Of course, Tea Party figurehead and totally not-racist Mark Williams responded to charges of racism.... with a big old racist screed.
Quote:
Dear Mr. Lincoln
We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!
In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the 'tea party movement'.
The tea party position to "end the bailouts" for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn't that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.
And the ridiculous idea of "reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government." What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!
The racist tea parties also demand that the government "stop the out of control spending." Again, they directly target Colored People. That means we Colored People would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.
Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government "stop raising our taxes." That is outrageous! How will we Colored People ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?
Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.
Sincerely
Precious Ben Jealous, Tom's Nephew National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Head Colored Person
Now, I don't think ALL tea parties are racists - but a lot of them are, and if the rank and file are comfortable putting open racists up as their leaders, they don't get to whine when people assume they share the views of those they allow to speak on their behalf.

You can post all the pics and links you want, but all the circumstantial, suspect and irrelevant "evidence" you toss out, there's still nothing that ties the Tea Party and its platform to anything remotely being " racist ".
Leave the true racism to the professionals....
Color me completely unsurprised that Raptard cannot see the difference between the satire present in this picture as is mocks those who made a big deal of the fist bump, and equating it with the witch-doctor pics.

I don't feel bad, Kane; I don't ever feel anything. But I am anxious for you to follow your comments to their logical conclusion. I could be convinced by your shrewd reasoning, and bold use of facts, that black people are relatively inferior and un-evolved.
Can't for the life of me understand why anyone would accuse you of racism.

Gawd, Story, that is absolutely sick...and ironically shows every fallacy those in the Tea Party who are racist actually believe. I agree with those who said that if the Tea Party accepts leaders who are overtly racist, they have to accept responsibility for being charged as racist. It's the LEADERS who are supposed to represent a movement; therefore the leaders reflect the message.Quote:
I agree wholeheartedly. I KNOW I have prejudices--they're not based on race, but a number of other things. I make the effort not to act on or speak about them because I know they're MINE, so not necessarily valid...but I also know it seeps through. I don't know if I can ever change them, but I try not to be overt...all I can do is try. I don't know how to get rid of them, I honestly don't.
I think it is more sensible to say, "I am human, and thus by my very nature, I am prone to discrimination against others who don't follow my way of thinking". What will make us a more progressive human is to understand that life flows easier if we just keep those opinions to ourselves and carry on with our own way of life and let them do theirs.We can all try to lessen the offense we cause other people, but it will never ever change the fact that we will still privately discriminate.
I'm VERY prejudiced against organized religions when the results are negative
I'm prejudiced againts "sport" hunters.
I'm prejdiced against salespersons who speaking Spanish to each other while I'm trying to purchase something.
I'm prejudiced against neocons and high RWAs.
I'm prejudiced against people who treat children and pets as possessions or abuse them in any way.
I'm prejudiced against people who enjoy being mean.
I know there are more, and I know I fail miserably at keeping it to myself, and I know concerning some that I have no strong DESIRE to try and get rid of the prejudice. But at least I know I TRY (except places like here 
) not to take it out on them (well, except people who abuse children or animals...)
Trying to deny we have prejudice just shows how un-self-aware we are; everyone does have them.

Can't for the life of me understand why anyone would accuse you of racism, or why you'd object.

Beautiful, Story. I'd been wondering if anyone was going to post that. Thanks for doing so!
And yes, I'm sure he doesn't speak for ALL tea-baggers. Just a large portion of them.
I mean, where are the tea-baggers telling him to knock that shit off? He's also the guy who likes to refer to Muslims as "monkeys" and tells them to "swing down from your tree with your tail and join the bipeds".
But no, he's not AT ALL racist, is he?

BTW- some of my best friends are white, and I married a white dude, so I guess I'm not a racist either.
I thought you were Hungarian(?) - just on one side of the family...?
It's not personal. It's just war.

To the original question:
How Can I Prove I'm Not A Racist?
Simple, really.
Do whatever the lib/progs/dems tell you, never speak out of turn, and always remember...
Never think for yourself.

I can post dozens of studies that support my claim. Scientists have always struggled with publishing their findings racial differences
Go for it. As I understood it (and read recently) most scientists regard racial theories as unsupported.
Remember civilisation is a type of culture, as is barbarism... Do you have proof that genetics is a factor (and the predominant one)? Specifically have there been genes identified for intelligence/compassion/whatever you deem necessary to civilisation, that are missing in black people?
It's not personal. It's just war.

Discrimination and racism aren't synonymous. They have different meanings.
