Alright.
Note that anyone who has been to a tea party rally or understands the tea party perspective can tell instantly that claims of overt and blatant racism at a tea party rally are artificial, fabricated or an extreme anomaly.
Thanks for bringing out the actual truth, FRiend. I can't speak for other states but here in Texas, TEA Party gatherings are frequented by both Mexicans (but those who are here legally) and blacks (not the thug types of course). Contrary to the leftwing narrative, it's not just we old white folks. As for the slam dunk proof that neither FReepers nor TEA Party people are racist, just look at how popular Herman Cain was. And close to home, I know quite a few FReepers who really like the San Antonio Spurs (they have quite a few black players) and were happy when they won the NBA Championship.
At the risk of using a word I've come to despise, my experience is that TEA Party events attract a diverse crowd of Patriots. Frankly, until I just now mulled it over due to this thread, the color of those attending doesn't even register with me. The only colors I really notice are the red, white and blue and the yellow field of the Gasden flag!
