Of course nobody cares about skin color. They care about different cultures. Well I guess white people do try a lot to become darker color.
To Mellie's defense, she is probably so used to people crying racist that she just reacts now. I probably would too if I were in her shoes.
But yeah, I think its a combination of cultural shift and seniors not wanting their ox to be gored.
Your questioning of it implies that there's something wrong with a group being mostly one race. Why bring it up if it doesn't matter to you?
he knows this, which is exactly why he posted his white people comment.... he fools no one.
Now I have to repeat myself. :roll:
It is becaue I love human behavior. What people don't say often says a lot more about them than what they do say. And the fact is, there is something that neither you nor Rev will say. You won't say why the tea party is commposed mostly of white people. Instead of saying why, you choose to argue that it is irrelevant or you get incredibly defensive and argue that anyone who would even mention race is a racist or hypocrite. That says an awful lot about you even though you aren't even aware that you are communicating. It says that it bothers you and you would rather avoid it entirely than think about it.
You have to admit though, it is fun to mess with people.
:sigh:
Because your question is irrelevant. Why are you asking if YOU AGREE that it doesn't matter? Why ask questions that are irrelevant?
Why not simply answer the question? If it is as irrelevant as you suggest then it should be no bother to answer it. Why all the theatrics and histrionics?
uhm she did answer you, in post 347 no one has any argument suggesting the tea party is made up mostly of white folk.
the point is irrellevant.
I asked, and I repeat, "why is the tea party composed mostly of white people?"
That is the question that you and mellie refuse to answer.

see now, you are moving goal posts....
Why did most black people vote for Obama?
Why don't you answer your own question.
You fool no one.
Of course there are racist tea partiers, just like there are racist Communists, racist liberals, racist teachers, racist doctors, racist lawyers, racist waitresses, racist pro-choicers, racist pro-lifers, racist women, racist men..............................
The problem is people who label millions of people "racist" simply because of what a handful of people have said. You agree, I assume. To not agree would be really, really stupid and you're not stupid.
White people pay the lionshare of taxs and all of us that work are supporting a couple of minorities illegal immigrants included
No one is bothered by it, Critical. I'm not going to bow down to racial generalizations since skin color isn't a factor in what I believe. Sorry that seems to bother you.

ROFL! This is so much fun! It is the exact question I asked. I have not moved anything. Look for yourself...

Most black people probably voted for Obama because he is a Democrat and black people vote consistantly Democrat. That was an easy answer. Now answer mine. Why is the tea party composed of white people? The longer you avoid the question, the more you prove my point that it bothers you that you belong to a movement of mostly white people.
um, white people are the majority of the population, so we pay the majority of the taxes. it's interesting how you view your taxes as supporting minorities, i think. my view is that our taxes, (and i probably pay far more than you), help people who are in need, along with some who shouldn't be here. i doesn't occur to me that they are minorities.
If you are referring to me, I just brought up the skin color argument because I found it funny how defensive tea partiers like Rev are when it is simply mentioned. I never said a thing about racism, but he was so bothered by the fact that he belonged to a group of mostly white people that even mentioning race set him off on a tirade. I have no problem with the tea party being a mostly white movement, and I mention it simply as an observation. I'm not sure why the tea pary movement is composed primarily of dissatisfied white people, and I'm not sure why nobody has bothered to find out. Even you seem to find it offensive to even ask such a question, which I find rather hilarious. When I see responses like the one above it screams "DEFENSIVE". Why are you bothered by belonging to a white movement?
i doesn't occur to me that they are minorities.
The difference being that when we see a gathering of tea party folk engaged in their public demonstrations, the visible signs of racism are unmistakable throuogh the many signs we have seen in videos presented right here in this thread and elsewhere.
Can you say the same for a gathering of teachers? Of Liberals? of Communists? Of doctors? of lawyers? Of any of the groups or people who mentioned?
No.
For some reason, racist displays at tea party gatherings seem to be a component that is undeniable and part and parcel of that crowd.
The average TEA Bagger is white, middle-aged, overweight, with racist tendancies. He opposes abortion, supports state sanctioned murder as punishment, is a war monger and knows he is too old and purned out to ever have to fight. He owns several guns and listens to country music. He tells people he has many coloured friends but in fact would shoot the first coloured guy who came onto his property after dark. Yes, the TEA Baggers are just what America needs.
95% of blacks who did vote voted for Obama, it was up 13% or so from previous elections. no one cares about this.
As the same no one cares why the tea party's makeup is what it is. It bothers me not.
but lets play, black folks vote for democrats because how the left has enslaved them with entitlement plans, Good old white boys giving the black man a handout to keep him poor and dependant...
