| Topic: Black Political Activists: Tea Party 'Not Racist' | |

Black political activists who also call themselves members of the Tea Party movement on Wednesday rebuked charges of racism running rampant in the group.
At a news conference in Washington, the black members asserted that the Tea Party is not at all racist and that the accusations come from outsiders trying to discredit and sabotage the movement. "The injection of race has come from those who want to destroy us," said Selena Owens, an regular speaker with the Tea Party Express, one of the many libertarian, anti-tax groups in the movement that organized the news conference. Herman Cain, a radio talk show host, said the accusations are "hurled at us to divide us and to deflect attention away from the failed policies of this congress and this president." Kevin Jackson, author of "The Big Black Lie" added, "There are two kinds of people I have never seen at a Tea Party: a racist and anyone who owns a yacht. And if they do own a yacht, they pay their taxes." The Tea Party Express organized the news conference to refute accusations of racism that have been heightened by the recent split with former group leader Mark Williams. Recently, Williams posted a letter on his blog written from "Colored People" to Abraham Lincoln, which suggested that black people would choose slavery over having to do real work. "Our slowness to split with Mark should by no means condone racism. It was just out of loyalty to our friend," said William Owens, a black conservative author who has also been a featured speaker on past Tea Party Express tours. The letter Williams wrote on his blog immediately led to a war of words between him and the NAACP, or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which specifically called Williams a racist and suggested there are many more inside the Tea Party movement The black activists at Wednesday's event were at some times dismissive of the NAACP, and at other times outright hostile toward the organization. "I don't think the NAACP are even relevant anymore," said Tim Johnson, vice chairman of the North Carolina GOP. "I think they just did that to get some news coverage." Niger Innis, a spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality was more direct. "I have nothing but respect for the tradition of the NAACP, but I have nothing but contempt for the current leadership and tactics of the current leadership," he said. "There's still a need for the [group], but not if they continue to let themselves be prostituted by some elements of the Democratic party." When asked about an incident where Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a black Democrat from Missouri, was allegedly spit on during a Tea Party rally on Capitol Hill last march, Robert Broadus, who is running for a U.S. congressional seat in Maryland, said, "It never happened." Innis added:"There's no evidence, and we are a country of laws." |

cain and another black man have opinions,, go figure.... I know a black woman who is with a white man, and both think black men aint crap, and both would swear they aren't racist,,, individuals will always have opinions,,,doesn't automatically make them realistic/unrealistic opinions though 'tea party' is an organization, it is not founded directly on racism, but its IDEOLOGY and rhetoric resemble racist ideas closely enough to appeal to individuals who are racist not the BLATANT racists who call blacks slurs, but the ones who would swear they aren't racist while holding their purse anytime a black male passed, or while assuming blacks are lazy or criminal,or not working hard ,etc,,etc,,, just like the republican party |

He used the whopping 4 hours for call backs to job interviews. He got a job so now he doesn't use it. Worked out well for him. The real and the good thing is,that thinking black folks are starting to question the Democratic Party's motives and actions. Some thought don't want to or they are too stupid to think for themselves and believe whatever they hear. |

Go figure.

My G-son didn't wait for another cellphone or look for a group for help. He got out there and did it on his own. That's whats missing in a lot of people today. Instead of doing something about their situation They are waiting on the next handout and it don't work that way. |

Go figure. correction: I stand corrected, so let me clarify I don't believe there is a racist party but in a 'two party' system , it is numerically factual,, that one party will attract racists MORE Than the other and , from my perspective, that party would be republicans |

You wish to define racism in a certain way so as to exempt certain people from being able to be racists. Well, the straw-man won't work. A racist judges people according to their race, an a person of any race can do that. |
