Nope. OWS. Thus saith WaPo anyway. Literally.

But......But..... That can't possibly be! I've been told repeatedly on here when I brought it up that OWS was much more culturally diverse than the Tea Party (whose demographics actuall match US demographics much as far as race http://www.gallup.com/poll/127181/tea-partiers-fairly-mainstream-demographics.aspx ) |

Looks to me like WaPo did some disingenuous cherry picking when writing that article. This is from Fast Survey's website, apparently referencing the same survey, which, btw was taken on a very small sampling.
Plus, its influence is spilling over into black communities: Occupy Harlem |

haha. Not as much as they used to. Even Harlem real estate is getting scooped up by the wealthy. |

And that is worse than in the 70s and 80s when the city had to take ownership of 70% of it? How much of that property do you think was owned by the residents? |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Not lately but I am willing to bet I have been there far more often than you have or most everyone on this board, for that matter. |

yes, I did. It was quite a while ago so I am sure a lot has changed but probably not so much I wouldn't recognize it. My wife really wants to see NYC and one of these days I will have to accomodate her. I have a close friend who grew up in Bridgeport and Harlem was really his stomping grounds. My wife and I have been talking about meeting him up in NYC some time in the future for a visit. I haven't seen him in a long time. |

Apparently not often or recent enough to know that blacks no longer represent the majority of the population. |

That was true when I was going there. there are a great number of Hispanics in the area. From your article:
This is pretty much what I would have always roughly associated with the Black part of Harlem. Spanish Harlem was south of 110th as recall. The white population is still only 10% north of 110th which is no where near a majority. Harlem is and never has been quite what most people outside of NYC would expect or have been led to believe. |

I've always assumed it was as portrayed in the James Bond movie 'Live and Let Die', which I reckon is pretty much definitive as a tourist guide of the area. |
