Kinda lame, and the elephant in the room: black people's experience with law enforcement and prisons is not even mentioned. 

Weird.

Occupy the hood: A black perspective on occupy wallstreet
By modestoam  |  Posted 20 hours ago  |  greenville, South Carolina

     The Black population in the United States makes up only 12.6% of
the total population, but according to the latest polls, blacks only
make up 1.6% of the occupy  movement. Blacks have been hit harder than
any other ethnic group during this recession. The latest Pew research
poll shows that blacks lost 53% of wealth during the economic collapse
of 2007, housing is the main culprit behind teh economic collapse.
