Nope, no racists in the TP

I identify myself with the Tea Party and voted for a black man for president before you did, ever hear of Alan Keyes? Race doesn't have anything to do with it, policy and political philosophy are the basis of the TP. I socialize and speak to many of these people, not one time have I heard his race mentioned.

Your argument has no merit, you are just making up statistics.

First, for a certain very small segment of the TP, it is EXACTLY that. I'd estimate more than 5 %, but less than 10.

Second, for a much larger segment, its in their top 10 reasons for wanting him out of office. I'd estimate more than 10 %, but less than 25.

Third, for the majority of TPers, his race is something with which they are not comfortable. They wouldn't necessarily vote against him just because of it, but the odds that they would ever vote for a black man for president is very small. I'd estimate this group at 70 %- plus of the TP.

And, yes, I realize that this latter group would encompass a lot of you.

So be it, it's the truth.

Do you not think that for some portion of the TP it is about race, or at least that race is a factor?

Not asking you to assign a ratio or percentage, but do you not think that it plays a role for some members of the TP in their views on Obama?

I would say that percentage is much, much smaller than the percentage of African-Americans that found racial motivation to support Obama.

Isn't this whole thread like an overkill of Joe the Plumber??

I don't think there is any doubt that this is part of the deal and a complicit lefty establishment helps. That's why all the silliness should be disregarded.

This is where you agrivate me LG. Why is it that you rush to create threads like this (by the way what the guy did was an extremely Dbag move and was NOT funny and he deserves to be drug in the mud for it) when something happens from the Right?

What about Holder sitting on and throwing out the case agains the Black Panthers? Or Jeremiah Write who was a mentor to our president??? I mean you yourself said that you feel it's only 5-10% of the TP that is truly motivated by race, thus that pretty much damns the enitre movement to a fate of nonrelavence? If that's the case in your eyes doesn't that make our very own President and His Cabinet just as racist. Or hell, would you not say that the Black Panthers are racist? Can I at least get that out of you?

for the 1000th time. why does this matter? do you feel that if there is a racist contigent to the tea party that that somehow invalides their views? say it's really 10% of the tea party. that still means the other 90% are doing this because they believe in the core values. so therefore why does it matter?

Go ahead and have 1001 queued up, my guess is you'll need it.

I think it is pretty obvious that there is a lot of real concern out there, even within the more level-headed leaders and managers of the TP, that they have a pretty big image problem on this issue right now.

Image problem? For who? The people who are stating they have an image problem are the very people they're trying to get out of power. No coincidence there.

There were a few until last week, but then they realized that there was more strength in numbers so they rushed off to join the NAACP.

If the TP ever did something like this I would concede that they are racist.

"I was struggling with the fact that so many black people had lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land. So I didn't give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough," Sherrod said. "So that when he, I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him."

In the video, Sherrod also spoke of referring the white farmer to a white lawyer, thinking the latter would be more sympathetic because of race. "So I took him to a white lawyer that had attended some of training that we had provided because Chapter 12 bankruptcy had just been enacted for the family farm. So I figured if I take him to one of them, that his own kind would take care of him."

I'm still waiting on any proof that there is any racism in the Tea Party. This has been debated about for days, and this very thread is several pages long, yet not one shread of proof.

Quit throwing out baseless accusations. It's a tired old tactic, and it reeks of desperation. When a TP'er is a former member of the Klan, I'll listen.

once you get labeled a racist the debate over anything real pretty much ends. You spend the rest of the time defending yourself as a non-racist and are forced to move away from discussing stuff that actually matters. The left is using this stupid tactic very well right now since it's pretty much all they have left

YouTube - Tea Party Speaker Calls Out KKK Members! Herman Cain, Georgia Tea Party

What a travesty, people of different races hugging at the end of the video. Obviously, it was just staged as no self-respecting white Tea Party member would ever do that¡

disclaimer: the previous sentence was sarcasm for those of you that cannot detect that form of communication. Furthermore, it was also marked as sarcasm with a temherte slaqî at the end of the sentence.


Oh, here is another one: Tea Party Racism??

Tea Party Federation kicks out Williams over blog post - CNN.com

At least its not like he was a prominent radio show host, or anything.

(P.S. Love the fact that it was a black leader in the TP who announced Williams is booted. That'll piss off TPers from Tennessee to Texas).

When the Dems kick the NAACP and Holder out of their fold... then they'll have the moral crediblity to criticize the TP.

As off color as this guys intended satire was... it pales in comparison to the race baiting the NAACP routinely participates in. The institutional racism affirmed by Holder is even worse.

Left wing racism is the biggest factor preventing us from putting the past behind us and ironically from seeing blacks achieve at the levels other races do in America.
