Were There Any People Of Color At The Teabag Protests? And If There Were What In The Hell Were They Doing There?
Does the GOP actually think this kind of crap is a "movement"? I don't get it. Protesting against higher taxes when you actually received a tax cut. That makes no damn sense. And are we back in 1950s Alabama? I can understand protesting changes in the U.S. economy or economic policies of the President that you don't like, but what is it with the racist signs and the comparisons to slavery and the Holocaust? What in the hell does that racist garbage have to do with your protest? I'm not even going to get started on the portrayals of President Obama as Adolf Hitler. Is it that serious?
Do white folks ever play fair? I mean this is some ridiculous stuff going on here. White folks are not in danger of being enslaved or exterminated. Any comparison to the current economic issues of America to the horrors of African American enslavement and the Holocaust is damn insulting and completely idiotic. And it scared the hell out me looking at folks dressed up as Betsy Ross and other Revolutionary era characters. As a black person, I have absolutely no excitement about that era. My people were catching hell and sure in the hell were not free. Do these folks ever consider that reality when they are running around playing 1776? Somehow, I don't think so.
And you know some people of color actually participated in this brainless mess. I wondered what they thought when they saw the signs and t-shirts depicting President Obama in the most racist and vile manner possible. Did they really feel they were "protesting" with like-minded people?
