I am sure that you can find some black people at the Tea Parties.

The wealthy, middle aged white teabaggers need someone to carry their golf clubs and shine their shoes just like the good old days they are so nostalgic for.

That's right.
  • 96% of black voters voted for Obama.
  • Their support is more about racial pride than politics.
  • Black people overwhelmingly support Democrat candidates.

We all do know why the numbers are so small. Some of us are honest about it, and some aren't.

Report: Only 67,000 Teabaggers in the entire country..

Then why is everyone on the Left from MSNBC to the President himself running around in a state of deranged paranoia and wetting their pants over a paltry sum of people theatrically excercising their Constitutional rights?

How blacks vote gives the Teabaggers a right to be racists...okay, sure.

Right on the money. They must truly be frightened of this movement, just look how many threads the Leftists start on this forum.

What? You're not making sense.

There's no "blame" for anybody, and I never suggested otherwise. There's nothing wrong with the majority of protesters being white, if you're honest enough to look at why that is.

The facts are what they are, and only someone dishonest enough to try and replace those facts with a cry of racism would see the situation any other way.

I've gone to three tea party events....and I am in no way affiliated with them or what they represent.

I'm really hoping they're not counting people who showed up get a good laugh...

Speaking of "deranged paranoia"....

Actually, if y'all weren't so self-absorbed and "irony-challenged", you'd understand that ALL non-winger "interest" in the "Teabagger" phenomenon, is pretty much of the "WTF!?" variety, kinda like the natural human fascination with the crazy guy standing on the streetcorner talking to himself.

But for some of us, it's also become an ongoing source of entertainment: "tune in again for the next exciting episode of "The Teabagger Family"! Those wild-n-crazy guys (and gals) who are all nuttier than a fruitcake, dumb as a fencepost, and what's more, they think they're all Patriots!"

How does the lack of actions by blacks to join the tea party movement, make the tea party movement "racists"? They are not to blame for the failures of the black community to act!

Thats like blaming the Jews for allowing Hitler to kill them..
