Where, Oh Deceiver, Is Thy Sting? The Tea Party and Racism

Where, Oh Deceiver, Is Thy Sting? The Tea Party and Racism
©2011 By Anthony James

As we approach the silliest of all Silly Seasons, it is important to bear a couple things in mind. While the run-up to, and then the engagement of, our quadrennial Presidential Elections are aptly referred to as “the Silly Season” because of the abnormally high level of mischief and demagoguery normally indulged in by both camps, this 2012 Election cycle promises to be an order of magnitude more Daliesque than any we have ever seen.

Not only are the usual players already piqued by the extraordinarily dire situation we face as a nation, but further exacerbating the predictable and, sadly, expected deviations from civility are the existence this time around of two players neither of the entrenched power elites (Democrats and Republicans) would prefer to have a voice in this discussion.

One such player is Sarah Louise Palin, recently the ex-officio “Kingmaker” from the 2010 Midterms. Whether she runs or not (and I firmly believe and sincerely pray she will), she is already having, and will continue to have an even greater effect on the outcome of this street fight merely by dint of the fact that she alone seems willing to speak plain, unvarnished truth to the despicable dissemblings of the Liberal Left, and to point out without apology the fact that their Emperor, while perhaps not naked, is most assuredly an unusually empty suit.

The other such player this time around is The Tea Party. Like Palin, we are among the unwashed uninvited, crashers of this party of insulting innuendo and Old Boy Kabuki with a brash cheekiness which speaks eloquently of our obvious lack of breeding. Also like Palin, while the cabal of DNC/RNC apologists would desperately like to pinch themselves awake to find that both she and we were merely a sheet-twisting nightmare, perhaps just a bit of ‘undigested potato,’ we’re here for the duration, and this Silly Season’s outcome is all the more unpredictable as a consequence.

To fully grasp all that makes the 2012 general election so monstrously different from any to have preceded it, we must add to all the above the fact that the current resident of the White House is a petulant, preening narcissist as well as a compulsive liar. He has absolutely no compunction about fabricating facts and statistics to support his radical anti-Americanisms, and is as ruthless in attacking his perceived foes as is the Chicago Thug Machine which bred him and foisted him on the American Public.

The attacks that are being cooked up to belittle, minimize, or destroy Palin and The Tea Party will be vile and horrific. This Liberal Extremist Mob were on the very brink of seeing the fruition of their dream of capsizing our nation. Their decades of assault on the American Dream, on capitalism, and on our moral societal fabric were within weeks of achieving the goal of “fundamentally re-forming America.” They are not happy with us.

So, it is prudent that we prepare ourselves for the battle to come. We must never be afraid to speak the truth. We must anticipate their next assault and have our defenses in place. One of the despicable ploys they will use in attacking The Tea Party is that we are racist. Let’s just address that one right here, and now.

It is true that the crowds at Tea Party gatherings are predominantly white. There is no arguing against that fact. Sad to say, these groups are predominantly white primarily because of America’s deep-seated racist tendencies. This, too, is inarguable.

However, those tendencies belong not to the majority of folks attending the Tea Party rallies, nor is the problem one which can be legitimately ascribed to the Tea Party leadership, despite that the NAACP would prefer to thus define the discussion.

The reason why the Tea Party crowds are predominantly Caucasian is because the vast majority of America’s blacks still back a president who, by any measure, is arguably one of the biggest disappointments… even failures… in this diverse nation’s rich and multi-cultural history. It is also the case that the black community who continues to support this Oval Office disaster largely do so for one reason only:

And that, simpy put, is racist. The NAACP has proven itself to be a racist organization, which is very different from being a ‘racial’ organization. Any fair reading of the president’s national approval numbers shows very clearly that a plurality of Americans are deeply disappointed with Barack Obama’s performance in office. That nearly 90% of African-Americans still support his anti-constitutional, anti-free-market, anti-American agenda speaks to their own inability to view objectively and assess fairly President Obama’s performace based upon his performance alone.

