   If every white person were replaced with a black person in the tea party, than I doubt any of the minor misdeeds individuals have committed would even be reported in the news.

   As it is we have news organizations that have, mistakenly I’m sure, edited black people out of frames to show the demonstrations as solely white.

   Once again, who cares what color someone is? What is the liberal fascination?

   Would FOX News be promoting rallies for the group?

   Would MSNBC be denouncing them for the sake of it?

   If their message was fairly conservative in nature FOX probably wouldn’t care, if it were fairly liberal than MSNBC would be all over it.

   Any evidence to back up this nonsense statement, which is only your opinion?

   Another opinion, pulled from thin air with no evidence. Shameful.

   Once again, who cares what color someone is? What is the liberal fascination?

   100+ years of slavery in this country, followed by 150 more of racism and bigotry, and it is an obsession? That statement is not only idiotic, but shows you are blind to reality. Un-fucking-believable.

   This thread is painted with such crap, I wont even bother setting notify. I refuse to bother with the responses from such stupidity.

   You refuse to respond….. You always do though.

   To your first quote, yes that is my opinion. I doubt they would.

   To the second, there was an instance of this happening. You might not remember since after the all the news coverage of the ‘incident’ they just mention in passing that there was some ‘unintentional clipping’.

   For the third and final quote after all that time we now have programs that award people simply for being black. Racial diversity is the worst justification in the world to hire people or give them grants or whatever it is.

   One day we won’t consider a persons skin color when hiring or in college admissions. Today we, seemingly, support the idea that race has bearing on how deserving or capable someone is. If you take away mentions of the minority in question it becomes very hard to tell the difference between affirmative action and other policies like it and earlier forms of racism.

   Puts the tea parties in perspective for me. How many riots have tea parties started?
