Who cares how many blacks are at the tea parties? It seems pretty ridiculous that white folks feel the need to validate a gathering by pointing out there were blacks there. I will never understand why white people are ashamed for creating this country.
I don’t need to see black people at a tea party to validate it. It’s the right thing to do anyway, apart from any group of people. I’m just glad to unite with my fellow black Americans as patriots, along with hispanic American patriots, etc. And I’m not ashamed of the white race of which I am a part. I do not denigrate the creation of this country because there was not a black man who signed the Declaration of Independence nor participated in the Constitutional Convention. I do not have a white guilt complex. However, I sense a problem with the attitude being displayed on this thread. In the current political environment, I think it is pretty neat that we can show that black, hispanic, asian Americans stand together to make a statement to this out of control government, and that they can’t say that we are a “white” movement.
Problems with that?
