Occupy Wall Street not real keen on rich celebrities stopping by

“Sharpton and all these guys — are you kidding me?” said Walker, who accused them of using Occupy Wall Street to bolster their profiles while perpetuating things the movement eschews, such as party politics, consumerism and sexism. “We don’t want to be used and co-opted. This is not a game.”…

The last to speak was Walker, from a New York group called Progressive Black Thinkers. She said Sharpton, West and Simmons didn’t speak for most of Occupy Wall Street’s participants, and she was angry that the men hadn’t spoken up to support the movement early in the game, when Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon were singing its praises. Waiting until Occupy Wall Street was a national phenomenon suggested that they were using it only for publicity, Walker said.

“Once the cops come in here and start beating heads, where are they going to be?” she after the meeting.

Ashley Love nodded in agreement: “If they’re going to come down now, bring us some money.”
