*Sigh* I knew I shouldn’t have checked FR one last time before going to bed!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

At least where I am in GA, there is a growing number of black conservatives and people of all colors who support them. Maybe it’s because I listen to the Herman Cain show every night and I hear firsthand how people are honestly starving for the conservative message and the color of the person speaking it doesn’t mean a hill of beans to them. (Herman Cain is the elderly gentleman on the right when they pan over)

And Herman (and many of his callers) will tell you he has never seen a case of racism at tea parties and he’s spoken at more than 2 dozen. Here is his statement from back then http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2552313/posts

Remember too - black conservatives winning Republican nominations all over the place. Look how many in the Southeast just to name a few - Angela McGlowan/Mississippi’s 1st district, Allen West/Florida’s 22nd district, Princella Smith/Arkansas’s 1st District, Bill Randall/North Carolina’s 13th district, Tim Scott/South Carolina’s 1st district, Stephen Broden/Texas’ 30th district

These conservatives are closer in color to you and I than any liberal in the US - they are true red, white and blue.

I am some 5-6 generation southerner and race was never an issue growing up either with my parents or my friends. I didn’t really know it was an issue for anyone else except maybe my grandparents that is until Jesse Jackson came into the public eye. I believe he and his like (including Obama) are the ones trying to take us back to race relations to the 50s. I don’t know about you but I’m just not going there.

I think the point that needs to be emphasized it that of numbers and purpose. In ANY organization of a large enough size you will find a few racists but that doesn't make it a racist organization. Hell I think you could find a few racists at the American Kennel Club. That doesn't make the American Kennel Club a racist organization. This needs to be said over and over and over. The reason is that if the MSM can find just one racist out of many thousands at a tea party event they are gonna put a camera and microphone in their face and try to smear the organization. They will ferret out a racist if they are to be found. Boy do I hate the MSM.
