The Tea Party and Racism

[DeMartMan]

Every time I post this video, the Right-wing trolls have a meltdown. They actually try to deny that there is any racism at these Tea Parties. Racism and bigotry has plagued our history, it is part of our heritage which should bring shame to all. Many would like to think that we have out grown that dark side of our nature, however the hatred displayed towards our first African-American President would say otherwise. The Tea Parties are full of such racism and uses it to motivate hatred of our President. This video exposes that racism. The people of the Tea Party gets angry when their racism is exposed, when they should be angry that there is any racism to be exposed. So I propose that instead of getting defensive, lets talk about racism in America.

2. Thank you

The more we focus on the ugliness of racism, the more embarrassed they will be to use it. They already are trying to deny being racists, the next step will be to stop doing or saying anything that sounds racists.

3. I have 1 or 2 family members who side with the TP yet claim no racism. Bullshit. I will post your

video on FB when I feel the timing is perfect.

4. The Con that the Cons are trying to put is to redefine Racism.

They want to redefine racism as just hating another race, but racism is so much more subtle and can be summed up as refusing to accept the pain that others might feel. As a White man, there are so many things that can be offensive to African-Americans that I might not recognize from my own life experiences. Which is why we as a Nation need a honest discussion about race. Many at these Tea Parties don't realize just how racist these things come across.

5. Please help focus discussion on Race

I made this video to try to expose the racism that I have seen at these Tea Parties and hopefully start a greater discussion about race. Please help by using this video to open that discussion.
