Occupy Wall Street Is About African-Americans Too






The Occupy Wall Street protesters are saying that African Americans are in need the most help during America’s financial crisis.
Many protesters say that Black communities are hit the hardest, and should demand government support for education, infrastructure and jobs, and a bunch of other causes that affect our communities.
“If any other community needs a bailout, it’s the African-American community,”  hip hop artist Jasiri X said..

Here's what he told BET.Com
“I think that as African-Americans, the economic bailout on Wall Street and the foreclosure crisis has hit our community the worst. We’re like the 99 [percent] below the 99 in our communities, so I think that it’s important for us to be here and be counted and make sure that as we are holding Wall Street accountable”.
