I do believe Anita Moncrief is moving further to the right all the time.
When did conducting Tea party rallies based on race become a Conservative Tea Party principle? That in itself is racist.
On one hand I think it’s great, but on the other hand, it bugs me that they feel the need to self-segregate.
I wonder how long it will be before pundits on the left denounce this group as being “uneducated” and “racist?”
Obviously the Left must halt this flight from the plantation. Expect the following strategy:
1. Ignore it. You will find the story only on a handful of conservative sites.
2. Diminish it. Should the story acquire “legs”, if it appears in the old-fashioned press, it will only be as a sidebar with pointed comments about its limited appeal and its fragility.
3. Demean it. If it continues to gather strength, call in the Revs (Sharpton, Jackson, and Farrahan) and whatever other Step ‘n’ Fetchits are on the Dem payroll to condemn it as an “Uncle Tom” sellout movement that betrays Da Bruthas. (As a side benefit, after spewing a flood of such bitter invective, plead for civility in our public discourse.)
4. Savage it. Call out the big guns. Get Obamateur to deride it as a thoughtless, extremist organization in thrall to Wall Street fat cats, corrupt bankers, and George Bush. Sic Homeland Security, the IRS, and the Justice Department on its members. That’ll learn ‘em to git uppity.
You have a hugh and series problem there John.

“It (race) didn’t make any difference to me as long as I had a tea party and we get together,” said Johnson.
That’s fine and dandy Ms. Johnson, but you’d be welcome at ANY Tea Party rally. Would I be able to come to yours since I’m not of the black persuasion? :)
The “Black” in “Black TEA Party” defeats the entire purpose of the movement.
I understand why she is doing this but I believe it is a mistake.
I am a Jew and I would not like to see a Jewish Tea Party group. I don’t think there should be a black one.
The Tea Party message is universal-American and once we divide by ethnicity or faith we risk bringing in parochial interests that divide us.
So would I, an American who happens to be white, not be welcome at this black organization? Should I confer with the members of our local organization to refer Americans who happen to be black to other race specific Tea Parties? What happens to the brown members, who takes them? Latinos and a lot of Asians are both brown, should they be combined by color, or should they be divided by racial guidelines? And what about Americans who happen to be some other color than black, white or brown, where should they fit in?
OK, the sarcasm is on hold. This is the most stupid idea I have heard of yet. Must we eternally be identified by race in this country? If anything could succeed in tearing us apart, this is it.
This can’t be true ... we all know that the Tea Party is just a bunch of racist, old white guys that like guns. /s
God Bless ‘Em!
I always wonder why anyone refers to it as “the minority vote” as if it is a block of votes and not individuals with the right to vote as they please. If more minority voters would think of their vote as their own, and not government issue, they might actually listen to issues like the conservative ideas on education and jobs and personal responsibility and vote likewise.
Well that’s refreshing. Welcome to the party!
