Occupy facebook

VIA- My facebook response to a kind freind of mine who posted a response to my comment and a Huffington post article about the lack of black presence in the occupy movement.

"outside of class there is a social justice issue that could hinder the progress of this movement just by having a more colorful presence. I'm not saying it's bad that most of these people are white. I'm just acknowledging the in terms of social movements blacks historically and consistently would have succumb to acts of violence by the police much sooner had the crowd been predominately brown and that alone can send the message, revolution is ok and even safer as long as it's visually white."
