Last I heard black people make up about 13% of the U.S. population. It's also safe to say that most of them are Democrats. Anyone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that one.
That being said, how many black people would one expect to see in the Tea Party ranks?
I'll leave the math to you. I do find it interesting however, that you seem rather pleased in confirming that the Teabaggers are almost all white..

I find it amazing that the opponents insist the tea partiers are not significant yet they have an absolute obsession with them. And rather than counter their actual ideas (less government, less taxes, etc.), the only attack they can come up with is a poor attempt at using the race card.

Reads to me like the tea party is winning.

That was false surprise from me. Fun though.

Yep, and if this report is anywhere near the truth...Faux News, Limbaugh, and the rest of the wingnut echo chamber have been doing some big time exaggerating..

Every incumbant should be voted out in Novemeber. And whoever has the majority better get the message they will be voted out if they do not do what is in the best interests of this Great Nation.
I saw one of the greatest bumper stickers I have seen lately the other day.

RE-ELECT
NOBODY

Yeah you must be right roysoldboy. Everything that doesn't come from Beck and Faux is double talk and lies. Now you're even doubting the CSM..

Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?

But its enough to cause liberals to create thread, after thread, after thread...

Obviously you think they hold relevance enough to keep talking about them..

Why do you have to keep on with the racist talk about the Tea Party movement? You wouldn't, by any chance, get paid a bit to keep up that racist Pelosi?

You have it all wrong. What pleases me is confirming that your thread is full of hot air. It has a familiar smell....it's just coming from a different pile this time around....

I didn't write the piece. Though it does validate what myself and many others have been charging..

As one might predict, the two community types with the highest percentage of African-Americans score lowest in terms of tea-party membership
Btw, Pelosi's a racist? Another Beck pronouncement?
