>>Exactly how many Tea party events have you attended? Andy and I are members of the Summit County Tea Party and there are always Black people at our monthly Saturday morning meetings. This is an observation of fact. So what is your observation of fact based on? Fiction?

>Come on, Marcia. Just because there are a few black people in your local Tea Party event, doesn't negate the reality that the Tea Party is mostly white people. Let's just try to be honest here and not argue semantics.

>There are white people in the NCAAP, but that doesn't make the statement that the NCAAP is comprised of black people untrue.

>I see a Tea Party rally every week on the downtown square. Guess how many black people I've seen? Zero. Guess how many white people? 100%

And the tea party is racist because of what - their platform? No coloreds through the front door, bring back slavery, etc right?

It wouldn't be anything like some people don't like having a socialist government, or they don't like having a government continue to expand lifetime hand-outs (oops - I mean entitlements), or they don't like having the national debt increase more than the current state of insolvency. It wouldn't be just economic preferences that move people to certain political parties, right?

What a load.
