Dateline Charlotte: What if You Tried to Give a Protest

…and the people in whose name you were ostensibly protesting for…well…

…“We’re trying to build a movement,” said Scottie Wingfield, a member of Occupy Charlotte.

But if Tuesday’s recruiting trip were any indication, organizers face some barriers.

Walking up to an African-American woman outside of one townhouse, a white protester called out, “Hey, sister.”

“Sister?” she asked.

“It’s ma’am to you.”

    ROFL! Having spent a portion of my life (HS and some years post-college) in Charlotte…

    I suspect Occupy is going to have a few MORE instances like that.

    And I wish them (black/white/hispanic/whatever) good luck in teaching the ‘Occupiers’ some manners.

    I suspect the ‘Occupy’ turnout is going to be about as successful in Charlotte as it was in Tampa.
