Let's not forget Maxine Waters who said "The Tea Party can go straight to hell." Nothing racist there I suppose.

The Tea Party claims that they're not racist
I am not affiliated with the Tea Party in any way but it makes me laugh when all I hear is the charge of racism thrown at them over and over. Last time I checked they haven't been seen holding up the Nazi flag or screaming hateful racial slurs at passers by, so what gives? Your post fails to prove the party of racism, so why not make your argument against their purposed policies instead of pulling the "race card"?

But some members/worshipers use racial slurs as evidenced by words like "ObaMoa", etc.
So, how can this be then?
I realize that there are a bulk of anti-Tea Party threads on ATS at the moment.
In each thread, the Tea Party faithful come in to defend their "cause" while flinging # at Barack Obama.
But, they forgot one critical thing: leave the hateful language at the door.
This isn't "Tea Party Central". This is Above Top Secret. Why has it turned into the headquarters for the CIA's latest political psyops?
If Barack Obama was on fire and begged for my help, I wouldn't even piss on that man to put the flames out. That's how much I hate that lying, corporate lap dog.
So to answer your question, I actually believe what I said.

I'm black, and support the Tea Party. I must be racist, right? Personally, I think Democrats are the racists. When they tell black people that they're "too stupid" or "not good enough" to get jobs without affirmative action, to me...that's racist.
Yes, there are some people in the Tea Party that probably are genuine racist people. However, that can be said about ANY group. I'm sure there are ACLU members, Democrats, animal rights activists, etc. that are racist as well. Get a clue, and quit being a bigot, and lumping everyone who supports the Tea Party into one group, because that in and of itself is bigoted.

I love when you talk about Islam, you cant paint all Muslims as terrorists. The exact same people who preach that message will turn around and accuse all tea party people of being racist. Even though you could just as easily turn around and say Democrats are racists for organizations like the Black caucus.
The whole "tea party is racist" narrative is an MSM/Democrat party creation.
I love when people try to say that the "TEA party" is not racist in any way and then go on to explain how it is the opposite of Muslims and the black caucus. So who are the TEA party again? Just non-Muslim white people? I thought it was just a bunch of common every day Americans from all races and party affiliation. Yet you people keep framing the "TEA party" as somehow opposite Muslims and black people.
I would love to see how you explain that. How is the TEA party the response to a black caucus? Are they really the white caucus? How is the Tea Party a response to Muslims? Is it a religion now too? An anti-Muslim one at that?
This thread kind of proves that the TEA party certainly has a huge element of race to it as it is constantly being framed as some response to black people.

Keep it real and keep it classy.

This isn't about the DNC so stop trying to derail the conversation.
Either confront the topic or tuck & run.

Fair enough.
I'm sure this topic will be trolled soon so I'll bow out. I've just never liked the Tea Party and it's obviously mutual.
