It's not a lynching, but it's not pretty, either.

Keep the masses separated and confused, to win the battle.
You see the separation gap getting narrower and narrower. It hurts your agenda, when the people unite against your control freak thinking.
Separated? See this, from an eyewitness account in Denver:

Tea Party Express - Rally in Denver, March 31

The demonstrators were overwhelmingly White people of mixed genders and ages, predominantly in their 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s. A small number of Hispanics were sprinkled throughout the crowd. I saw only four Black people.

In a metro of almost 3 million, only 4 blacks show up? LMAO!

You're fooling no one with your lily white teabagger gatherings..
I do not think you have pictures of people placing their genitals on each others heads to prove your claim

No, your trying to make it sound as if there are no black conservatives.

Your still looking at skin color. You think someone black has to be able to serve for the blackman and someone white has to serve for the whiteman.

How about someone to serve for Americans, based on their character and abilities.

It all goes back to giving a man a fish, or teaching the man to fish.
Progressives have longed to get rid of the black Americans, since the 1870's.
Keep them suppressed and relying on welfare, dumbbed down schools and broken promises and they can control them really easy.

96% of black voters voted for Obama. You're not seeing a lot of them at these rallies because they're still backing their horse, and supporting their candidate is more important to a lot of these people than standing up for their principles.

There are some, though, that are putting principles over race and are showing up. That is a simple fact that cannot be disputed.

I really don't understand the "racism" argument. Black people overwhelmingly support Obama, and the media has successfully painted the Tea Party movement as being strictly an anti-Obama thing.

Are people that play golf all racists, too? After all, it's an activity that's dominated by whites. They have their one "token" golfer, but he was just ostracized in a sex scandal - was that racially motivated, too?

You guys need to find a new argument. The race card is so old and worn, it's barely identifiable anymore.

The city of Denver, is a very Progressive old hippy town. What did you expect?

The black population in Denver is among the lowest, when comparing all metropolitan regions.

White 70%

African American 5%

Native American 1%

]Asian Pacific Islander 3%

Hispanic 18%

Other 3%



The fact you saw 4 blacks, is actually very remarkable in that racist community.
