You call it Occupy Wall Street, I call it Hipster Revolution. Get at me when you start something worthwhile that we can all fight for and benefit from.
I’m sorry that mace in the face is nothing compared to what my people have gone through for centuries and still go through at the hands of the police and court systems and government in general in this country. If it were mostly black people(perhaps with a few whites, instead of the opposite) out there with their little signs, the damage would be so much more unimaginably immense, there would be no mace, there would be tanks and guns and killing and blood, everywhere.
I’m sorry that calling yourself the 99% just shows that you are actually counted as part of the percentage of anything in this country and my people are rarely ever counted.
I’m sorry that being poor is nothing like the ongoing genocide people of color in this country have had to continuously endure.
I’m sorry that your parents are in debt for sending you off to college and now you don’t have a job from it, yet my people rarely have any opportunity compared to your’s unless it is to fill a quota.
I’m sorry that i just can’t get behind something that again is glorifying the poor little white kids when things like the London riots were seen as solely done by “thugs” because they were mostly of color.
I’m sorry that you are doing nothing real to change the world.
I’m sorry that all of your privilege is showing hardcore while the rest of us STILL DO NOT HAVE A VOICE!
I’m sorry that you are making me want to throw up by posting these things over and over on my dashboard, just always so easily showing where you truly stand with all of the other faux “anarchists” who will only stand for something that will benefit themselves.
And lastly, I am sorry that you do not seem to EVER understand the idea of deflation and inflation in the economy ruled by capitalism and how they compliment each other and cannot happen unless it’s hand in hand, and will never ever know what it is like to be a part of a world where the inflation NEVER benefits you and the deflation only makes your miserable unprivileged existence closer to death.
You are all quite pathetic. Take your Hipster Revolution and shove it up your tiny penis hole.
This right here is the fucking truth.
Nah foo, this is not the fucking truth. Yeah this movement’s face is largely white and the “hipsters” are really vocal about it. Take a second to step back and think about it for a minute. This is a white country, majority of the population and control politics and economics, where a relatively very few people are benefiting in this system and continually getting richer and richer. The majority of the people are reacting and speaking out against the bullshit system. Who’s gonna drop their shit and occupy a park in new york first with no real plan of action? Hipster white kids will be the majority of this group. Whether they “make change” or not isn’t the question, they already have. It’s still happening right now while yo black ass is whinin about something nobody can control(the past). Get yo ass up from behind ya macbook, you hipster. Go down and occupy yo city, step up in the wallstreet forum and speak this knowledge for our people. Our generation is hipster, whether you identify with it or not, because at the end of the day we have to live in this society and we’ll be in charge of it one day. The movement has no goal. It is being formed every general assembly. Come speak about the plight of Lost Africans in America in this movement. Bring friends, solidarity is successful. Honestly, if #OccupyWallStreet has inspired you to do anything, stand up and speak your mind dude.
Pointing out that men are privileged in no way denies that bad things happen to men. Being privileged does not mean men are given everything in life for free; being privileged does not mean that men do not work hard, do not suffer. In many cases – from a boy being bullied in school, to a soldier dying in war – the sexist society that maintains male privilege also does great harm to boys and men.
In the end, however, it is men and not women who make the most money; men and not women who dominate the government and the corporate boards; men and not women who dominate virtually all of the most powerful positions of society. And it is women and not men who suffer the most from intimate violence and rape; who are the most likely to be poor; who are, on the whole, given the short end of patriarchy’s stick.

*because I think in colors, men can substituted with white people, and women can be replaced with minorities….fantastic either way!
