I traveled on the Tea Party Express tour bus as a singer/songwriter, entertainer and spokesperson; 16 states, 34 rallies in two weeks. I experienced vicious racial verbal attacks, not from the tea party protesters. The racial hate expressed against me all came from the left, people who support President Obama's radial socialist agenda.
Unfortunately, my deleted email box is littered with numerous messages expressing the following:
"You are the dumbest self hating f****** n***** I have ever seen!"
These racists are outraged by my opening lines I boldly proclaimed at each rally. "Hello my fellow patriots! I am NOT an African-American! I am Lloyd Marcus, AMERCIAN!"
At every rally, my proclamation inspired great applause and cheers of joy and approval from the audiences. After each rally many came to me with tears in their eyes. They said, "I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you said. I am Irish (or Italian, or Asian) American. And yet, I would never hyphenate. I feel hyphening divides us. While it is fine to honor one's origin, let's all be American first".

Thank you, Lloyd Marcus. Sorry you had to face such abuse.
Courtesy ping.
Thanks Lloyd for standing up.
Come on Lloyd...you know you need leftie politicians to think for you. Bow down and give up to their enlightenment.
Doesn’t surprise me at all.
Lloyd Marcus is a wonderful singer/songwriter/patriot!
Mr. Marcus is a FReeper?
I’ve read numerous articles by him and have always enjoyed them.
I consider it an honor to share electrons with him.
A great FReeper at that.
We were very happy to see Lloyd Marcus and all the other members of the tea party express in Jackson Michigan. True hope doesn’t come in a particular skin tone.
Here is his report to FReepers on that very incident.

“self-hating”?
Can you say; Projection!
This article ought to appear on the Drudge Report, right under the picture of Carter. If they want the truth about racists then this should be read. Lloyd Marcus exposes their Alinsky tactics again!
When your LIBERAL policies and ideas FAIL, pull out the ole reliable Black Racism Crutch!
What divides our country has nothing to do with skin color or religion.
You are either an AMERICAN, or you are a SCAMERICAN.
Lloyd Marcus is an AMERICAN!
Thanks, Mr. Marcus.
Lloyd, just remember there are more of us than there are of them.
For inspiration, if you want to read about another true black hero, read ‘Color Of Lightning’, the saga of Britt Johnson.
While watching video of the March on Washington, which was playing the Lee Greenwood song Proud to be an American, it occured to me that what truly divides us is pride in our nation. There are those who believe that with all it’s faults, this is still the greatest nation on God’s green earth, because it is the most free.
And there are those who are ashamed of our country, for reasons which I can’t articulate, because I frankly just don’t get it!
