At the Tea party rallies I attended the main risk to black participants was sore hands from all the handshakes and bruises from all the pats on the back.
You're right...that's the truth.
Maybe a 'side by side' comparison will be done some day... gentle Tea Party people juxtaposed with the thugs outside a Trump event with Bernie's ' Simon and Garfunkel's America' playing in the background..... .
A nice comparison of how liberals see themselves - - and how the rest of us 'experience' them...
