It is easy to refer to your homeland if you know where you came from
Heck. If we go back far enough (75,000 years or so), aren't we all East African?

So let me get this striaght....some tom(all black tea party supporters are toms deal with it)gets up in front of a 99.9% white crowd and that somehow sends the conservative message to black people. This group showed up because of hatred of a black man in the white house. How can any black person be a part of this group. Join the clan instead at least they are truthful.

Sorry a Haitian American married to a white woman will persuade very few Black Americans to switch to the GOP much less the Tea Party.

He's not a "Tom" he has a differing view that's all. Plus he is not really a Black American but Haitian American. My guess is he doesn't see himself as even that which is sad but that's his choice.

Excellent point. Maybe his message would be better received in Haitian American circles.

Maybe not just East African but from some part of the country. I guess my point is that many of the blacks of African and Carribean descent distance themselves far away from the blacks in America. These are the same people that will tear down black people quicker then some of the more ardent racist, not realizing that they are viewed as being another n****r!

He is catering to the ONLY audience that will listen to him. Sadly, the original teaparty only wanted smaller government and fiscal accountability. How it came to what Palyin and the rest of the clueless are saying is beyond me

This is true. I say it over and over this group is not the Ron Paul group. It is a palin bachman group started in racial response to Obama.

I realize this after the fact, but many people (especially the ones targeted by the nut brigade) do not know that there is a separate branch of the T.P. For some reason the nut bridgade a.k.a the teabaggers are the ones that get the most coverage and make the rest look bad
