Edited on Thu Jul-15-10 06:54 AM by bigdarryl
In the Tea Party. but you don't hear this in the media.Just got this on The Joe Madison show. To be honest I didn't know they had African American members.But according to Joe they were at the NAACP convention and supported the resolution because they want to join the tea party but has some serious concerns with some members spewing racism.The NAACP also has African American Conservatives on the committee.You don't hear that in the media either.

1. Blacks in the Tea Party are like Black Republicans
Any Black who thinks they are truly welcome by the Tea Party or the Republican Party is a confused Black...at best.

They had better wake up & recognize the results of 1964 & 1968. The Dixiecrats largely switched teams.
Besides the fabled party of Lincoln died by the end of Reconstruction.
Reality was Blacks never really had a party to truly get behind until the 60s.
Sadly it's all for nothing today & perhaps there's no current party we can get behind either.

2. Saying you have blacks and actually having blacks in the tea party
are different and unrelated things. We would have seen photos of them by now, especially with their latest push to deny their racism.

I don't believe everything I read.
