And then there's the sign that says "Save White America". That's funny, I seem to remember Obama running with a white VP, being supported overwhelmingly by white voters and bailing out white bankers. Save White America from what? A black president?


Stop lying to yourself. You'd have to be blind or willing your brain to shut itself down to not see what's racist about the majority of these signs.
I'm not lying to myself, I'm just asking for proof which I don't see a lot of at all. I'm in no way saying that none of the signs are racist or that no racist people have ever showed up at a Tea Party rally but out of the thousands and thousands of Tea Party events that have taken place around the country I only see the same 10 or 15 signs over and over again, a few of which aren't racist in any way. I'm just pointing out that people claim the Tea Party is based on racism and there's no proof of it other than blind accusations that people make who hate the Tea Party for various other reasons. The Tea Party isn't based on racism, it never was and it still isn't. The Tea Party has members of all minority groups and being a member of the Tea Party doesn't make a minority member any less intelligent or anything like that. In many cases the minority members who do join the Tea Party are well educated, well spoken and very capable of making choices on their own unlike a lot of minority voters who supported Obama for no reason other than his skin color.

How does that prove anything other than a certain group of people are prone to physical violence? Either explain to me how those signs YOU posted are racist or admit that you can't, I'll take either answer whenever you're ready.

I don't think that proves that any group, whether it be Blacks, are more prone to physical violence. Fail.

So was this racist?



What about this website dedicated to this BS?

Political satire

All of that's ok right?

OK

Just came into some argument I guess. Looking at the last couple of posts ... monkeys or something.


Look, I don't care about your BS.


If a person believes in conservative values -- let them be who they want to be.

Sometimes those values include being fiscally responsible or socially responsible.

Damn, you guys are acting like you get to decide for Black people.

Black people can decide for themselves.


White Democrats don't get to absorb in faith the Black Vote.


It really pi*ses me off that the left thinks that Black people are only Liberals. Even people like Sharpton pressure people.

It even pi*ses me off that we're discussing skin color at all. It should be that some people have a certain outlook and some people have a different outlook.

If you want to start using derogatory terms for Tea Party members you shouldn't do it in a thread where you're crying like a little ***** about people being racist towards black people.

What was the connection between Bush and a chimp?

I don't think it makes sense to call any establishment a "black bar" or a "black restaurant/store" in a thread where you're crying about racism. I don't know of any exclusive black or white establishments so I'm not really understanding your questions.

No crying, just commenting on the obvious. Teabaggers began using the term "teabaggers"

Bush and a chimp was a pun on Curious George. I think a poster stated that multiple times before, to you specifically.
