Tea Party Is Dealt The Race Card
IBD Editorials ^ | July 14, 2010 | Investors Business Daily staff

Racial Politics: The NAACP, in crafting a resolution condemning racism in the Tea Party movement, seems to have forgotten those Black Panthers with clubs intimidating voters and wanting to kill white people.

The "angry mobs" that reshaped the 2010 political landscape are angry white racist mobs, at least according to a resolution proposed by the NAACP at its annual convention this week in Kansas City, Mo.

The resolution calls on "all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era," said Anita Russell, head of the Kansas City chapter of the NAACP. "We need to realize it's really not about limited government." We suppose "tax cuts" is also code for racism.

The resolution comes after the late Sen. Robert C. Byrd, former grand kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan, was honored for his service to the nation that included leading the filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, supported in greater percentages by Republicans in the House and Senate.

It also comes as the Civil Rights Commission tries to unravel why the Obama administration refuses to prosecute members of the New Black Panther Party who in 2008 stood outside a Philadelphia polling place, dressed in paramilitary garb, one brandishing a nightstick, and saying things like, "You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker!"

One of the Black Panthers involved, King Samir Shabazz, can be seen in a 2009 National Geographic documentary interview saying: "You want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies." Or at least those racists who opposed ObamaCare.

Race card has been played too many times. People now just laugh and walk away. It doesn't mean anything anymore, just like calling someone a racist. Means nothing.

Since 90% of today’s racists are liberals, the NAACP is compelled to create false charges in a desperate attempt for relevancy.

I really like Allen West....He was at a speakers meeting of some sort and the audiance asked about Islam...Allen patiently waited while ALL the others stumbled around trying to be politically correct. It was worth re-running the video just to see Allen sitting there waiting...

Then.. He spoke and blew everyone right out of the water! It was beautiful to behold I tell ya! Called it exactly as it is about Islam and batted that ball out of the park! Proud American....and I was proud of him...very good man!

Well if the race card was played this early makes one wonder what’s coming....it isn’t going to be pretty no easy to take...count on it.

But what I am loving is now that he’s played it I have already seen some of the reactions...people aren’t buying it...in fact they are calling it foul.

So long as an outfit like the NAACP can call this, that, or whatever “racist”, and so long as Republicans, Tea Partiers, conservatives in general, or Freepers get in a snit about such accusations and respond “we’re NOT racists”, their strategy works, and works well.

... For the NAACP and the race hustlers, that is.

Only when Republicans, Tea Partiers, conservatives in general, and Freepers, too make the choice to simply ignore such accusations will we begin to see real progress in dealing with the disaster that “diversity” has dealt us.

It’s time for that open discussion of which Eric Holder claims we are “too cowardly” to engage.

For 50 years, the issue of race in America has been a one-sided argument. Nonwhites make one demand after another, and Euros cower. Any attempt to resist such demands is met with cannonades of the cry “racist” and “bigot”, and the Euros fall silent and back down.

It’s time for Euros to stop being “racists” — and also time for them to be unafraid to speak of what might be called [for lack of a better term] “race realism”.

They may brand me “racist” if they wish, in an attempt to shut me up.

I no longer care. Then they’ll call me a “bigot”, a “hater”, a “xenophobe”, a this or a that. It will make no difference.

I will keep thinking what I think, saying what I say, and doing what I do without regard to such accusations.

I will no longer permit myself to feel “guilty” because what I think, say, or do might “offend” some persons, particularly “persons of color”.

When Euros are willing to do this — and do it openly — perhaps then we will see a true discussion of race and its implications in this society.

But not until then.

Don’t like the NAACP’s accusation? Well, I don’t, either. But the LAST thing to do is come on with something like “I’m _not_ a racist”. If you do that, you’ve let THEM define the argument. And you’ve already lost.

I and many others knew, even a year ago when this grassroots, patriotic, anti-Obama movement got off the ground, that this day would eventually come. It would come near the end of the defeat of those opposing Tea Partyism, for they would be very desperate indeed and this would be their last, pathetic stone to throw, before going down for the count.

We have them freaked, folks. They are up against a wall and have nothing else to do but strike out emotionally and in a final explosion of frustration over their losing the battle.

"Race Card" is ALL they have left!! ;-)

I’m a Tea Party supporter and I am black.

Yeah... but you’re ‘black’, not ‘Black’.

Furthermore, According to liberal logic, this person cannot exist and/or is a paid shill. No black person can possibly object to high(er) taxes, because they don’t actually earn enough income to tax and therefore they don’t pay any, furthermore, they benefit greatly from higher taxes...OOPS! That sounds “racist”, doesn’t it?

Just like Obozo, the NAACP is black first, then probably muslim, then Americans last.


They don’t even consider themselves Americans.

Freepers...it doesn't matter. Don't get stressed over what a bunch of old school race industry profiteers belch at a "it's-not-our-fault"group hug and "woe is me" (woe be me?) conference. The Tea Party movement will not get better MSM press because we bent over backwards to refute the lie. Stay focused...for you..for your children.....for your country

Racists can’t play the race card......NAACP HATE Incorporated has broken it’s own rules.

Bunch of blackmailing (no pun intended) posers pandering for hand outs they are unwilling to work for. Just a bunch or gnats fighting for their piece of the turd.

Same turds that liberals who give em credibility believe can be picked up by the clean end at some point.

Nothing more than a colored collective of cow crap circle flies per se.....

Doom on em and those that support em.......

Vote people......vote and don’t fall for their race baiting BS !

My opinion ..

What nonsense. They have not heard that the Arizona 2010 Project (a Tea Party group)endorsed Mayor Vernon Parker (a gentleman of color) to replace Congressman John Shadegg in Arizona's third congressional district.

Is that called racism? These folks need a cause without regard to facts. Speaks of a marxist attempt at a crisis so Rahm and company can vilify the Tea Party.

The Marianas trench isn't deep enough to measure the depths of liberal hypocrisy.

Oh, let's try anyway. Drop the first liberal in, let's see how he does.

[south40] I'm a Tea Party supporter and I am black.

Oh, dude, you are so dog meat. Do you live in an open-carry state? I'd try that. Or a garde du corps of hot, black-belt, Class III licensed-and-strapped security babes.

Meanwhile, you have the consolation of knowing that a) you're right, and b) you're among people who know what the country is supposed to be about.
