I’ve been watching, and generally enjoying, the Occupy Wallstreet (and everywhere else) signs. But this one, I find annoying and offensive:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sign indicates that you are complaining about the world you made, presumptive middle class straight white lady with the presumably genderonormative hat on her baby. And you seen to openly disdain all those who have been telling you this all along (and thus by the exclusionary list you’ve given me I’m guessing as to whom you are). I’m glad if you’ve suddenly decided to become aware and enlightened. But judging just from this sign, you still need to get a clue. <\/p>\n

(And what the fuck is a “vague”? What is that? Anybody know?*)<\/p>\n

Either you sign needs a phrase added to provide context which would indicate that you are not distancing yourself from man of the movements or groups that have paved the way for you, or you need to rethink your message.<\/p>\n

See comments below for a spirited if somewhat mean fight over the meaning of this sign. Which needs a phrase or two to add context.<\/p>\n
