On October 20, 2011, several members of Occupy Houston participated in a picket of the BP Headquarters in Houston. They joined human rights activist Dick Gregory, Dr. E. Faye Williams, Chair- National Congress of Black Women, Art Rocker, Chair – Operation People for Peace and many other claimants who traveled to Texas from Florida, Alabama and Louisiana. The group is petitioning BP to properly compensate low-income and minority workers who were adversely affected by the BP oil release in the Gulf of Mexico. BP has chosen to ignore these workers while settling with other people who are well-connected politically.

Egad Thurstan, that far too clever dark skinned fella’ from Chicago by way of Kenya maybe wining this thing. Why can’t those proles just do what is right and starve to death in quite when we tell them to? Don’t they know there are millionaires out there who can’t afford gold plated toilets? I demand our politicians stay bought!
