Anita says she has the prime spot in Hannity’s line-up today: 5pm ET.
There is no "Tea Party." That's part of its beauty.
There is, however Gulag Bound -- and there is a spoon.
Thanks for your generosity, but there is no "Tea Party." That's part of its beauty.

All tea parties are local
Her locality just happens to be majority minority.
God bless her.
LOL - yes, mostly.
It's the start of something I think should not continue - but that probably can't be stopped, people being what they are.
It's the start of hyphenations - Black-Conservative, Latino-Conservative, each with their own definition of what "a conservative" is, depending on their culture, life experience, blah, blah, blah.
It's the beginning of compromise between hyphenated conservative groups who don't see eye-to-eye.
And above all, it sets something other than being a Conservative above, well, being a Conservative.
I'd rather see a group of Conservatives where one might say "I'm a conservative black" or "I'm a conservative latino/latina".
It's a word-ordering thing.
She is a gutsy lady, however I will not support anyone, anymore, that wants to start a group dedicated to blacks just because they are black.
She could be doing gutsier work by telling blacks whey they should be joining the existing tea party movement.
I’ll join you in that opinion.
DITTO
Just as soon as it becomes acceptable to form white groups, talk to me about joining forces with folks who can't identify with thoughts that aren't about color. I'm so sick of this crap. Blacks don't want a colorblind society.
My comments are in response to your comments only, I am not attacking you personally.
It's not just for blacks!
Surprisingly, the local Fox News channel reporting on the event hastened to observe that many attendees at this founding meeting were white.
Sorry, that's not what I got from the story. YMMV
And I certainly don't take it personally. You have to admit that most of the black folks you talk to have been so indoctrinated that you might as well be talking to Michael Moore about free markets.
I think other black conservative voices may be the only hope, but I may be wrong. These times we live in may have a stronger effect on the black communities than anybody knows. When all the government programs dry up from lack of funding, there's liable to be an awakening.
I love Anita Moncrief. She is truly a hero.
I don’t think that is her point.
why?
“She could be doing gutsier work by telling blacks whey they should be joining the existing tea party movement.”
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

“So, the title of the story is bogus and this lady is not trying to form a group of blacks?”
Correct. It is not exclusive to blacks, as is say, the CBC.
Do you have any idea how tea parties work?
New tea parties are being formed all across the country. This tea party is being started in an urban black area, because they don't have one.
Anita MonCrief explained this on another thread. She said the media was calling it a black tea party, not her. That's why half the people that came were white.
The quote you highlighted was from another commenter- I was responding in disagreement.
Sorry about that.
