Tea Party Is Bald-Faced Racists, White Privilege Conference Speaker Tells White ppl

No. Though at this point I don't know many left who support his polices. It was the dozen variations on "he's not one of us" that pointed to the racism. The people who thought he would make the country just for black people. Who think he's out to ruin America so Muslims can invade.

Though I will say this. Suddenly apposing polices that he uses that previous presidents had used and having not apposed them under those previous presidents is questionable.

I wouldn't say the entire Tea Party is racist, but I would say I don't know a single racist who didn't support the Tea Party.

 

Another sweeping statement which is like saying I don't know a single idiot who didn't support the Democrat Party.

 

Or perhaps just a statement from somebody who doesn't personally know many racists.

 

Actual racist are fairly rare on the right these days. We don't like them or their message. Yeah the TEA party is so Racist that we supported Mia Love in droves.and Tim Scott, There were other African American TEA partiers that had near misses

 

So blacks, who have historically been 13% or less of the country have contributed just as much to America as whites, who have been 80-90% of the population for most of the country's existence?

 

I suspect that there are far more ideological dogmatists amongst TPs than there are racists but, to whatever extent there is overlap, the influence of both in mainstream politics is clearly diminishing.

Turdblossom has largely won his war with them, and McConnell is "crushing them everywhere!"

I could ask where I said all Tea Party members were racist. Or I could just say the word token. But really, if you mean to convince anyone that racists are rare, in the right or the left, you're going to have a hard time.

 

I'm sorry over all racist are fairly rare in the US in general. This is not the same as saying there are none. The problem isn't racists it is politicians left or right trying to magnify a racial divide that, as it exists today is almost entirely a creation of government policy.

 

How dare you offend the ISIS guys? Don't you know that's politically incorrect these days according to King Hussein?

 

Tea Party may not be "racist" per se, but it is true that a significant number of abject racists reside within that group. There is NO denying that.

 

Of course you have proof.

 

Well I'd have to disagree with racists being rare at least in my own experience. But I will agree that people do try very hard to magnify racism and create a frenzy over it is much as humanly possible. Media mostly, it keeps the ratings high.

 

You should understand that rare in a population of 325 million can be a fairly large number and that such people tend not to be randomly distributed through out the general population. You should also understand that the term 'not one of us' applies to a lot more things than just race.

 

Some people have nothing better to do than call people they don't know racists.

 

Correct. Racism (or better yet, the problems culminating around the same) is not 'rare'.

It's ignorant, naive or simply deliberately untruthful (a politically useful posture) to suggest that racism isn't a significant problem in this society. For even a cursory look at this nation's history and related culture will show racism is an OLD, BIG and PERSISTENT issue.

People who (for whatever reasons) seek to ignore, deny or employ racism as a tool... are simply horrible for America and need to be called-out at every possible opportunity. It's something we can and should get better at as a nation.

 

The problems which have been pervaded by (whatever the number of) racists in America are absolutely significant. And in the minds of some, that is exactly how they WISH it to be. For they know that the problems tend to fall upon the poorest and least represented.

And THAT predatory and oppressive mindset is surely UN-American.

 

Damn straight it is and the best damn way to fight it is to see to it that the bastards have no more power over you than absolutely necessary. The small number of racists in this country have almost no power other than what you cede them in your own mind.
In the main racist groups are composed of three typethe ignorant the stupid and those who have figured out that even the ignorant and stupid have money.

 

People in the Tea Party are all different types from many places. Lots has to do with what part of the country they are from. Montana Tea Party probably has more camo and beards mostly white. It's racist to label the Tea Party racist.
P.S. I am not part of the Tea Party nor have I ever attended a meeting.

 

Having been to nearly every part of the continental United States and found all sorts of racism along the way I'm going to have to once again disagree with you. I've seen it in every part of the country and in every race of people I've met. Large numbers of people disliking other races, or blaming other races for nearly everything. And most of those people, would be in complete denial. They recognize that racism isn't good, but think racism has more to do with the words you use than anything else.

I think you missed the point of my 'not one of us' statement. My point was that every single thing that people could have claimed to have been different about Obama than they were was rammed down everyone's throat for months, if not years. Actually that still hasn't stopped. There's still a whole ton of people who still think he's not born in America, follows fanatical anti-white Christian teachings, but is also a Muslim and Athiest. I've never in my life heard people beat a dead horse for so long. Not with any previous presidents. And certainly not about things that aren't even the guy's policies. There's an absurd amount of room for legitimate criticisms of his terrible polices, but I still hear 'not one of us'. So what makes this one so different? Was the controversy loving media just that good this time around? Was it the D next to his name? Or was it really that one 'not one of us' statement that nobody said because it was career suicide all along?

 

The Tea Party is not a race.

 

We should. Unfortunately we have to get over the hurdle of racism being a taboo subject to honestly discuss first.

 

That's a mighty 'convenient' assumption to make. I think you go too far... especially if you are not willing to address the literal EFFECTS of the racism which surely exists.

 

There is no racism. Equality is the law so suck it up minorities. If your life sucks it is your own fault.

 

Yes. And sadly, the 'primary' ethnic group that should literally be pulling out all the stops to combat racism (by discussing it honestly/openly), has a serious (practically neurotic) aversion to doing the same:

Check It Out

 

Given the number of them that are paid Federal informants, it's not much of a stretch that the only reason many of these 'groups' exist is because of Federal subsidies keeping them alive.The Democratic Party is by far the largest and most violent racist group in the country. They rely on it for survival.

And besides, the neo-Nazi types aren't even remotely fans of the GOP. This guy, for instance, has been an active KKK/neo-Nazi for a long time. He first became notorious for his participation in the 'Greensboro Massacre', where he ad other Klansmen attacked a march in Greensboro, killling some marchers. Let's see who he supported for President, shall we? ...

He did so in 2008 as well. Democrats have far more appeal to racists on all sides than the Tea Party does, but keep babbling onward; repeating a lie long enough supposedly trumps facts, after all.
