The Tea Party Is.....

What is the Tea Party to America?

Of course nobody cares about skin color. They care about different cultures. Well I guess white people do try a lot to become darker color.

Well when I see white people in the sun they become Red and it looks painful.
 
To Mellie's defense, she is probably so used to people crying racist that she just reacts now. I probably would too if I were in her shoes.

But yeah, I think its a combination of cultural shift and seniors not wanting their ox to be gored.



he knows this, which is exactly why he posted his white people comment.... he fools no one.
 
Your questioning of it implies that there's something wrong with a group being mostly one race. Why bring it up if it doesn't matter to you?

Now I have to repeat myself. :roll:

It is becaue I love human behavior. What people don't say often says a lot more about them than what they do say. And the fact is, there is something that neither you nor Rev will say. You won't say why the tea party is commposed mostly of white people. Instead of saying why, you choose to argue that it is irrelevant or you get incredibly defensive and argue that anyone who would even mention race is a racist or hypocrite. That says an awful lot about you even though you aren't even aware that you are communicating. It says that it bothers you and you would rather avoid it entirely than think about it.

:sigh:

Because your question is irrelevant. Why are you asking if YOU AGREE that it doesn't matter? Why ask questions that are irrelevant?

Why not simply answer the question? If it is as irrelevant as you suggest then it should be no bother to answer it. Why all the theatrics and histrionics?

uhm she did answer you, in post 347 no one has any argument suggesting the tea party is made up mostly of white folk.


the point is irrellevant.

I asked, and I repeat, "why is the tea party composed mostly of white people?"

That is the question that you and mellie refuse to answer.

see now, you are moving goal posts....


Why did most black people vote for Obama?

Why don't you answer your own question.

You fool no one.

ROFL! This is so much fun! It is the exact question I asked. I have not moved anything. Look for yourself...

Most black people probably voted for Obama because he is a Democrat and black people vote consistantly Democrat. That was an easy answer. Now answer mine. Why is the tea party composed of white people? The longer you avoid the question, the more you prove my point that it bothers you that you belong to a movement of mostly white people.
 
Of course there are racist tea partiers, just like there are racist Communists, racist liberals, racist teachers, racist doctors, racist lawyers, racist waitresses, racist pro-choicers, racist pro-lifers, racist women, racist men..............................

The problem is people who label millions of people "racist" simply because of what a handful of people have said. You agree, I assume. To not agree would be really, really stupid and you're not stupid.

The difference being that when we see a gathering of tea party folk engaged in their public demonstrations, the visible signs of racism are unmistakable throuogh the many signs we have seen in videos presented right here in this thread and elsewhere.

Can you say the same for a gathering of teachers? Of Liberals? of Communists? Of doctors? of lawyers? Of any of the groups or people who mentioned?

No.

For some reason, racist displays at tea party gatherings seem to be a component that is undeniable and part and parcel of that crowd.

Is that your answer as to why the tea party is mostly white people?
 
No one is bothered by it, Critical. I'm not going to bow down to racial generalizations since skin color isn't a factor in what I believe. Sorry that seems to bother you.

Do you agree with the answer that lpast has suggested? Are the white people paying the lionshare of the taxes and are thus supporting ethnic minorities and as a result the ethnic minorities generally have no interest in belonging to a group that seeks lower taxes?

It doesn't bother me at all. I just enjoy watching you dodge the question because you are ashamed of the answer.

um, white people are the majority of the population, so we pay the majority of the taxes. it's interesting how you view your taxes as supporting minorities, i think. my view is that our taxes, (and i probably pay far more than you), help people who are in need, along with some who shouldn't be here. i doesn't occur to me that they are minorities.

95% of blacks who did vote voted for Obama, it was up 13% or so from previous elections. no one cares about this.


As the same no one cares why the tea party's makeup is what it is. It bothers me not.


but lets play, black folks vote for democrats because how the left has enslaved them with entitlement plans, Good old white boys giving the black man a handout to keep him poor and dependant...


You are right, this racial nonsense is fun!

and yet that same thought process is not applied to the tea party. Game, set, match.
 
I wish I had more time to discuss this, but I have to get back to work.

I really don't understand why race and skin color is such an obsession still in the US. We shouldn't be asking "why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria?" but "why are all of these kids (of all skin colors) failing reading?" Ask the important questions, not the ones that will keep up divided by something as trivial as skin pigmentation.
 
If you are referring to me, I just brought up the skin color argument because I found it funny how defensive tea partiers like Rev are when it is simply mentioned. I never said a thing about racism, but he was so bothered by the fact that he belonged to a group of mostly white people that even mentioning race set him off on a tirade. I have no problem with the tea party being a mostly white movement, and I mention it simply as an observation. I'm not sure why the tea pary movement is composed primarily of dissatisfied white people, and I'm not sure why nobody has bothered to find out. Even you seem to find it offensive to even ask such a question, which I find rather hilarious. When I see responses like the one above it screams "DEFENSIVE". Why are you bothered by belonging to a white movement?

Why is it funny? Because you think it true...or because you think it untrue and just like casting aspersions?

The communist unionist left wing extreme "true believers" will often repeat this lie, the next we can expect is you tube videos.


Can you say the same for a gathering of teachers? Of Liberals? of Communists? Of doctors? of lawyers? Of any of the groups or people who mentioned?

When the communist far left extremist goes out of his way to build up a strawman, one should expect an asinine follow up question like this.


No.

For some reason, racist displays at tea party gatherings seem to be a component that is undeniable and part and parcel of that crowd.


And then the true believer far left union apologist marxist, will in turn come to his own true believer conclusion based on the nonsensical lies he displayed at the start of his post.
 
The average TEA Bagger is white, middle-aged, overweight, with racist tendancies. He opposes abortion, supports state sanctioned murder as punishment, is a war monger and knows he is too old and purned out to ever have to fight. He owns several guns and listens to country music. He tells people he has many coloured friends but in fact would shoot the first coloured guy who came onto his property after dark. Yes, the TEA Baggers are just what America needs.

You're assumptions are growing nuttier with every post. I know several Tea Party members in DC and none of them fit that description.
 
95% of blacks who did vote voted for Obama, it was up 13% or so from previous elections. no one cares about this.

Apparantly you care because you not only brought it up but you know the exact percentages. Why does race matter so much to you Rev?

As the same no one cares why the tea party's makeup is what it is. It bothers me not.

Then why do you react so defensively when I mention it? Why do you avoid answering the question of why the movement is composed primarily of white people?

but lets play, black folks vote for democrats because how the left has enslaved them with entitlement plans, Good old white boys giving the black man a handout to keep him poor and dependant...

So is that your answer of why the tea party is not composed of black folks? They are enslaved by entitlement plans and thus they won't join the tea party because they want the good old white boys to keep giving them a hand out?
