Dittos. Tea Partiers accept me for who I am, and don't try to force me into an ideological pigeonhole just because of the color of my skin.
When I was last back home visiting the family (who are all well aware of my politics), they asked me if I weren't "uncomfortable" around the Tea Party people. I told them that, quite honestly, I've never been more accepted and perfectly at ease in any group. You could practically see the false impressions melting in their minds.
It’s a damn shame the level of bigotry thrust upon Black Conservatives. On the upside, it’s obvious the Leftists feel threatened by the growing Black Conservative demo.
