I think you are missing the point. When I worked for ACORN, they used blacks to hide their illegal activity. What we are trying to do is break that cycle. Last night’s meeting was about unity. If we are true Conservatives, we care about ALL of America and want to take it back. Tea Parties are set up where people live and there is not one in 3rd ward.

The media is calling us a “black Tea Party” but we are simply a Tea Party set up in a urban minority area. All are welcome. We are also a party of the Texas Tea Party Federation.

Thank you for your efforts, I wish you success :)

Some FReepers have some issues with “black” being attached to anything because they think it means “exclusively black”. And of course, if you label any group “white”, you can just imagine.

The reason it doesn’t bother me because I believe we are at a crucial turning point in politics — I believe the black community needs to know there are black conservatives and conservative groups. It teaches people that “black” does NOT equal “democrat”.

Even so, I hope there will be a day that there will be enough black conservatives that these labels won’t be needed anymore.

I accept your explanation, and thank you for addressing my concern directly.

Awesome work you are doing....do NOT let the lefties and the
media “brand” you! You are breaking new ground and it needs
to be recognized on it’s own merits, not by some box that
they try to put you in by virtue of who you are. I hope this
movement grows stronger by the day!
