Imagine if the Tea Party was Black

[Cutlass]

we dont want racists to say hey look, the government is giving special treatment to blacks, then they will use that idea to recruit more racists.

So instead we should just tell blacks that they will never be permitted equal opportunity and they should just accept the fact?

 

[FriendlyFire]

We don't have to go so far for examples or racism. I give you this very thread.

So much for the Tea Party....

Well the WaffenSS thread would have been a better example.
(whisper WaffenSS were freedomfighters fighting for freedom and liberty I had no idea. The US were the bad guys, Republicans are right about concentration camps for the Japanses Horror)

Iam kidding

But thats US politics, interesting, crazying and funny.

You don't fight racist recruiting by giving in to racists.

Now we are.

I'm confused. The OP seems to alledge that the tea party marches on Washington with AK47s and what not. When did this happen?

 

[Mr. Dictator]

Why do so many people have to play the race card card so often?

*No the issue [Imagining if the Tea Party was Black" like the article says, which would be identifying non racial organizations as racial organizations.



**No, a person complaining abou racism while engaging in racism using a racial slur seriously.



***There you go again, defining your world based on behavioual assumptiosn predicated on your racial observations.

* I apologize, the tea party is clearly well over 95% white, imagine the tea party was 95% black.

Is that better?

** Uncle Tom is a racial slur? Since when? It's an insult based on behavior not ancestry. Anybody who actively supports people who are working against their interest can be called an Uncle Tom. Yessa Massa is not limited to self hating black dudes carrying around signs depicting the president dressed as a Witch Doctor with the quote "Obama Care" at the bottom.

*** Are you seriously trying to accuse me of being a racist because I am able to foresee American's of European ancestry having a visceral reaction were a large march containing 95% armed Afro-Americans to descend upon Washington?

That's absurd.


Closing your eyes and plugging your ears doesn't make racism go away.

So we're asking what life would be like if blacks, armed to the teeth with weapons, descended on America's capital city? I can't possibly imagine what that would be like.

I'm sure you could - might give you a chance to fiddle with that tiny "violin" again.

Selling crack with a handgun in you back pocket is not the same as an armed organized march with fully automatic rifles. Nice try though.

I see we're Nero-ing a breakdown into a pun thread?

 

[JollyRoger]

Necro, please.

Besides the issue isn't a few uncle toms holding up posters of the president dressed up as an African witch doctor.

Uncle toms as in they're not behaving black right? See you already ruined your argument with that statement. Blacks who are against the tea party are true blacks, those who support it are uncle toms?

No.

Try again.

I am not claiming to be an arbitrator of who "is black" or isn't black. But if you specifically dislike the president because he is black and you are black, calling this person an uncle tom is justified.

If you want to call me a racist for that, go ahead.

 

[Holycannoli]

Ok so you're jumping to the conclusion that the tea party is racist and therefore any blacks who support it are also racist against their own?

That fails just as much.

 

[Formaldehyde]

Why have so few black Tea Partyers provided their birth certificates yet? When are they going to renounce terrorism so we all know they are true Americans?

I didn't say any black, I specifically mentioned the type of signs Tea Party protesters carried. If they carry those type of signs, yes.




Racist just for being a Tea Party member? No. But I am surprised they would want to associate with these types.


As far as I jumping to the conclusions, I don't think it's jumping to conclusions to say that

An armed organized march with fully automatic rifles on the capital with a massive crowd of 95%+ Afro-Americans.

You can say I am jumping to conclusions to say that the media would make a much bigger deal out of this than they did for the tea party, that's fine. ...... In fact that's the point of this thread.
