The other week I was on the subway going downtown after school and I happened to sit next to this mid-40s (black) woman, and we ended up chatting after the train was stopped at one station a while and we started bitching about when it would start up again.
Then, I told her I was going with a friend to see the Occupy Wall Street protests (or at least my city's version of it) downtown.
"Are you going to see it, or are you going to join it?", she said, looking at me questioningly.
"Actually, to join it for a bit," I said.
"Good!", she was like, then she said she totally gets it and would go if she could, but she can't with work and kids. She then said she lost her house over 2 years ago and has had to take out payday loans to make ends meet sometimes, and it's criminal what the banks do to people.
We also started talking about GOP presidential candidates.
"Mormon has nothing to do with it!", she was like, "An asshole is an asshole!"
