I agree that the purpose behind this movement is not a "white thing."

General comment and not a response to AOII Angel/

However, I consider outcome/application to be more important than intent/purpose. It is no coincidence that Occupy has been a predominantly "white thing." There is minimal racial and ethnic diversity in most cities where there is an Occupy. Also, the Occupiers who have been "the voice" of this movement and who are considered "leaders" are not racial and ethnic minorities. People pretending that this racial makeup is a mere coincidence and race does not matter is one reason why Occupy Harlem is necessary.
