Hey have you heard this about the racist Republicans?

Pretty sad, I would say. While I'm not a TEA Party member I liked what many of the TEA Party backed candidates had to say. Didn't agree with them 100% but I have yet to see any politician that I agreed 100% with, Democrat or Republican. What I think is funny is the article at the link below. It talks about an email that calls TEA Party members nothing but a bunch of racist hate mongers, yet her email (sent from her school in Florida) was nothing but a hate filled tirade in itself. Pot, meet kettle.

Google seek "warring parties of the civil rights legistlation interior the 1960's" and you will locate that maximum of them have been Democrats, which contain the hero of Democrats, the presently lifeless former head of Virginia's KKK, Robert Byrd. Why isn't this worry-unfastened expertise? as a results of fact the liberal media's generic objective is socialism, no longer equivalent rights or women's rights or something yet international socialism: -Walter Cronkite, talking on the UN in 1999: "it form of feels to a lot of human beings that if we are to avert the eventual catastrophic international conflict we could desire to bolster the UN as a generic step in direction of a international government." -Dan incredibly, talking on CBS night information, 6/17/87 : “inspite of what many human beings think of, maximum Soviets do no longer yearn for capitalism or Western-type democracy.”

I can't stand the Tea Party, but I think it's unfair to call ALL of them racist.

I think it's obvious that SOME Tea Party types are quite racist, but I think the basic Tea Party them eis that the government should be shrunk to minimal size so that "lazy welfare cheaters" can be thrown off the public assistance rolls.

The idea --as expressed by many Tea Party supporters themselves -- is that this will save the government money, help fight a runaway federal deficit, and help keep Big Government from raising taxes on rich people.

In effect, this Tea Party ** program ** would have some racist results, but it's arguable that their racial impact is accidental.

Since the United States today still is a fairly racist society -- although it's much, much better than it was half a century ago -- racial minorities in general have higher unemployment than whites (although this doesn't keep there from being MANY poor whites.)

Racial minorities in the US, especially blacks and Hispanics, also have less "net worth" in terms of property ownership, on average, than whites do -- although again, there are MANY poor white families who don't own much wealth at all.

In the big cities, at least, racial minorities tend to be over-represented in the public sector work force, and surprisingly enough, American labor unions today have a disproportionately high black and Hispanic membership compared to their white membership (although 50 years ago, it was jjust the opposite way, and many labor union members were white.)

Therefore, because of the remaining "structural racism" in the US even today, there is racially disparate impact when the Tea Party pushes for "deficit reduction" and "small government" policies that are going to prolong high unemployment, hurt poor people more than rich people, eliminate public sector jobs and further undercut labor unions. In all these cases, it's nonwhite Americans who will be disproportionately harmed -- although to be fair, many poor white families will take it in the ear also.

When the Tea Party champions the continuation of generous tax breaks for the super-rich - again, the impact is racially disparate, since the tiny upper -class fraction of the American population that will benefit most from these tax breaks is disproportionately white.

As for the Tea Party's angry opposition to immigration -- well, whether the position is good or bad, it speaks for itself in terms of racial impacts. Obviously an anti-immigrant position, which most Tea Party people seem to support, is going to hurt Hispanics more than non-Hispanic whites. That's obvious.

Therefore I'd say that objectively, the Tea Party's POSITIONS are effectlively "anti-black" and "anti-Hispanic."

But that doesn't mean individual Tea Party members are necessarily racists.

What's more, much more central than any RACIAL bias among the Tea Party folks is their CLASS bias -- their bitter determination to champion the economic interests of the rich and the upper middle classes at the expense of the middle class and the poor.

That CLASS bias -- and not just the racial bias -- is why some parts of the Tea Party have received such generous funding from rightwing billionaires, such as the Koch brothers.

"Working people of all nations -- UNITE."

An argument is where a claim is backed by evidence.

You seem to be claiming that the Democratic Party is racist and the Tea Party and the Republicans are not racist.

Yet you bring no evidence to support your views, other than to say that the Republican party has elected minorities to office. However, it is the polices of the parties that is important here, not the race of the people.

You bring no evidence to support your claim.

On the other hand, the evidence that the Tea Party and republicans are racist is both obvious and plain: they have no plan to end discrimination against blacks and minorities, and some Tea Party want to legalize private companies that discriminate publicly against blacks.

There is the old adage that actions speak louder that words. However it makes no difference to those with closed eyes and closed minds.

lots of hispanics/latinos are republicans, so electing them into office doesn't really prove much.

Good to see they are opening up - racial divisions between parties are not good to see.

Who the heck cares about color except the ones constantly bringing them up in questions. Be for real its about the have and the have not.

lol...Obama felt bad....lol did you see all those "white" people get kicked to the curb?...and people call republians racist?....lol

How can you be diverse, when you only really care about the rich?

Being overly conservative only helps rich people.
