White NBC Reporter Confronts Black Man at Tea Party Rally: 'Have You Ever Felt Uncomfortable?'
News Busters ^ | 04/16/2010 | Brent Baker

“There aren't a lot of African-American men at these events,” NBC News reporter Kelly O'Donnell, a white woman, told Darryl Postell, a black man at a Tea Party rally held Thursday in Washington, DC, pressing him, in an exchange she chose to include in her NBC Nightly News story, to address her prejudiced assumptions: “Have you ever felt uncomfortable?” Postell rejected her loaded premise that race must divide Americans: “No, no, these are my people, Americans.”

O'Donnell's story noted “skepticism over how the Tea Party is judged and labeled,” letting an attendee assert: “We're not racists, we're not any of the above that people claim us to be. We're ordinary citizens that love our country, and we're fighting for it.” O'Donnell soon wondered if it all may peter out, asking a man in the crowd: “Do you think this has enough energy to really last to November and to make a difference?”

“Do you think this has enough energy to really last to November and to make a difference?”

Socialist translation: Please, please, please say it won't last!

Democrats and Liberals are possessed by race, gender, sexual orientation, class, you name it. They are the party of labels and discrimination.

Ingrained in to the brainwashed mini-minds of Newspeople is the program that all Republicans are closet members of the KKK. They see their job as exposing the hidden racism. They are obsessed by it.

I’m uncomfortable when a member of the Pravda Media approaches me. I loathe Socialist Democrats.

Did she sound panicked when she asked that?

KARL: Well, now, wait a minute. By comparing somebody to Adolf Hitler, you’re degrading him.

Sheesh. Where were these guys when THIS was happening?

Since the 1960’s the left and the elite has been desperate to “Balkanize” Americans...its the old divide and conquer routine...

the reason a monarch keeps a court ...is to play off factions against one another....same deal..pre-occupy us with anything but looking too closely at the latest DC scams....that’s why immigration is such a useful tool to DC...they won’t yield it easily.

Very rarely do you see conservatives differentiating between blacks and whites for their own “gain” or agenda.... this is the lefts “MO”..... they are surely the dividers.

The Dems hate it when a Black wanders off their “plantation.”

This reporter ought to be ashamed of herself (yes I know they do not feel shame). She’s clearly singling out this gentleman because he just happens to be black.

Hey NBC and all MSM:

Blacks make up 12% of the population. if ALL were at the tea party.. 12 of each 100 would be Black, so it wouldn’t look like much.

Since Conservative Blacks make up maybe 10% to 20% of the that population that would make approximately 3 of every 100 at a teaparty would be black.

5th grade math which the MSM has no conception of.

Besides.. we don’t see BLACKS, we see AMERICANS, another Idea that escapes the MSM.

And WE are the racists???
