I don't agree with racism, hate and lack of desire to create your own destiny.
Neither does OWS. If that is what you believe the movement is about, then you are paying attention to the wrong sources. Go to your local occupation and start a conversation with someone. That's how you will learn.
I don't think OWS represents anyone. you have it backwards. people represent OWS, and each adds their voice.
The poster AMA and this petition brought to you by Freedom Works and the Koch brothers.
You obviously have no understanding of what OWS is about.
We don't agree with racism. We don't agree with hate. We don't agree with inhuman exploitation. We don't agree with a society who's ever increasing riches increasingly profit only a minuscule fraction. We don't agree with the necessity of misery and destruction in the name of prosperity. We don't agree to the sacrifice of the people on the altar of artificial wealth. We reject the notion that the progress of civilization is not towards the greater well-being of all peoples. We refuse to submit to the inertia of a broken social order. We refuse to accept an unfair and untenable destiny imposed by a few profiteers. The movement IS, fundamentally, about making our own destiny.
That way you could get a really good picture of whats happening and what change can be done to resolve the problems that are immediate like homelessness, unemployment, investment, immigration etc
In a balanced way.
If they represent the 99% poorest people, ignoring all else, then it's statistically sound that they can fight for your benefit whether you can realize it or not.
Like an open census
The idea I think is uniting against something like corruption creates a force for change.
As long as that change is implemented by everyone it's a good idea because it
would express the needs/desires of those involved via direct politics
With internet technology it could impower people and not politicians or moneymen.
So long as everyone can decide on the questions that everyone answers and it is kept as open as possible
The system doesn't benefit anyone. http://occupywallst.org/forum/family-food-gardens-this-is-the-solution/
maybe you might fit in with the 53% ?

Racism and racial mix policies are two sides of the same coin "divide et impera". It undermines cohesion and solidarity in a society thus simplifies social control of a population, keeps the unions weak.
I wish OWS would quit lying and say they represent the 99%. I am in that 99% and I have NEVER said they represent me. The OWS group is a lot smaller than they want everyone to believe.
If you agree sign our petition.
Claiming 99% is a joke.
