Occupy the Hood Aims to Bring More Minorities Into the Occupy Wall Street Fold

Occupy Wall Street wants to represent the "99 percent." But if you've been down to observe the goings-on at Zuccotti Park, you'll have noticed that the majority of participants are white, which -- at the risk of sounding obvious! -- does not represent 99 percent of the U.S. population. Now, labor unions are in on the act repping more working-class minorities, but that isn't reflected in the makeup of the Zuccotti campers.

In response to OWS's crunchy white image, two activist friends based in Detroit and New York have started a sub-movement called Occupy the Hood, which is focused on bringing minorities into the protest. On Facebook, the group's page reads:

It had to happen. Blacks don't want to share the spotlight with white elitist. They want their own movement. Maybe obama will join em. Me Shell my bell can cook.

As long as the protesters are American, who cares if they are any ethnic group. ??

There were some illegal aliens who couldn't speak English, holding a sign in English, that were paid to protest.
