he Tea Party movement has a race problem. To borrow Bob Dole's famous line: I know it. You know it. The American people know it. We all know it. According to the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll, three out of 10 Americans believe that racial prejudice undergirds the movement. That's really too bad, given that it was born out of legitimate concern about the role and size of government, not to mention the size of exploding deficits. But it only has itself to blame.

As I recall, about 96% of black voters supported Obama. He is nominally African-American. Why is it surprising that they are not in the Tea Party movement? What should be surprising is that some are. But the liberals and leftists in the media have an agenda, and they will keep pushing this line of bull.
I suspect the Tea Partiers’s would gladly accept blacks into their ranks, but I also suspect most blacks hold different views than the Tea Partiers.
Racism is racist racism.
3 in 10? three in ten? That is some sort of proof? What a total jackhole.
I predict a correlation coefficient of 0.9999 between this particular answer and an affirmative to the followup question: do you always vote 'D'?
This is not a poll of the effectiveness of the liberal smear, any more than it is an indicator of an actual underlying racism, but merely a measure of the number of hard-core Lefties in the country.

“According to the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll, three out of 10 Americans believe that racial prejudice undergirds the movement.”
Three out of ten, huh? That’d be the same three out of ten who vote exclusively for the progressive agenda...
And...It’s still time to take back the country.
I think it is just one of those averages that is a societal norm for fringe beliefs.
Look. I went to 9/12. I went to the March health care bill tea party.
I was there Sunday for the vote.
What I have a problem with are WP and NYTimes elitists
saying the Tea Party has a problem.
WP, Newsweak, PMSNBC, CNN, NYTimes has a problem. You know it.
They know it. They are losing the opinion that Barack Obama and
his policies are the greatest. The Dems are on track to lose the House in
November. They are the ones with the problem.
We sure do... we have a black racist president that is lying and trying to convince everyone that is not white that we are the devil.

Yup. It's "Can we get to the finish line fast enough?"

Why does the Tea Party have a race problem? Because they don ‘t buy off the Negro vote with the promise of giving them other people’s money like Democrats do?
Big deal. Two out of 10 Americans are liberals. Liberals believe racial prejudice undergirds EVERYTHING they disagree with, so that explains 2/3 of the poll results. The rest are probably folks who havent thought about the crap they are spoonfed by the liberal talking heads. They need to change the channel.
The Washington Post and ABC News could find in any survey they create 30% believing anything they wish to portray at all. The good news is 70% realize we are not racists...and of the 30% who said that we are, probably half realize we are not but just want to hurt our movement...
As I recall, about 96% of black voters supported Obama. ..................................... I don’t buy into that, there has to be more than 4% with a decent education and thinking brain to work with.
The problem is they are mostly white. To be white is to be racist now. As the USA turns from a free country to a giant prison the gangs form. Just like in regular prison. Diversify, Divide, and Conquer.

-Capehart
Oh, I beg to differ. You are very much a “grassy
knoller”. Ask yourself this: Are there ANY African-
Americans who attend Tea Parties? How are those
people treated? Why would they bother to attend
if they are treated poorly?
Yes, conservatives do have a race problem but not
the race problem liberals pretend. Our problem is
that we believe in the individual one hell of a
lot more than we believe in race. As individuals
we tend to judge people as individuals, the way
we would like to be judged. That so many people
have been brain washed to believe that they must
all think one way is sad. But we’re not likely to
change. We certainly hope that others will come
to understand and join us but we won’t kiss any-
one’s butt to get them to belong to our club.
Well said
