No one here has answered popeye's question about funding,
Had a sincere and halfway-respectful question been asked, a sincere and respectful answer would have been offered.
quote:
What do they do?
Do they "organize" people to "think" a certain way?
Do they wake them up to be sure they're "at the protest on time?"
Ive never seen any around this "community."
By definition wouldn't they have to "organize" people in "poor" communities to think that if they act in a certain way that they'll get ..."more money" somehow?
quote:
They haven't worked in DECADES! And they always go in the afternoons when they're just waking up!
Have you ever seen a community organizer at a Dunkin Donuts at 0900 "getting ready for the day?" Of course not! They don't even roll out till 11.
quote:
I mean there must be some kind of fuckin' manual that the anal-retentives hand out to the plebians, right? "What you can say and what you can't fuckin' say" something like that?
quote:
Go to a "poor neighborhood" and try to tell people your're going to take them to protest in Arizona in the hot sun all day but you're not going to pay them! They'd be throwing fortified wine bottles and stolen t.v.s at you! They're getting *paid* to sit on the front porch and drink a "40 oz" and you want to make them "w,...w,...w,..work,....for................ *nothing?*
And just who's going to organise all that shit, get them there to the buses on time, (Man, I'm hungover like a motherfucker!" "Shake it out Charlie you're goin'!" "Now get on the bus and shut up, it's "for the cause!) lead them in, "This land is your land....." on the bus with them, get them checked into their hotels, back on the bus the next morning for "the protest", hoping not too many of them got high or drunk and got arrested the night before, back to L.A. safely late that night or early the next morning with no O.D.s and break up any fights and hand out their pay envelopes when they arrive home in L.A ? "Community Organizers" of course! They're like the "Union Muscle guys." "Everything has to run "smooth" or fuckin' else!" And you don't want the "else!"
Do you see a sincere question buried anywhere in that manure pile? Had he been interested in knowing what community organizers do, a simple, "Hey, what do community organizers do and how does that all work?" would have gotten plenty of answers. This taunting, ignorant trolling got a different kind of response, and it was the response that it deserved. If that's the way someone chooses to start a discussion, they shouldn't be surprised if that's the direction the discussion goes.

and none on the left wish to actually engage him in a calm, educating discussion about "community organizers'.
A calm and educating discussion was not attempted. He got exactly the kind of discussion he was looking for, and it's not surprising to see you here complaining that he didn't get to have things both ways.
quote:
Mother; So Johnny, what do you want to be when you grow up, a Fireman, Cop, Cowboy?"
Johnny; "I want to be a COMMUNITY ACTIVIST!"
Father; "I knew it! He's a fuckin' QUEER!"
This would be your idea of the OP's sincere attempt to engage a "calm, educating discussion?" Once again you show yourself to be one of the most biased and hypocritical posters on the board.

What utter horseshit.
Totally agreed, but everybody here has learned many times over to expect nothing better from you.

What utter hypocrites you are.
Oh, the irony.
