A truly great story is being written:
Black and white TEA party patriots - don’t care about the media, they care about America.
God love y’all TEXANS;).

"To build a strong base of conservative Black entrepreneurs, elected officials and constituents that provide Black conservatives a viable way to express and implement their conservative values politically." So is it conservative or black? I guess race does matter.

This just proves that left-wing Democrat Blacks just can't stand to meld in America's "melting-pot" so they can remain outside the main door and bich to the main stream media about anything and everything!!! This is also true of many other minority groups in the Dem party and even of the dem party it'self!!! It's not just a racial thing, although it's most notable like in this announcement!!!
Having this Jackson Lee person head this effort up is immediately making a mockery of it as well as something with which to mock the whole Tea Party Movement!!!

This taking place in Shelia Jackson Lee's district, she isn't heading it up. It is a predominately poor black district, however there is a more affluent are in the district too, but mostly poor.

That’s not what they’re saying. They just decided to honor Attucks’ memory by naming the party after him. One of my FB buddies went to the event and he enjoyed himself. Finished the evening with a Guinness.

sorry, black tea party goes against everything the tea party should stand for. no black, no white, just pissed off americans trying to have their conservative voice heard by tone-deaf politicians.

The TEA Party has NEVER EVER been about race. There are ALREADY many TEA Party supporters who happen to be black. However, with the formation of this particular group that specifically identifies itself by the RACE of its members first and foremost and then wants to associate itself with the TEA Party, makes me somewhat suspicious.
Therefore, I will take a WAIT AND SEE position before I jump on-board with support. I do not trust the LEFT.

Sheila Jackson Lee represents the area in Houston where this tea party group is being formed. Jackson Lee is a raving moonbat lunatic who would never have anything to do with a Tea Party anywhere - including one in her own district.

sorry, black tea party goes against everything the tea party should stand for. For crying out loud! It's the MEDIA who are calling this group a "black" Tea Party. The organizers have NOT formed a black-only Tea Party group.
Anita Moncrief is a reformed liberal who is now a staunch conservative. She has formed this Tea Party in the black community so that conservatives can begin exerting a presence in that community, and spread some education about our values and solutions.
Sheeesh....go to the link and read the whole story.

Difference anyone? She looks like she could use that bar of soap. RATs aren't particularly known for their personal hygiene.
She used to have that crown-like dreadlock hairdo that must have remained unwashed for years.

"To build a strong base of conservative Black entrepreneurs, elected officials and constituents that provide Black conservatives a viable way to express and implement their conservative values politically." So is it conservative or black? I guess race does matter. Maybe race matters to the folks within the community. It's got to be tough to be a black conservative if only because no matter where he/she goes, it's assumed he/s liberal until and unless otherwise identified, and the same doesn't hold true for white folks or Asians, for that matter.
So a black person anywhere is, in a way, holding up a sign that says, "There's a 90 percent chance I'm a screaming liberal," just the same way as a hippy-dippy vegan college kid does. Sad, but true?
It's got to be quadruple-true if you're a black conservative living in a black neighborhood. I can imagine there being a lot of closet conservatives and Republicans there. So in order to change it, I suppose they might need to make it about race in that context, and that's fine with me. Wish I could help, but don't know how other than with political support.
Self-segregation happens.
Wind, some day this will be behind us. I'd be interested in your take.
