[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]tea party is by definition racist???? how is that possibly true? some of their biggest heroes are black conservatives.  have you seen the cain train fire up those rallies?  they don't agree with your favorite black politicians, but the movement is nothing to do with race.

I am not a member of the tea party, but [b]I do think african americans have been destroyed through 4 decades of welfare spending.  it was well intentioned, but it back-fired.[/b][/quote]

WTF? How did this become about the  black people on welfare stereotype? As has been said many times before, there are more white people than black people on welfare. Most African Americans get up and go to work just like everyone else. I'm African American and I don't even know anyone on welfare. So, when you speak in ignorance, you should keep your opinions to yourself.

And just because a tea partier supports a couple of black conservatives doesn't mean they're not racists or that they don't harbor racist ideologies.  [/quote]

I'm assuming you think a Tea Party member is racist because they are against welfare spending.  If that is not your reason, what is?  Tea Party members are obsessed with government spending, not social issues or race.  Give me an example.

[b]Yes, supporting black conservatives DOES mean they are not racist.  They support people who THINK like they do, they don't care whether or not they LOOK like they do.  That is the definition of someone who is COLORBLIND[/b].[/quote]

This![/quote]

No, this is a definition of someone [b]who has a few token Uncle Toms [/b]around him in an effort to get people to believe that "Some of his best friends are black."[/quote]

What do you mean " who has"? 'Have' in what sense? Black tea-partiers are individuals that came to their beliefs just like all the other blacks (and others). They are nobody's.[/quote]
