A pro-public union SEIU rally turned ugly today outside the Colorado Capitol in Denver. The Colorado union supporters started out the day chanting, “Tax the rich!”
But later the unhinged SEIU thugs accosted a gay black tea partyer.
This verbal assault lasted for several minutes. In this segment the pro-union leftists asks this black tea partyer,
“I just want to know how you can vote against your own best interest.”
Unbelievable.

Wow Jenny thanks for the link. A must see. Another FReeper was talking about teamster goon squads, this link shows it all. They have one purpose, to get into peoples faces.....
“Lazy Commies in a nutshell:
Voting should be based completely on your own SELF interest and to hell with what is just and right, and to hell with the rest of the country.”
I translate it differently:
We know what’s good for you, boy. So don’t get uppity and start disagreeing with us. That is, if you know what’s good for you. Boy.
Imputing the black cultural norm of out-of-wedlock birth to an individual black dude one doesn’t know is arguably racist, but it appears this woman was snarking at him, not seriously saying that since he’s black, he must have kids born out of wedlock, so an accusation of racism would be more tenuous. I appreciate the temptation for conservatives to put the shoe on the other foot by accusing liberals of anti-black racism, but I think we’d be wise to avoid that except when the evidence is incontrovertible. Whenever conservatives accuse liberals of racism against blacks, we legitimize that use of the race card, something that will inevitably come back to haunt us, since that particular race card is far more often deployed against us than liberals. Let us keep our heads about us and choose those fights where we stand to gain, and avoid thankless fights when we can.
If the guy is a tea partier, then how is his voting against tax hikes, weak national defense, irresponsible spending, and welfare state expansion against his own best interests? Did the SEIU thug assume the guy was a welfare recipient just because he's black?
Going to be a long hot summer I am afraid. Stock up on food and have a bolt hole ready.
I disagree that it is a “cultural norm”. Roughly 38% of black women between the ages of 18 and 44 are single with no children (the highest of all groups). Around 30% are married. Thus, the out of wedlock births are comming from around 32% of black women and individuals within this 32% tend have have on average more children than married black women (which causes high percentage of out of wedlock births).
Around 25% of black Americans fall below the poverty line and this group makes up the majority of the 32% who have children out of wedlock. Unfortunately black culture is often defined based on the behavior of its lower class as opposed to the behavior of the other 75%.
Around 70% of black kids are born out of wedlock; that’s what I meant by calling it the norm.
