The demographics of the beast are interesting - from what I'm seeing on the news, they're mostly white hippie types. A bit odd, I would've thought a movement like this would get more of a turnout from the Hispanic or Black populations. Guess not.

That means this protest is just because of a black man in the white house huh? There was none of this protesting going on when Bush was in office. There was no OWS movement before Obama was president. Where are the calls of racism? Is it because Al Sharpton went out searching for the few blacks and found one or two in the crowd (haven't seen any of them leading yet) does it mean it is "diverse"?
