Reverend: Occupy Wall Street protesters ‘are basically white kids’
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/23/2011 | Ginni Thomas

Posted on 10/23/2011 9:24:29 AM PDT by martosko

Columnists and reporters have been falling over themselves trying to analyze how the Occupy Wall Street protests compares to the tea party movement. But they’ve failed, says One Nation Back to God founder the Rev. C.L. Bryant, to treat both movements fairly.

“It’s amazing to see that the ‘occupiers’ of Wall Street are basically white kids, and they’re dressed fairly well — there are some out there who are kinda scruffy — but I don’t see the media bringing up the fact that there are no black folks in it,” he said.

Exactly. Its a bunch of pampered, rich and middle class white kids who want something to do and who are looking for some meaning in their lives. Why do they have no meaning in their lives? Because they have been handed everything and have no idea how to work for what they want. Its the curse of an affluent society. We all know kids like this and sadly, may have some in our families or may be guilty of it ourselves with our own kids. Give them what they want without forcing them to work for it. Teach them they are “special” and then not criticizing them when they do wrong or fail. Occupy Wall Street is a bunch of young adult babies crying for their bottle.

I'll tell you who the OWS people are, they are the idiots we saw in the crowds during Obama’s speeches in 2007, soaking up the hype and nearly having orgasms over anything and everything Obama their messiah had to say.

Fast forward 3 years, they have graduated from college and haven’t been able to get a job and are crushed with enormous student loan debt, and they have lost all their hope, but still long for change.

“They are “basically RICH white kids” with $5000 dollar computers.”

At last Saturday’s Occupy Vegas on Fremont Street, my buddy and I mercilessly mocked the young idiot carrying the “END CAPITALISM NOW!” sign, who was wearing Nikes, and $300 Diesel designer jeans, while texting away on his I-phone.

Lenin called people like this “USEFUL IDIOTS”.

Blacks don’t get loans, they get grants. Only white people and foreign students pay tuition. Get real. I call tuition the white tax.

hehehehehehehehehehehehe (shhhhhhh)

The liberals, progressives, socialist, yadda yadda yadda are so conditioned to see the world via group identity that this whole charade is imploding on itself because they are incapable of getting along with each other. Just as the Arab Spring will implode upon itself, but not without possibly millions being killed in the process.

So delicious! Not the killing, the irony.

Young skulls full of Marxist professor mush who are absolutely clueless. They want communism but they’re also going to want communism with all the things that come with capitalism. Total morons. What a waste of expensive “education”. They pay a small forture to the colleges and professors and come out dumber than when they went in.

Someone on a radio interview called them “Generation O” - the 20 to 24 year olds who were in college when Obama was elected. She was probably too polite/discrete to call them Generation Zero.

They sponged off mommy and daddy until it became hip to reject them.