Color blindness is a necessary prerequisite for the final ending of racism in America. We are being shown yet again that color-blindness is not a particularly strong suit for either America’s black community, or its credibility-shedding national mouthpiece, the NAACP. Neither does it seem to be a goal too high on the list of priorities for those whose futures are most certainly and most greatly affected by the presence or absence of the actually destructive influences of racism interwoven into the fabric of American society.

For the NAACP to blame white America for the fact that blacks still flock to Obama instead of to the Tea Party events is a willfull disregard for the fact that these color-based analyses are toothsome reviews of the symptoms of the problem, with a blind eye turned to the root cause. America’s black community is clearly racist by-and-large, and until they change, racism in America will continue to be a problem which plagues and holds back this otherwise great and compassionate land.

The next time the NAACP decides to air a cautionary message regarding the curse of racist fervor gripping the nation, they would do well to address it to those responsible for this scourge, instead of aiming it at the victims who would gladly welcome more of our black brothers at Tea Party events if only they could finally get past their own self-destructive prejudices.

"Cain"

They'll call him a tool and lackey of the white power structure. You'll see political cartoons of a puppet-like Cain dangling from strings controlled by the Koch brothers, Roger Ailes, or some other wealthy conservative. The liberal media will never allow the thing to be decided by debating political philosophy. For Big Media, rational discussion of issues cannot be tolerated. Conservatives have to be destroyed whatever color. Think Clarence Thomas.

I don't believe the Tea Party gives a squinting whit whether the debauched punditry approves of its racial makeup or not. The Tea Party only exists now because its constituency have finally awakened to the fact that they don't care what the "powers that be" have to say, they know the real score, and they're fed up with the bullshit.

Neither is the author of this piece, as far as I can see, complaining about the Tea Party's melanin content; he's explaining why the imbeciles who pretend that it is a problem endemic to the Tea Party are a pack of lying out-to-lunch asshats.

But your other points are well taken, and legibly expressed.

Sad to say, [Tea Party members] are predominantly white primarily because of America’s deep-seated racist tendencies. This, too, is inarguable.

He actually counters this statement later on, and points out that many Blacks vote Democrat simply because they have been told to do so.

No, he actually builds on it. You're assuming that the deep-seated racist tendencies he refers to are those of white people.

He points out that it's racism among blacks, rather than on the part of the Tea Party members, that's causing the Tea Party events to be attended by predominantly white crowds.

"Alas, the GOP doesn't know how to get this message across."

The problem is a bit morepervasive than that. Republicans can make the case all day long and it would make no difference. You can lead a horse to water, you cannot make it drink. For as long as our Afro-bro's cling to the lie that they will receive some benefit for resisting being assimilated into American "cracker") culture, they will not listen... not as a group, anyway.

There will always be the Herman Cain, Alan Keyes, J.C. Watt, Clarence Thomas blacks; exceptionally well educated, impeccably well-spoken, etc. And these will always be in the marked minority for the simple reason that it just ain't kool to "sell out" like a "Tom" and become a traitor to that wunnerful "blackness."

A tragic exapmle of this sad truth was the honor student black kid a few months back who was beaten to death on the way home from school by his black schoolmates, just for doing well in school. Just for applying himself.

To his 'hood homeys, he was a traitor. Paying attention in school is frowned upon. Learning to speak well has consequences, given how badly brainwashed are the general inner-city black community of schoolkids at this point. All of this is the direct result of the Liberals pushing of a far more convenient message. Affirmative Action, Reparations, you have things coming which are due you just because you're black. It breeds this ghetto lingo, hip-hop, simian antics, flash-mob rip-off mentality, and no amount of GOP "selling" the "if you work hard and earn it, you can have, or be, anything you want," is going to change the mind that has chosen the lazy path of professional victimhood.

The Liberals whom the black community see as their "best friends" in this vile charade are in fact responsible for millions of dead black youth; crack babies, aborted fetuses, three-time-loser convicts, and an entire class of downtrodden people held back and kept down by the Liberal lies.

It is as sick and disgusting as were Stalin's pogroms or Hitler's death camps. The results have been identical.
