. Nonviolence has gotten us as a people nowhere. Our leaders have been violently assassinated. The cops are NOT non violent. They are very violent and it works for them. Peaceful protests will accomplish nothing.

Seeing the photo with the bannister marked "Oscar Grant Square" and reading the articles about his death and how many commented with pleaser on how the police were justified in the killing of; Grant, Harding,Herisse, Duggan and Brown and that's a very short list

Now at this very hour on the news and on the various social internet media people are getting together to "Occupay" some well known financial firm because their out of a job. They can't pay their student loans.

And it's our (people of African descent) responsiblity to get involved?????
If and only IF there's any rewarding accomplishment like a JOB from this "Occupying", WHO stands to benefit if so many African people were to get involved do they stand benefit other getting arrest and being physically humiliated by police for joining in the protest

We [ Africans] have been protesting too long and its got us no where….. just like the majority of you felt it was a waste of our time to protest against Police Brutality it be a waste of our time to join in with the beast and help support their Whining Campaign"

So the solution is to sit around and watch it happen? We are American Citizens whether they like it or not. Let's act like it. You got game nigga? BRING IT TO OWS. Want to have a better life, bring your voice to OWS. Want to end oppression? Bring it to OWS.
Or stay home and be the kind of person that has to hide behind their gack because they don't have the balls to go outside without it to speak up. Don't be a f&&&&-'n coward. We got bad – a$$ gangs, but still to scared of lookin like the house nigga to speak up. You ARE the house nigga now.
Come outside and speak up with the rest of America or sit there in a pool of your own scared piss. You disgust me. I'm going. I will speak up for me. You gonna be afraid now? I'm far more bad-A$$ than hiding at home while the pitiful white kids do it for me.

Our voices will not be heard unless we use them. It doesn't have to be a rainbow. We can fight alongside the white kids. If we don't even show up , we have no voice at all. Cut the Aunt Jemima shit, quit the 'white people suck' attitude for two seconds and see that you have a chance to actually BE HEARD!! Do you think "Anonymous" is all just WHITE people? If so you are wrong. We are being represented already. Go to OWS and grab a microphone (or human mic) and speak up about injustice. Or you can go back to stewing in hatred and doing NOTHING AT ALL. Chicken-$hit niggas.

Agreed. "Don't let the whites join us" is just as racist as the klan. Those young white kids are fighting for us. We are letting them take care of us AGAIN. We can take care of ourselves, and we CAN join them. The bigger the number of people, the more that will be accomplished. All we have to do is SHOW UP, and speak up. You gonna hang your head and shuffle around looking victimized now that you have a chance to change the world. That really is dumb. OWS is calling out to you. Are you listening, or are you so proud of your nigga-hood status that you want to keep it that way????
Tomorrow is the day, October 15th. Get outside in the sunlight and make your voices heard, loud and CLEAR.

These young people are fighting for all Americans. This is not a black, latino, white, asian or any other color issue. When 50% of black people are hurting the most, why would they not join the protest against what has become painfully clear. Wall Street doesn't like black people. Get off your asses and join the millions that are fighting for you. Funny, it isn't just white kids at this thing, rather pretty much every race is represented, from all over the world. If only black youth decide to sit it out, and not have their voices heard with the rest, then the rest will have no pity for them. Hating on whites is keeping us from fighting the corrupt system that keeps us down in the first place. Don't let the rich, privileged whites divide the young poor people of America. You, my young American Citizens are just as welcome as all others. Tomorrow is the day! Come outside and make your voices HEARD. Let our government and corporations know that you are not happy with the way things are? Would MLK sit around behind his PC complaining that it's a "white revolution" if he were alive today? NO HE WOULDN'T. HE WOULD BE REPRESENTING US. SWARM THE STREETS. Let THERE BE FEAR FROM THE PRIVILIGED!!!!

@Mike,
You're right. If we never do it on our own, we will never make it on our own.

Children of Yisrael stand up! If we unite and come back to the God if Abraham, Isaac and Jacob…nothing can stop us! Wake up! They know who we are but most of us don’t that’s why we want to include everyone but the most high says

Deuteronomy 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

@tina i feel you,But you know what sad?That the majority of our people think the opposite.The ignorant,wicked,sell out, and unrighteous of our people out number the righteous, and the ones who genuinely want to help our people come together and wake up to whats going on because times are real right now and our people are struggling the most.These crackas aint neva done shit 4 us but oppress us and our people still think coming together in a big rain bow is still possible.We got to do our own thang and unite.And trust me they dont want to see that.This is all in the bible to.We are god chosen people.They the u know who

How come everytime black and hispanic try to do something for ourselves,because no one is going to do it for us,you sell out house niggas want to include white people.It seems we cant do nothing on our own because you niggas who love your oppressor want to inlclude your massa.Black,hispanic and native indians are the people who suffer the most and are the majority in jail.Forget about those crakkkers there are the reasons why this country is falling.And it is going to fall,there is no saving america.What our people have to do is prepare are self so we could be saved when white people and this country fall.We have to seperate from white people not join them.There kingdom is falling let make sure we dont go down with them

"But we in the inner-city don’t know how this pertains to us. We don’t tie our issues to Wall Street.

'Maybe if we did, we’d have less time to be beefing with each other.'"

I second that.
