Rich White People Stall Ballot Shout At Miami Convention
ART BUCHWALD reports at a Democratic convention in Miami where a group self identifying as Rich White People argue they are disenfranchised and demand real voice and action. They rail against tokenism while insisting their class and wealth qualify them to influence policy and tax issues. Their protest grows with opposition from other delegates and a DNC offer to seat ten Rich White People in the gallery is rejected as tokenism.
