[lbo-talk] Occupy the hood: A black perspective on occupy wallstreet

[Doug Henwood]

Well, yeah, but what's the point of this exactly? I'm guessing that most OWS participants are more aware of what cops are like than the average Joe. That aside, whites shouldn't complain because things could be worse, i.e., they could be black? Some sort of one-upmanship? Please enlighten.
