#1 What a load of junk science fiction. Now, here's something real.

#2 ..I have never participated in a "tea party" demonstration or rally.....I do not support those who hate my president because he is a black man - and that kind of hatred is often displayed on racially charged and denigrating signs at tea party rallies.

If one has never attended a rally how could one know that such signs are often displayed? Other than buying the State Controlled Media play of their narrative, aided and abetted by verified plants, agent provocateurs.

#3 Then they have to put up with garbage like this:

Could the Tea Party sue for slander?

#4 Why do they segregate themselves? Even suggesting they need a tea party of their own is a bit racist. If the author and her friends joined the tea-party movement their numbers would drown out the silly white racist elements. Unfortunately they refuse. Very odd.

#5 A good argument is to specifically point out how indentured the NAACP is to big government.

How big government is no longer the servant of the people, all the people, but tries to be master over the people. By embracing big government, the NAACP is telling black America to take up chains and bind your arms and legs, to become a coffle of slaves driven to market. To be owned as chattels of the government.

Searching for equality in slavery is a fools errand.

Does the NAACP favor that if people of other races are slaves as well, that slavery is acceptable to black people?

Do the leaders of the NAACP think they will be the overseers who drive black and white slaves with whips? Do they think that the big government slaveholders will be so generous as to manumit them if they vote reliably every election for their masters?

In its beginnings, the NAACP tried to uplift black people. Then it tried to get them something for nothing from the government. But it was a deal with the devil, and the devil has come to collect his evil due.

Black people can keep their freedom, but only if they earn it by turning away from big government. Being free means being on your own. Otherwise you will have a rope put around your neck, and you ear will be cut, to show that you have become a slave, as is the Biblical invective.

"Then you shall take an awl, and put it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your slave forever. And to your female slave you shall do the same."

#7 So why can't black Americans have a tea party movement of our own?

I dunnomaybe its just me. But does anybody else think its just a tad ironic that someone who is musing about starting a movement based exclusively on race is calling other people bigots? Anyhooif she gets her gig off the ground Id be interested. Im looking to start tea party movement exclusively for Eskimos. Not that Im Aleutian or anything. But I wouldnt mind discussing the perils of an over reaching government while (legally) putting some wood to those baby seals.

#8 If they are concerned about the direction they see things going...maybe they ought to stop voting for Democrats.

Since ~90% of Blacks vote in lock-step for the 'crats, they have been a major contributor to the current problem.

#9 Our local Tea Party has tried very hard to attract blacks. We've had a number of black speakers, all of whom were enthusiastically welcomed. We've had some blacks attend events and they were generally positive about our goals and their experience, but did not join. They just didn't feel comfortable.

#10 The Democrats need to found a National Association for the Advancement if Stupid People. They seem to have the stupid vote completely wrapped up. It should be a great win for the Democrats as stupid cuts across all demographic lines.

#11 Could the Tea Party sue for slander?

One of the cool thing about the Tea Party is that it is grass roots and decentralized. There is no neck for liberals to get their hands around.

This is a good thing and a bad thing, because the Tea Party has no real ability to sue anyone, either.

I kind of like it that way. Let folks slander the Tea Party all they want. I find it hard to believe that rational folks, or even most of the irrational ones, really believe the insane racist allegations. That $100k reward is still out there unclaimed ....
